    Because it's ZooFebruary, that's why!

    NOE with the doors off was the best. We flew along with Cobra's and they gave us Scouts crap because they had air-conditioning. Without the doors off you were in a green house during slow flight tactics.

    Because it's ZooFebruary, that's why!

    When I flew OH-58's we did a lot of JATT exercises with A-10's. I remember with great detail my first one too. We had the doors off as it was very hot and I was in a low hover in trees. The IP I was with knew it was my first JATT. When the first A-10 called Splash (like 20 seconds out) the...

    3D Splitting Cowls made easy

    These are at 0.100" thick and both weigh 70g. No question the fiberglass will be lighter. To be honest I don't know how thin I can actually make the baffle. This is not a wax based RP system so parts are on par with ABS strength. So I could leave it 0.100" at the bonding area and thin in...

    91" Extreme Flight Extra

    Pulled off this morning the first go at my baffles for my 91" Extra w/DA-70. The front inlet contour I already matched with a simple straight extrusion and that fit pretty good. As you may have seen the cylinder sits lower that the inlet and due to the offset motor mount tilts off to the...

    3D Splitting Cowls made easy

    Another question I just thought of regarding the necessary cutout on the left side cowl for the plug cap. Should this be done before making the split line?

    3D Splitting Cowls made easy

    So I am getting close to that spot on my 91" Extra build that I need to think about if I am going to split my cowl or not. Right now I am unsure of the baffles. I have drawn up in CAD unique baffles that blend from the inlet to the exact size of the cylinder. Looking straight in from the...

    The Spammers are getting out of hand.

    I don't think that will be the case. It's not blocking real people, it's just one extra step in the new account creation process to keep out spam and hackers. With all of the private information being hacked these days I think new members might feel it more secure.

    flight log app for giant scale/gas

    Thats why I say to set the engine up as a fuel. You can give it the motor name and even upload a picture of it and even if that motor moves to a new plane you can still track it just like the electric side with batteries. batteries can go in different planes.

    flight log app for giant scale/gas

    One thing to do is track your motor as fuel, just like batteries . I spoke with the programmer and suggested them adding engines in the next release and he likes the idea. You may want to contact him as well. The programs however is great and very fast to use. It is also cool to have...

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    My 91" cost less to ship to me than my 76" MXS, The MXS was shipped UPS to a commercial address and the 91" was shipped common carrier to the same address. Call EF and see what the rate is by freight.
