    Show Me the Biplanes!!!!

    @Matt I thought the same, but Terry said it pulls fine....just as good as his Mej 29x12 3-blade. This is on his piped DA170. Also VERY quiet. It would certainly be too much for a piped 150. Of course, he's a rage'n Cajun so ....... ;)

    FAA Announces their rules for radio controlled aircraft

    I didn't register my Raven and just <<<<<< LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!!! :eek: I am always skeptical when it comes to the government initiating ANY new regulatory scheme. It only goes towards furthering the unbelievable bureaucracy that already exists. Think I'll wait and see how things shake out...

    Altitude: how it affects fuel/air ratio

    Also, remember that density altitude greatly affects the pull your prop has as well as the lift generated by your wings. There are tons of DA calculators on-line, but as an example......at sea level on an 80 degree day in high humidity the plane and engine can be operating as though they're...

    Thinking about a Beast.

    Well....the bird is Photoshopped....but my Raven is not, unfortunately :(. Good news was we got it down without further damage and I've already started repairs. It will fly again! Might have to rename it the Phoenix ;)

    Carnage

    Hah....Yes, i was worried about exactly this as it was mainly hanging only by the prop, with a little support by some small branches. As we set the ladder and I climbed up under it I kept thinking...."This SOB is gonna fall and take me right off this ladder!" Needless to say that didn't...

    Krill Extra 330 LX building thread

    If I recall, these wings also now have the reverse tapered ailerons (as the full scale does), where the aileron chord is greater at the tips than at the root ends.

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

    Well....it's NOT the Krill, but at least I AM working on something :(. After putting Capt Jack's Raven in a tree on Thanksgiving Day, I've checked over the plane and while at first glance only thought the canopy deck sustained some scuffs and paint damage, it actually was crushed and broken...

    Thinking about a Beast.

    Like Matt said.....it is a fun plane to fly. I had a DA120 in mine...obviously PLENTY of power. It has a lightning fast roll rate and snaps are a blur. It does a blender that you'd swear would explode the plane....always gets the attention of the peanut gallery. The stock colors look great...

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    Roger...will your telemetry allow you to see amperage draw on the boost tab servo? Not sure if it is possible to get the right amount of movement so it doesn't fight the main ail servo.

    Sport Beautifying the Beast

    From Wikipedia; "The North American Aviation T-6 Texan is a single-engined advanced trainer aircraft used to train pilots of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), United States Navy, Royal Air Force and other air forces of the British Commonwealth during World War II and into the 1970s...

    Yes....just had to add some more drama to my total lack of brain cells that afternoon!

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    Roger....watched this a few times. Am I correct that the small boost tab servo is programmed to provide appropriate tab deflection, given the amount of aileron movement, which is actually driven by the large servo/torque tube?
