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

    That's why I can't fly like AJ, my servo grommets are too straight.:brian-banana:

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    I got three flights on the Extra yesterday. I'm afraid that the plate in front of the carb was not a miracle cure. At this point it's hard to say if, or how much if any it helped until I get the tune closer. Before the plate I had the top end fairly close, but the plate threw the top end tune...

    Hey Mike, I found you a pilot!:lol2: Sorry man, I couldn't resist.

    After looking at a build thread on that I agree. The flat box sides would be easy to modify for a wing tube, plus add about a million lightning holes.

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

    It's here! And somehow we managed to get it through the door, but it fought us mightily. I was quite shocked on my way to the field this morning when I pulled up behind Tony and he had the SU31 with him. Unfortunately he didn't get to fly it. We had a ton of trouble getting it to run. Four...

    It's an absolute crime that that airplane has been discontinued. At least it's not on Chiefs site anymore, they only have the V3. :(

    The S1-11B three view is one I did not have, thanks! The picture of the one you were designing on the wall reminds me of one I have of the original design for what became "Miss Moana" printed on standard sheets of paper taped together hanging on a garage door at my shop. ;)

    Show Me the Biplanes!!!!

    Yeah that's a nice kit, @stangflyer and @Wacobipe have both built one, but I'm wanting to build from plans, either my own or someone elses. I guess I must like to cut and sand wood. I know, I'm a sick, sick, man.:oblong:

    Show Me the Biplanes!!!!

    Okay Biplane fans, I need your assistance. As some of you know I'm looking for my next project and I'm really wanting to do a biplane. I'm looking to either do a plan build, or draw my own plans. The issue with doing a plan build is most of the plans out there are fairly old, and don't lend...

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

    Every time I look at it I try and figure out the steps involved in painting that thing in the mold. It boggles the mind when you think how they painted the mold before any glass went down. It's not like painting something on the outside. You can't paint it all silver then start striping, you'd...

    Post your servo, receiver, and battery setups

    The one thing I don't like about having LiPo's in my 35% Extra is taking my charger to the field with me. I have a small truck and it's so packed full already I hate bringing the charger case too. I'm too paranoid to charge the night before, and running too late in the morning to do it, so I do...

    Post your servo, receiver, and battery setups

    Yeah I think the 4.8 Ni-Cad pack was the death of many an airplane with a Spektrum receiver. It might be fine in a trainer with 4 nothing servo's, but put a load on it and brown out city!

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    Tomorrow morning if you can believe the weather man.;) Sunny, high of 86, winds ENE at 5-10. I think the humidity is even supposed to be down. Sure beats the 108 from a little over a week ago.
