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

    This is the first EDF I will have flown in several years. I can only compare it to the E-flight BAE hawk (Built up EDF) and Foam HABU. Everything I have seen so far is really top notch. The only things I did not like was that one of the elevator servos does not have its horn correctly positioned...

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

    Saw some neat mod ideas about the front landing gear so I followed suit. No 3D printer :( just old fart hands and some wood. I also put some shrink wrap around the bay door spring to help hold its shape and avoid metal on metal. If it's not a triple digit heat index day late tomorrow afternoon...

    Help! Anyone own the 104" AJ Slick?

    Yeah the heat and humidity keep me indoors too. Hope to get out tomorrow afternoon though. Now get that Lazer dressed with a shirt and tie (cowl and spinner) for some awesome pics :attaboy:.

    Potenza question

    The Aura 8 failsafe can be activated by low voltage (dropouts/brown outs) and by loss of Rx signal. In either case Aura will "lock" the servo ports at their respective positions when a fault occurs. If you have failsafe settings installed in your Rx then Aura will mirror those settings when it...

    A small box was waiting for me to bring it in the house and save it from my "inferno" mail oven :ooh?:. Avanti S getting set aside so I can CAP off a Sunday this weekend :cheers:.

    Most welcome ;). I thought it sounded pretty darn good WOT screaming down the flight line too :). And the guy "nailed" the landing:applause:.

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

    I very much have to agree. Freewing states 115 out of the box with a 40C 5000 6S. I'm going with a bit more electron push 65C packs. I think 120 plus is very doable with them. What really impressed me watching all the vids was the sound. Darn close to a actual gas turbine model. The flexing...

    Got the 72 boxed back up and Avanti S unboxed. Very nice 80mm sport EDF foamy :). A bit of work to do with it starting with programming the Aura 8 and tucking it inside the fuse with two remote DSMX RX's. Going to re route some wiring too and clean up the battery bay. I have read some reports...

    Got my new box of Jet Foam in today :on_the_go: . It beat the CAP motor coming back and will probably beat the DJ72 as well :rolleyes:.

    Here is a TF P-51 with the F50.......My buddies TF 51 with DLE55 weighs 24.5 pounds so I imagine the one in the vid is close to that.

    Help! Anyone own the 104" AJ Slick?

    I did not know that packages enjoy "sight seeing" o_O. Guess I need to be more attentive to their feelings. Hope they served lunch at least to the packages in flight :happy:. :lol2:

    Help! Anyone own the 104" AJ Slick?

    As long as it is undamaged be happy that you got it. Best sometimes to just be patient but I know how ya feel. Now on the other hand I am suffering from "We did not find anything wrong and sending it back to you" issue :concern:. Always something.

    Been using allen heads from RTL for servo arms too for awhile now. I use M3x6mm that fit Futaba and Blue Bird servos. Servo mounting screws I get from RTL as well. 4 sizes to choose from so anything from micro to HVHT digitals can get mounted securely and not mess up the finish with that...
