    Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.

    It's been a pleasure. Looking forward to a flight report and the next build.

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

    I finished up with the Sukhoi today. Tony, the owner is coming to get it later if it stops raining. The wiring for the gyro is about as neat as I can make it. There is so many wires, and only so many places to go with them.

    There is actually a 50cc and 61cc airplane behind the Sukhoi that you can't see.;)

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

    Tonight I matched the aileron servos in the Sukhoi using the Powerbox. It was pretty easy, and they really did need it. I used my amp meter and before I started one wing was drawing over 2 amps. After I was finished they were all .08 or less. You can only match them at center and full...

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    My friend Tony used some of that clear corner guard for wallpapered walls and took some of the bend out of it and glued it to the inside of the fuselage sticking through the hole as a lip.

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

    I'm getting pretty close on the upgrades to the big Sukhoi. Last night I pretty much finished the new program in the transmitter and tested some parts of it. The throttle, kill switches, rudder and the smoke mix are all done other than fine tuning the smoke mix at the field. I couldn't make...

    Show Me the Biplanes!!!!

    The Samson three view I posted a few days ago also had a PDF file with it. I found out today that the PDF was in Vector format, so I was able to import it into Turbocad as a fully modifiable drawing. Many PDF's are in Raster format and don't import as a clean workable file. I have no way to...

    The double sided Velcro is nice, but I can never get the tightness just like I want it without redoing it several times. I still use a lot of it though. Especially on things that I rarely take out.

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

    Buying battery straps can suck because people seem to measure them differently, and some I don't think measure them at all. I bought some red ones that were supposed to be 200mm that measured almost 300mm. I bought some from Buddy RC that were perfect for my the LiPo's in my new Extra. They had...

    Chasing that kind of thing can be very frustrating. I hope you find the cause.

    Clarence's shop was really small, but had tons of stuff. It was jambed in every nook and cranny. He raced Quickie 500 and what the St. Louis guys called "Run Whatcha Brung". He also raced in their annual Warbird race which he won several times. He could make anything fast. Every Sunday at the...
