    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Awesome job! Is it easy to see in the sky on a cloudy day or does it kind of blend in?

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Well, the 31x12evo-l ripped at about half throttle! It did have better pulling power on the uplines though. I am looking forward to trying my friends 29x12N 3 blade to see how that works out. When the Mejzlik ripped it wasn't near as loud as the Falcon though. As far as breaking goes, the...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I am finding out that the Falcon props are quite a bit louder than Mejzlik props. I have started going with more pitch and less diameter on the larger engines and so far it seems to be working out pretty good for me. I will let you know what happens with the 31x12evo-l Mejzilk after I get done...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    It is funny you mention that because I was thinking the same thing :) For the type of flying you like I think cans would be a better choice because they tend to not be as finicky about the rpm range you are running in. The Proflow cans from @Planebender are supposed to be the sweet spot for...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    That was one of the smoother flights of the day :) Figured out that without the spinner it is a touch tail heavy which made it super sensitive to the elevator so, it took a few flights to get used to that but, by the 4th flight I was able to get through the Intermediate sequence without zeroing...

    Hey Rob, See if it works now. It shows as Publc but, maybe it wasn't saved that way.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I got a break in the weather and took the 330 out for some test flights. After 5 flights with the highest temp being 197, I am feeling pretty good about the GP-176EVO! The video is of the first flight out of 5 today :-) Sorry no 3D, this is my IMAC bird :-)

    Finished baffling the LX. The weather is giving us a break this afternoon so, off to the field we go!

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Looking for some help reading these plugs. My thoughts are a touch lean. This was from a full throttle runup and ignition kill. The lighter one is from the cooler side of the engine, see previous post on baffling :) I am running 40:1 Redline with 91 octane ethonal free gas.

    Awesome job Rob! Looked like she flew really well.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Ok. Just downloaded the data from my Eagletree recorder and for those who are still in doubt that baffling helps and that good baffling helps even more, Details don't lie :) I only finished one side of the baffling last night because I didn't know the engine was going to show up today, 3 days...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Well the engine showed up 3 days early so, I put it back in it's rightful spot and was able to get it fired up tonight! What a beast this will be :) Looks like we may get a brek tomorrow and possibly get a flight in if the field is dry enough. Going to check on it tonight

    If you use the Central Box 200 you have dual battery inputs along with servo isolation so a bad servo doesn't take out everything it just gets shutdown.

    jeti DS 16 thread

    @camss69 I am waiting for my DS-14 to get here. It is a less expensive way to get into the Jeti transmitters and only pay for the modules you will actually use. I picked mine up from Helidirect.com. You can also give Espritmodel.com a call and ask any questions you have. They will gladly answer...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    We will get a beeak starting Monday but, it will take a few days for the field to dry out. That is ok because the engine won't be here until Tuesday and hopefully the new DS-14 will be here by Wednesday. The rx's and Central Box 200 will be here by Wednesday :-) Then it will be a matter of...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Well seeing as how @stangflyer wasn't here to stop me, did some more baffling on the Extra. Strange things happen when you find 1/32 ply laying around. I got one side done and will make something similar for the other side when I get back to the garage again.

    Hello from Olathe, KS

    Welcome to GSN! Looking forward to seeing you at some contests this year. You should have picked up the Yak :)

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I didn't work on any planes but, I did finally order a JETI DS-14 :) That means I will be doing work on airplanes next week sometime. After 20+ years of flying Airtronics, I have finally made the move to a different radio system. Anyone looking for a good SD-10G with 2 8 channels rx's and 2 10...

    Great job! That should look nice flying the Intermediate sequences :)
