    DA-85 prop

    I don't know if any of you actually work on these motors or not... but if you do... I have 2 DA85 motors that I'll ship to you for $200.  Both have been in a crash. One of them might be fine, but I'd want to send it back to DA before I started it again.  The other one (I took the head off) looks...

    Measuring throws on control surfaces

    I have an angle gauge that I picked up from the hardware store.. it's about six inches square, with a round dial in the middle of it to indicate the  angle of the surface that the gauge is sitting on.  On a flat horizontal surface, it measures zero, and on a vertical surface, it's 90.  I wish...

    Oh man... for a minute, I thought that was your new one.  Glad it wasn't!

    2015 Joe Nall... What does GSN need to do to take over the world?!

    Or, find a (good, cheap) vinyl guy to crank out some nice GSN stickers for everyone's plane.  Shouldn't be too expensive for a couple hundred of them... sell them at cost and let everyone dress up their planes

    2-stroke oil,what works,what doesn't

    I'm going to start a new website with just a few simple rules 1.  No "best oil, radio, airplane, servo, etc.." threads 2.  A little sarcasm is healthy... just don't cross that line. 3. When in doubt... refer to #1.   Anyone know anything about starting up a site?

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I'm with you, Patroller. Doing anything below 20 feet, other than landing, usually means I'm going to be building another plane soon... I'm actually doing that now after a mistake a few weeks ago.

    3D MX2 or G202

    Did you decide on a wing yet?   I bought an un-built CARF MX-2 a week or so ago, along with a 3W 157 CS Twin Spark.  Starting to fit the motor last night, I realized why the earlier owner gave up.  The carb on the 157 hangs down so far that it hits the bottom of the cowl. So, I had to...

    Extreme Flight Owners

    I just recently swapped to daily wear lenses at the recommendation of my eye doctor. They are very thin and comfortable, but also much more apt to slide out of place. I never had problems like this with the extended wear lenses, but I did have a problem with leaving them in for way too long.

    Throttle Linkage Geometry

    yeah... that's what happened to my Extra last week! Sure sounds better than "I F'ed up".

    Makes sense... thanks!

    Extreme Flight Owners

    Yea, that was a tough one. It wasn't the first airplane crash, and it unfortunately probably won't be the last one, but every one hurts.

    3D MX2 or G202

    I had a CARF MX-2 several years ago... probably my favorite plane ever. So much that last week, I saw a used one and bought it. I know CARF used the old Giles fuse and fitted Extra wings, they added fillets, etc.. but it was their Extra wing design. If you flying style is slower, 3-D...

    Extreme Flight Owners

    Well... there's one less Extreme Flight owner in the world this week... but I'm sure dozens will fall in behind to replace me. I had my original 91" Extra since the first batch shipped in...loved it. I got my thumbs turned around in a rolling circle about a month ago, and paid the...

    Hey... when did they change the description for noobs to "15cc gasser"... I guess they got tired of useless posts from those annoying glow fuel guys!

    Throttle Linkage Geometry

    The example on the far right... with the throttle at 53 degrees (closed) and the servo at zero (pointing straight at the throttle arm). would have the least throttle movement at the beginning of the servo movement.
