    Help picking out a prop for DA-150 ? !!

    29x10 is too small for that 150. It is more of a 120cc prop. If I had a spare one, I would sell it to you. I tried digging up the weight for the 31x10W last nite, and come up empty handed. Try a 30x12 or 32x10. Those are the other 2 best props for a DA150.

    Help picking out a prop for DA-150 ? !!

    Can you adapt the Rx packs to the nose of the airplane? No need to add dead weight to the airplane. If you cant, and this may look a little goofy, but the engine is the heaviest piece that can be moved forward. But shove that out another 1/8" to 1/4". But a non lightened backplate will help...

    Savox servos

    Since I cant buy anything, I figure the best way is "shameless" plugs. :)

    Has anyone ever tried towing banners with RC planes?

    Yes, and 20 years ago. It was hooked up to a Midwest Cherokee, and just a small banner that said "Congrats"! Flew it at a wedding. Had to fly ot faster, due to the drag.

    Muffler Bolt torque value?

    TFAR........ That Feels About Right. Typically, I use a lock washer and copper permatex. Tighten down using my long 4mm ball driver. I get one that occasionally comes loose, but more less since using permatex on bolts.

    Savox servos

    I like both Brian and WW. Both are stand up folks. You cant go wrong buying from either! I really like the Savox I use.

    Header tape

    I've been running "Rescue Tape" on my DA100 headers. No leaks, but I did split the tape once.

    ZDZ 112 Champion mounting

    Yup! Runs good. I don't think I have the top end peaked out enough, but right now, with just a run on it, it will be ok!

    ZDZ 112 Champion mounting

    I've pretty much packed it in for this year. Won't be any good flying days until late March or even early April. Will give me plenty of time to finish the mounting of things. And hopefully save up some $$$, too.

    I feel your pain man. I used to be in the same boat. Then I got a house with a nice basement. Downfall is, the basement it only about 7'. My next place, the basement will be dug probably 14' to the bottom of the floor joists. Best bet is to fly it to find your best CG.

    ZDZ 112 Champion mounting

    With some luck, my 112 will take its first breath today. I know Ive been saying that alot lately, but dammit, its a nice day out today. And I think I should fire up that 112! Guess I still need to finalize ignition mounting and set the pick up on the engine.

    New ZDZ112 B2RV / Installation into PAU Edge 540

    Thats for sure! On the pipe subject..... I had an EME 120 in my OMP Extra, which ironically, became the donor plane to my ZDZ 112. My old EME on pipes wasnt real peaky in mid range with standard length DA 100 headers. I will be using the same headers and pipes on my 112 as I had installed on...

    And if you get a leak with a smoke tank, its all fiberglass inside! No wood to replace, except for the gear plate. Wipe it up and clean it with some rubbing alcohol. :) Which is another reason to cut in a couple of vents in the bottom of the fuse. Drainage! :)

    Help picking out a prop for DA-150 ? !!

    Ya. You can do that too. :) I never got any smoke residue or fuel or exhaust inside the fuse on my 32 with the 3W 78.

    For Sale 12S Lipo pack

    If anyone is flying 12S heli, ie 690-700 sized machines, have I got a deal for you... I have a Glacier 12S 5300 35C pack. It has bullet connectors on it, but can be easily changed to your favorite plug. Im not going to be using it anytime soon, so, it needs to go to a new home. It retails for...

    Mine was left open, on my 32%. They even left it open on the 36 and 40s, when running stock exhaust. Cut in a couple of louvers on the bottom of the fuse, and it will draw more air out.

    ZDZ 112 Champion mounting

    I have an infant, dude. I kinda do like seeing him and all around having fun with him. ;) So, RC is taking a back seat this winter to hang out with him. I may hit the golf dome once in a while to fly indoors, but that is yet to be determined. Indoor season here starts next weekend. My...
