    IMAC PAU Extra Build 105" assembly

    I don't know if you have Sunoco fuels nearby? Their "optima" fuel under race fuels is another excellent choice and is what I use. Works great, no alcohol, and most importantly - when it evaporates, so does the smell.

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

    FWIW, I found the Falcon 20x9 carbon to work best on this engine. Everything else I have tried (Valley view and Xoar - 20x8-21x8 (beech and laminated) really unload a lot in the air without any better grunt. That's on a 78" EF extra.

    Planning to use Dubro flat hinges on this one. Typically use Robarts, but want to try something new.

    Aluminum wing tube. Bending - might need a bigger diameter? What kind of hinges are you planning on using?

    Wings are done (sans ailerons). Pic is of the right wing. Weighed some things up at this point: Wings and wing tube (sans ailerons) - 21.02 oz Fuse - 29.85 Tail pieces - 5.01 Engine complete - 32.58 Total = 88.46 oz or 5.5 pounds. Not too bad at this point. Still need to make some landing gear...

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Very clean! Cool idea to keep the fuel dot inside since you plan to pull the hatch off anyway. Is the new style fortitude tank have an aluminum cap or is it still plastic?

    3D MOJO 65 w/20cc Build

    Ha ha, yeah, word in my book. I have the vv20 and the 40. 20 has yet to be run. Been sitting in a box for a couple of years. Looking forward to getting it finished. Wings almost done now. Just have to add the rib caps on the bottom and then finish of the ailerons.
