    Dual BuildNew PAU 35cc Edge and 35cc Extra

    Nice! They don't have the manuals up yet so I haven't been able to look at them.

    Dual BuildNew PAU 35cc Edge and 35cc Extra

    I saw that they were using mini servos on the elevators and that's a cool idea. The only thing I don't like about it is that I can't use my Hitec 5945's I have laying around!

    Run It or Send it to DA?

    So another club member is having trouble with his DA 60. He actually had 3 of these motors and sold 2 because of midrange issues. I'm going to replace the diaphragm spring in his and we're going to see what happens to try an duplicate the results. It'll be a few months before we have any...

    Run It or Send it to DA?

    I didn't try the stretched spring and just put in the new one.

    IMAC Build: Dalton Extra 300

    Well Happy New Year to everyone and I hope 2016 is better than 2015. I got some work done on the Dalton today. First I had to clear off my workbench though. I was working on trimming down the sheeting on vertical fin so that I can do leading and trailing edges. I noticed part of the sheeting...

    Run It or Send it to DA?

    Ok, I can't decide what I need to do with my DA 60. I had problems with it burbling in the low and mid-range that I couldn't tune out. I changed out the diaphragm and other gaskets, put a nipple on the diaphragm breathing hole to run a line into the fuse, and changed the timing. There wasn't...

    FAA Announces their rules for radio controlled aircraft

    On point and to add to that, only 5 out of every 1000 Americans are members of the AMA. We are too few to fight this and doing so will only bring more regulation on us. So the way to deal with this is to pay the $5, put the number on your planes, continue flying as you did before, and when...

    FAA Announces their rules for radio controlled aircraft

    Well, I'm not saying we should comply with whatever they come up with but work with the authorities and make our opposition to ideas that don't make any sense in a firm but respectful manner. If Johnny Law comes to the field, I will spend all afternoon showing them our hobby instead of flying...

    FAA Announces their rules for radio controlled aircraft

    Times have changed and really it has a lot to do with the progression of technology. If 3 axis stabilization and the ability to control multiple motors with enough stability to fly around never occurred, we probably wouldn't be in this situation. It's unfortunate but I am with you and let's...

    Build: EF 88" Edge 540T

    So I ordered my replacement canopy for the EF Edge 540. It's a $50 part (not too bad) but shipping was just shy of $30... I think with the way shipping charges are going, they are more likely to drive me from the hobby than the FAA!

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    Interesting... Maybe I'll have to try changing the timing on my 60. I made a slight change because of the burbling issue and I found a thread where it went away by fully retarding the timing. Or maybe I'll just send it in and let them look at it...

    One thing, be sure to put (modelaircraft.org) after "AMA" when posting on news sites because otherwise people may be wondering what the American Medical Association or whatever it is has to do with drones.

    I am looking for suggestions on a work-bench

    My bench back in 2010. It's still straight even after 1 move.

    I am looking for suggestions on a work-bench

    I'm going to have to bookmark that in case I ever need one. Right now I have a solid core door mounted on top of a prefab bench that was strong but not straight enough. It works and when I need to replace the top, I just go buy a new door. I reinforced it with some angle aluminum. I will...

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    In my opinion, the 4 cylinders have a certain cool factor that makes me want one. On the opposite side, it's another carb to tune and you have to be diligent about getting enough cooling air to the rear cylinders. People are successfully doing it but I'd rather deal with one carb and doing the...

    IMAC Build: Dalton Extra 300

    Yeah, I'm sure we will like Manhattan and I've been there a few times. I almost moved to Manhattan in 2007 to do my Ph.D. Plus my wife and I like to kayak and with Tuttle Creek Reservoir there, we should be able to go on a regular basis.

    IMAC Build: Dalton Extra 300

    No telling. I've had the kit since 2009 since I should be able to get it done in 2 years while in graduate school, right? I'm hoping to finish it by next September or to at least get it to the ARF stage. The company I work for is probably going to be moving me to Manhattan, KS. Problem #1 is...
