    Censorship

    I just ordered a graphic set for a Laser from B&E. In the notes I asked about a decal for GSN. If they can get me one, it will go on that plane.

    glow pilot

    It probably would not have happened had I not been in such a hurry. I was using the plane with a buddy box on public day. I hooked up to the wrong side of the fuel tubing and actually pumped fuel through the carb and into the engine. I was in to much of a hurry to even laugh about it. Just fix...

    glow pilot

    Yea, but I almost never flood my gas engines. Although there is the time I kept trying to start it with the choke on. LOL!

    So where is everyone from? Countries? States?

    I currently call home Boise and it is listed in my profile. The last couple weeks I have been away from home. I am currently in Jackson Wyoming. I have a great view of the Teton mountains here. Unfortunately there is no flying field here locally. I did bring my 60" laser to fly, but in hindsight...

    glow pilot

    It's not the smell of glow fuel that's annoying. It's the taste when inevitably get some in your mouth futzing around with the stuff. Got is good myself a few weeks ago after I pulled the glow plug on a flooded engine and hit it with my starter.

    Topics and a build thread for the new guys

    I never did understand why some got on that soapbox. I just read the manual and followed it. Oh, and by the way I use Redline at 40.3542 to 1, and anyone who says otherwise is just plane ignorent (misspellings intended for the dense).

    Topics and a build thread for the new guys

    For me the Giant Scale list was: 1 Gas engine starting and tuning. 2 Ignition battery and cutoff systems 3 Battery power systems. Amperage limitations of standard servo connectors.

    10 Days - 600 Members!!!

    Reminds me of a star wars quote: The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.

    Helis!

    That pic of the Goblin 500 in an inverted hover just above the grass is simply awesome. I have been contemplating that hell myself. I have only been flying them for about a year and my largest right now is the MCP BL. I can fly that around pretty well in sport mode and easily put it into an...

    Good by FG, Hello GS !

    Thanks, It is very cool to see this site grow so fast. It is also very interesting to see almost everyone from over there using the same handle here.

    Shizznit Happened

    Ouch, sorry about your hand. I feel for you. I lost concentration back in January this year while starting my EF 78 Extra. That plane has a VVRC 40 twin engine in it. I forgot to restrain it like I usually do. It jumped forward and bit my right hand. The force of the prop actually broke the arm...

    Stupid / Dangerous / Crazy / Wreckless.

    That is nuts. I guess it's somewhat obvious that was not in the US with the FAA watching.

    Servo Horn 'extensions' - is this good enough?

    I am a very big fan of SWB servo arms. Very simple, light and extremely stout. I doubt you will find a more secure connection for you servo.

    Old time Fav Slime Plane!

    I just went from the EF 78 to the EF 104 myself this spring. I still like flying the 78, but the 104 is the bomb!

    Moving to High Voltage

    On my 78" Extra I am using two 2600mah thunder power LIPO's. On my 104" Extra I am using two 3600mah thunder power LIPOS's. Both planes are relatively new so I purchased HV servos to start. I also am using Spectrum Powersafe receivers in both planes. I am very impressed with this...

    Does a tuned pipe reduce noise?

    Yea! I think I am convinced of that right now. Funny thing is I remember asking about it before ordering the carbon Vess. I remember a few people with high praise of the prop with little mention of the noise. I think I am going to try the Mej 29 x10S. I am not looking for a speed setup. Stable...

    Who's got a Jeep?

    I have had a few Jeeps over the years. 70's CJ5 with the V8 engine. Cool except the motor leaked like a sieve. 94 Cherokee. Gave to my son who drove it until some tard killed it driving like an idiot in the snow. 2001 Wranger. My other son still drives it. 2010 Rubicon 4 dr...

    Premium Lamp Oil @ 50:1

    I do not use oil in my engines. I heard it pollutes the environment.
