    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    Time is rapidly approaching to finally begin my all time favorite of favorites, WWII aircraft. When I first began in this hobby, I was like oh so many others. We all wanted a Mustang. Why? I think it is because of the nostalgia. Maybe it is the romance of one of the meanest and all out deadliest...

    The he** you say? Seriously. This, I did not know. Surprising that with the quality of some o.t.r. drivers skills, these trailers don't just crumble. Ugh!

    Definitely the radio when it arrives this week. I really expect to see it Wednesday or Thursday. As for the trailer, probably not until spring. My last trailer was an extended height 6x12 single axle. The new one I've not decided yet. I really don't see the need for a two axle. But may have to...

    Moki 250cc 40% Sukhoi SU-31

    It's difficult to really select one over the other. But if the Valach radials run anything like the boxers, it would be a real treat. Being able to see the big three four stroke builders motors first hand, it's hard to pick one over the other. Kolm makes one serious bad ass motor. They really...

    So I "DID" have a new trailer. But I soon found it was way too small for my rapidly growing fleet of "Behemoth" planes. I sold it in leu of getting a bigger trailer. I just honestly have been so busy I have not gotten around to ordering one. I want my next one to be like my last one. Special...

    So the wind kicked up, then it would die down. Then up! Aaaand down. Lol. I think we must have a front coming in. No matter, the beasty 1 fity 7 yanked that big ole 330 around like it wasn't even there. Which really surprises me. I weighed it complete the other night. With 50 ounces of 92 octane...

    We'll see how they stack up and compare when they have as many years and cycles on them as the lithium ions that were in the 330. Remember, they came from Baby. Those batteries are 6 years old. And according to my records from when they were first installed brand new, there has been no deviation...

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

    I had told all you gents I would keep you all posted on the new 8000 mah packs now in the Behemoth 330. In preparation of going flying tomorrow, I decided I would take the big 330 out again. I needed to put the first re-charge on the big 8000 mah 2s lipos. Wow, I am not sure I know what to make...

    Soooo.....this means the 120cc sized motor is held in place with red locktite? Personally I think it is lame to expect a 400'ish ounce servo to stay put with...um, tape? Really?

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    What a really neat trick. I will have to remember that as it just may come in handy.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Well that would probably be my luck. At least it is not in the hands of those damn "U"nited "P"arcel "S"mashers. Or even worse yet, the "I left it in the neighbors yard on his sprinkler head" United States Postal Service. Ugh... LOL

    I stumbled across this video tonight. I was looking for scale details and wow did I find them. I guess I am trying to get all wound up for that behemoth Stang. The best airplane...ever!

    Not a slow boat from China. An extreeeeeeeemly slow FedEx truck from California. Ugh...

    Moki 250cc 40% Sukhoi SU-31

    There is something just so sexy about a Radial. I really can't pick a Moki over the Valach. They both sound so bad ass. Yeah, now you tell me this. After I am gearing up for the big Mustang. But that is ok really. Cuz I have a devious little plan in mind that I have been toying with for some...
