    That is actually a really slick idea if you are not running cans/pipes :) @49dimes!

    Redrawing district boundaries

    That would be awesome! My drives range from 3 1/2 to 7 hours. I try to get out early Friday morning so I can get some practice in Friday evening and then as soon as we are done on Sunday, I am beating feet to get home at a somewhat decent time. I think we will have one or two contests closer to...

    Soloshot anybody? Anyone, anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

    I think if there were enough people interested in recording their flights and they voiced that to the company, they may try utilizing some faster servos and also a faster uplink between the aircraft and the device so it can keep up with the plane. I like the theory of the device, but am glad I...

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    I have been using these for a LONG time :) Gives me a warm fuzzy knowing that my servos are secure!

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

    I got the servos, Savox 1283sg's installed in the 330LX wings and horizontals. Soldered the mpx connectors on the wings. Made the extensions for the elevators and started making the extensions for the rudder servos. I say started, because I may still go with a pull/pull setup. The plane is...

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    Well @Joe Hunt I don't know whether to thank you or curse you :) Your video has probably resolved an issue I have had trying to get the IM-14 to work on my 42% Edge that I was never able to figure out, until now. I like math, but never really dug into geometry much, mainly an algebra guy, so it...

    Will you have enough back pressure for the engine to run properly? I don't how much is enough, but I do know they have to have some :)

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    This is interesting. I have never heard of using different holes on different servos in a multi servo wing panel. I have always used the same hinge points on all connections and have never had an issue. Enlighten me @49dimes :) Maybe I will run into a situation where this will help solve an...

    Wind Correction Recommendations

    Practice helps, but trust me, go to a contest! It will help you understand how everything flows and you will meet people that will be more than willing to help you get on the right track. My first contest was early this year and @BikeRacer was at the contest and was a tremendous help along with...

    Maiden Jet Crash

    Roll on power and go around, but I wasn't there so maybe there was some reason that he couldn't go around. I hate seeing that :(

    @Xpress good to see you got it back down in one piece. Could have been a lot worse.

    Go to the shop! That is what I do and then 3 hours later ask myself why I did that because it is now 11 or 12 and 6 comes real fast :)
