    3D photofest, post your good shots

    Ok guys, I figured out that you can edit your post and fix the photos that are not showing up after the update. Once you are in the edit menu click on the image and you will see your file name. Then upload a replacement photo.

    Scale 180" C130 Project

    Awesome build. When I first saw foam, I kind of figured a giant foamy. Obviously not even close. I love the detail on the interior formers.

    Extreme Flight 104 Extra 300

    Tell me about it. I was looking forward to flying my Monday with "stangflyer", but work pretty much begged me yesterday. Today I am up at my cabin in the mountains with my Grandson. I did get to fly one of my micro hell's and I will pull out the crack yak, but I really need to get my 104 in the...

    Extreme Flight 104 Extra 300

    I am not quite sure how smart I was, as I borrowed some electrical tape and made a temporary patch. It held quite well. Still have to fix it permantly, but I have been working quite a bit the last month.

    Siko's avatar is pretty sick and twisted. Thats probably why I like it.

    Extreme Flight 104 Extra 300

    I took my plane out a few weeks ago. thankfully I noticed a small 1" tear in the covering on the tip of the main wing. I would have been very bad, and I not noticed it. I ordered some covering to patch it up. I would guess a similar sized failure at speed ripped the tail apart on yours???

    Fixing up the firewall

    A hardwood drill guide sounds like a great idea. I have considered using the backplate on the engine before, but I think this is even better.

    Hello from Illinois

    Welcome, I grew up in the Chicago area. Learned to fly at a field in Arlington Heights.

    3D Extreme flight 74" laser exp

    I really don't need another EF plane, but if I did the laser in this size would probably be it. I love the 60" and already have 78 Extra. I love this size. Easy to setup and put together.

    I going to order one of these. A suggestion for next time. The GSN logo on the front, and a good graphic of an extra or some other aerobat pouring smoke out the pipes on the back.

    Seriously, Thank you guys!

    I guess ultimately if the members aren't customers buying your products, then advertising to them is a waste. There are a lot of guys at the field interested in the bigger gas planes but seem content to keep flying the 40 sized nitro stuff. Part of this is simply the expense, but I think larger...

    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    I just rebuilt my 60" laser after I smacked my first one into the back corner of my jeep. The control horn did not have the little trapezoidal plates that go with the control horns. I was told by Chris they are not needed and they dropped them from the kit. I guess you have an older kit that...

    3D photofest, post your good shots

    I wonder if the photos from the first page are gone for good with the forum change. It's strange that some of the threads are fine while others are not.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I am definately interested in specifics on how to do the fiberglass and filling on a aerobatic plane like this. Especially as I understand it, you can make it just as light as the covering???

    I wonder if the fuse is the same. Maybe we could switch out the wings and the stab for the v2 one.

    Fixed avatar help

    Bart, If you could post the current file limitations that would be helpful. It seems as if it downsizes if the file is to large. Then the image get really fuzzy.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Wow, with a fuse that gorgeous, are you planning on painting it or just using the standard heat shrink covering like monocoat?
