    What To Do About Teflon Coming Off of Flex Portion of Header

    I used some high temp teflon tape on my DA 100 headers. The headers will carbon up inside and seal the flex up. No worries.

    Airplane Cradles in the Shop, What works, what doesn't?

    Go PVC. And if you dont make it really big, it wont flex much. Then wrap it up in pipe foam. The kind that has the slit on 1 side, and also has the double sided tape on it. :)

    No pain, no gain! Thats what I say. Plus, having the little guy hang around me, I had no choice but to get better. Cant sit around feeling sorry for yourself, otherwise you will not recover well. I chose the get better quicker route!

    Don't have a life and spend it online 33 hours a day, making useful posts. :) Geeze, I need to get out and fly more..... Being laid up in a bed for 6 weeks didn't help my matters any...

    I can't wait til this event. I'm glad to help where I can, but I also tend to over relax at this event too! I have 1 event before this one to attend and to run sound at.

    Pin and flag switch with JR PS rx

    I'm using DMSS power safe Rx's as well. They are bullet proof. As far as balancing the battery packs? There is nothing inside the Rx to balance the packs (keeping voltage equal). I have used a soft switch as well as the bind plug style "switch" that is included. A pin N flag is virtually...

    New 78" Carbon-Z® T-28 BNF Basic with AS3X® Technology

    Now a 3 axis gyro in a heli is a different story......... Blade 180 CFX has AS3X. Perfectly fine with me! :)

    88" Pilot Extra 330

    Weight is just a number. Airfoil choice is something else! :) Friend of mine had an A/W Yak 54 ARF, it was a tank. DLE 55, seemed to be adaquete on power, but still seemed a bit lethargic. He could have spent $275 on CF upgrades to shave 1# off it, but it was not worth it. I flew it 2...

    Lesson #1 from Bart, OPP

    I was spotting for a guy at a fly in last year, I think.... And I told him that I would call out airplane locations and if the center was open for him to do something. Everytime I called out a location, he would look. I asked him to not look at the other airplanes flying. I will take care of...

    New 78" Carbon-Z® T-28 BNF Basic with AS3X® Technology

    Spend that much to get rid of the AS3X stuff..... Wish they offered it Rx ready. Yep. Gonna say it..... Gyros don't belong in airplanes, only helicopters.

    Need your help fellows - fighting elevator on final

    I like the looks there. If the clevis on the elevator control horn only has a sleeve, no ball, then you may need the "freedom" for the knuckle to rotate to maintain a straight pushrod. A friend of mine loctited the clevis onto the studs, to prevent movement, and ended up ripping the clevis...

    Build: EF 88" Edge 540T

    "B"is a baseline pitch. Which is like a 10 pitch. Just sayin. :) Ive found wood props tend to load the motor a bit more than a CF prop. But choose the wrong wood prop on a large engine... Ear plug alert! The B may work out for you, but I ran 1 Vess prop, and it did absolutely nothing for...
