    Best RC Simulator??

    I can pretty much guess that he is trying to enforce some kind of non-compete clause. I guess it does not matter that the courts have pretty much universally held they are unenforceable once the original employer terminates someone. He will bully through attorneys. Where I live there are...

    Best RC Simulator??

    I have permanently put my plan to upgrade RF on hold. I hate bullies. One approach to his threats would be to make it quite public. That is post the details for all to read. I would bet it would quickly turn into him against the RC world.

    Welcome to Tail Dragger Rc's support forum!

    Yep, I have seen those on your site before. My though was more along the lines of the servo crimp end already done one both ends and enough length on both sections of wire that the flange could be placed anywhere. All the purchaser would have to do is the soldering to the MPX connectors based on...

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    Thats funny, kind of like you put it in the washing machine on hot and it just shrank.

    Welcome to Tail Dragger Rc's support forum!

    I really like the flange mount. In my case my solution was limited by the length of the harness from the Flange to the Rx. I could not place it where I originally wanted to closer to the opening to the wings. It worked out pretty good though. I think a version with the MPX connector...

    Welcome to Tail Dragger Rc's support forum!

    Here is how I made a plate for the wing harness on my EF 104" Extra. I thought this thread needed some content. My radio tray is light plywood outlined in 1/4" balsa stock, It was covered in some spare mono coat I had laying around. 10807=4409-D2B_5599.jpg 10807=4410-D2B_5600.jpg

    glow pilot

    I guess I never did learn to like the smell let alone love it. I was more than happy to switch to gas last year. Maybe it was the association to dead sticks, constant tuning issues, etc.

    It feels like cheating to post serially. Just like in real life you have to earn your gas status. :devil:

    Trailers... I wish I had done this.

    I wish I would get off my but and actually work on my trailer.

    This really gives the hobby a bad name and some clubs are alot like this

    In contrast to the other story, a few months ago there was another club member trying to get a maiden flight on a new gasser. He was up next in line to fly and in front of me but was struggling with the plane/engine for some reason. I told him that as soon as I heard his engine running, I would...

    This really gives the hobby a bad name and some clubs are alot like this

    I was at one of my local fields earlier this summer and did the same thing. I specifically asked one guy with a cub if he wanted to go up. He said no, and then proceeded to complain behind my back to the club president that I was hogging the field. I was kind of pissed at the time for obvious...

    I thought a glow plane was the result of charging LIPOS in your plane.

    Why I hate foamies....

    Many years ago my mom accidently mixed up the bottle of super glue (CA) with a bottle of eye drops. Scared the absolute crap out of her and my dad. We were told it had been done by others by the ER. Thankfully, There was no damage to the eye, but to this day, I cringe at the idea.

    Moving up to 100cc questions

    I think some of this depends on your transmitter. I have a Spectrum DX18 that allows the use of a Powersafe rx that eliminates the need for a Wolverine switch. I am using a Tech Aero IBEC as well without issues. The tuned pipe over the canister definitely make the plane more of a hot rod. That...

    what size carbon prop

    I run the 21x8 mej on the VVRC 40. I like it very much for slow and medium speed aerobatics.

    Twisted hobbys

    I have 3 twisted hobbies kits. I started with the crack yak. then added a turbo beaver, and once i had more glue than foam on my yak I ordered the new MXS. I love these planes and if anyone is interested in learning 3D or just wants a plane to learn simple aerobatics and the rudder absolutely...

    Extreme Flight Owners

    I don't have any pics or videos to post. Mostly because young and extremely talented people such as yourself set a bar that I can only dream of achieving. I do love my Extreme Flight planes though. I have 4 of them. Well actually I am down to 3-1/2 planes. I smacked my Laser into my jeep...

    Knife edge spin.

    I have been able to get all of my EF planes to do them albeit inconsistently, but have not had much success on my twisted hobbies kits until the last week. I stated to use just a bit more rudder to get it on the side. The EF planes just seem to fall into more naturally. I am slowly getting...
