    IMAC Build: Dalton Extra 300

    I have the tunnel where I can get it in and out and I got the front trimmed. There's a little extra, but not too much and it will be sanded down once I have the tunnel ready to paint. I also started working on the cross bracing.

    And the final progress from yesterday. I did a dry fit and I'm going to have to make a few adjustments but nothing too big.

    The second side has been glued on and the triangle stock to reinforce the back has been cut to size and glued in.

    I finally started working on the Dalton again last night. I wasn't in the mood to do a lot of sanding and I really wanted to work on the pipe tunnel. I started by edge gluing to 2 sheets of 4"X48"X1/16" balsa together. After making many measurements, I came up with what I think the dimensions...

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    I break out a small thin tipped sharpie, a flexible metal ruler, and a measuring tape like those used for sewing and home craft projects. And of course I have some RapidTac so if I need to re-position I can. What do you use Joe?

    Build: EF 88" Edge 540T

    I ordered some graphics over the weekend and they arrived today. Nothing too fancy. On the 'Desert Aircraft' I had to cut off part of the lettering for my needle access hole. I got the idea for the registration graphic from @Tseres.

    IMAC Build: Dalton Extra 300

    It wasn't a full rebuild but more of a end-of-year maintenance rebuild. I'm getting ready to post it for sale and I want someone to get solid machine and not something that needs a bunch of parts.

    3D SWB Wire Tensioner

    On my Edge 540, I have the Wire Tensioner's from SWB for the pull-pull cable. I noticed that my cables (Don's Hobby Shop coated Kevlar) have some slack in them. It's not enough that I can move the rudder too far but has anyone ever noticed the cables developing slack? I need to check some...

    Had to get some of the annoying things out of the way. I got my TREX 600N rebuild done so now it's time to get back to the Dalton.

    Build: EF 88" Edge 540T

    I've been working on the new canopy. I glued in the canopy floor over the weekend so that I can get some good glue beads to secure it. Last night I glued in the dash. I would've glued in the pilot but accidentally knocked it off of a shelf a little while ago and cracked it pretty good. I...

    I've had success with the gaskets but RTV works pretty good too. In the past, I've had the best luck with Hondabond over the other RTV's.

    I have a very small amount. It's so little that it's hardly noticeable.

    Dual BuildNew PAU 35cc Edge and 35cc Extra

    The main reason I'm investing in HV servos now is to get the torque advantage on the 40%er I'm building. It has its benefits in reducing the number of servos needed for a plane like that or technically making your setup more simple by removing the voltage regulator (1 less thing to fail)...

    I think Leseberg in a thumber too. Personally, I want to try it and see if it improves my precision flying not that I compete anymore.

    Well, proof that the gov't isn't weighing too much on my spirits. I got a gift certificate to EspritModel.com for Christmas so I ordered another MKS HV777 and a neck strap. I combined that with 11% off and spent a whopping $4.13 out of pocket. Granted the gift certificate was essentially $100 in...
