    Primo....why not just continue the theme on the front?

    Starting DA-150

    I run a 2600mAh Li-Ion through a Sahara reg to drop it down to 6v.....going on 4th season now without a single hiccup.

    Starting DA-150

    The very last thing you do before flipping the prop.....TUG on it to make sure your restraint (whether mechanical or human) is ready, with no slack for the plane to jump forward!!! :msn_slap:

    Starting DA-150

    I can't tell you how many times I've started my DA150 on just 2 flips. I'd be able to buy another if there was a bet involved for each. Anyway, here's my technique; Choke ON (closed), throttle at IDLE, ignition ON. I leave the ignition ON as it won't fire until flipped through a compression...

    Split Ailerons?

    My snap conditions (upline and downline) are dictated by the throttle position and both of those are high rate ailerons. The rest of the flying is between those throttle positions and has about 1/2 the aileron throw.

    Split Ailerons?

    I now have about a dozen flights on the my 42% Raven with splits....and I honestly cannot tell the difference flying IMAC (Advanced) sequences. I haven't even changed the throws I had setup with the full span ailerons. Way more than enough aileron.....and landing with those big inboard flaps...

    IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

    If one looks closely at the full scale 330SC you'll see that the ailerons have a "reverse" taper, with the chord near the root less than that at towards the tips. Not counting the aerodynamic balances. Those, of course make it look even more exaggerated than they are. Also....they are really...

    FAA registration number decals

    Well...the Raven is about ready to fly and next week looks like fabulous weather here. So i had to get "legal" and put the damn number on it. Who say's I can't have some fun with that though :banana-dance:.

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    I though about that but didn't want to lay that much covering over another layer of covering. I only put enough red on the wing so the black overlaps it. The yellow turned out OK....just did it in smaller sections, like a few feathers at a time. The original covering was done in a similar...

    Split Ailerons?

    I've flown other friends plane with split ailerons in IMAC and have had many discussions. As the current rules are written, there is nothing illegal about them. I just split them on my 42% Raven and should have it in the air in a week or so. Right now I just have a simple flap function for...

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Getting closer to finished on the Raven repair and clearing the way for getting back on the Krill....:confused:. Ailerons covered. Left wing covered, ail glued and servos installed (Savox 1230SG, 500 oz/in). Right wing almost done, just need to get the yellow outlines on the feathers....what...
