    Ok Snoop......I know what the Valach 140 will be hauling around one day but what about your Gaui 50? Both engines are gorgeous.

    Help! Making landing gear

    Maybe @acerc will let us know. I may or may not get one. Depends on how well I can straighten back the right side of the Cub gear :concern:. Besides....Already blew my allowance trying to get that cool saw ;).

    Xpress builds a 115 AJ Laser - PICTURE HEAVY!

    Found one on ebay but the dude wants too much for it IMO and too much for shipping. I was able to order one through a local tool supplier (Tanger mall "Direct tools") who just happened to have one but I found out about it through Fastenal who referred me to them. Fastenal said they no longer...

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    Overall the same. Will lose the additional weight (custom battery tray) that is over the engine now. Batteries will get strapped back to the sides of the motor box. The 72 is about 3/4 pound heavier than the 50.

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    Soon to be back at it with the Alien Extra. Going to add 22cc of weight up front and turn a 24x9 carbon prop. The DL50 flies it extremely well but I can't help imagine the DJ72 will make it fly AWESOME :D. This is getting that and this

    Masking tape and card stock have always worked for me getting holes correctly aligned on or in fuses and cowlings.

    This year has not yielded that many good days for flying :(. Been extremely windy and rain is coming this weekend. And the "Spring Cleaning" on the house has kept me busy.

    NGH Four Cycle Engines.

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    Seems like a 38x14 would keep you under 6K. Does the brushless motor act like an alternator as well or is it used for starting or both? That seems like a pretty big prop.

    I never did get a 6S graphene because the two planes (6S EF MXSR and 6Sx2 Pilot Extra) ended up in plastic bags :( lol. Have been wanting to try a 3S 2200 for my QQ300 but I have great success with the two 3S 65C-130C peak 2250 Nanotech's. I can't find a graphene in the same mah and C rating...
