    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I cut and installed the new stab tubes tonight. They weight about half what the aluminum ones did. I also swapped props from a Falcon to a Mejzlik of the same size that weighs about an ounce more. I did the math on the distance from the CG to the stab and CG to the front of the firewall and...

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    I think I can translate here. I think he's asking about the fabric in the center of this picture.

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

    I look at it this way, why would a guy change to another brand equipment when what he is already using works awesome for him. In my eyes there is nothing wrong with being a fanboy. I like my DA's, my JR transmitter and Spektrum receivers because they work great for me. Other brands work great...

    Tanner, are you running cans on your DA120 with the 28 x 9 1/2?

    Sport The Behemoth Yak gets a Behemoth Brother/129" Pilot Yak (2)

    Rob I hate to drag the thread for your Beautifully Bodacious Behemoth Brother of your original Breathtaking Beastie, off subject, but since the subject of the batteries your running came up, do you feel that the Li-Ion's give you enough current output for a High Voltage setup. They say the that...

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    The carbon fiber tube I've been waiting for showed up today, so now I can cut some new stab tubes and take a little bit off this fat girls butt. ;)

    If I could fly and video at the same time I would. I don't have a Mobius to stick on my hat like @Balsa dust

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    I just got back and got everything put away after a very successful maiden day. We had a big storm roll through last night so it was quite a bit cooler this morning, and somewhat overcast early on. I got to the field about 9 and assembled the airplane and then had two friends do a sanity check...

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    It's done and ready to go and tomorrow is the day. I may melt while I'm there, but I'm hoping to get a few flights in before it gets unbearable. It was still 103 at 6:10 tonight and they say it made 108 across the river in St. Louis. Tomorrow it's only supposed to be 97, I may need a...

    Sport The Behemoth Yak gets a Behemoth Brother/129" Pilot Yak (2)

    I understand exactly why you stick with what you know. I've never been big on change for change sake. My first 50cc airplane had 2 Duralite 2500 A123's for the receiver and 1 Duralite 2300 LiIon on the ignition because a friend gave them to me with like 4 flights on them, and I've run that...

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    Last night finished up a couple of small things and then put the airplane back on the balancer for a final sanity check. Getting it back on the EZ-Balancer in a small enclosed space by myself without breaking things was no small task, but it worked out fine, though I did somehow work up a good...

    Yeah if we could get rid of Cook County and about half of my County, St. Clair, this wouldn't be a bad state.

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    My Pilot 30% Edge has a can and the batteries are behind the CG. My Carf Extra with a can had everything possible mounted to the engine dome to get it to balance and so does my buddies Carf Extra.

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    It's supposed to be a lovely 105 degrees here today.:confused: I always suspected Illinois was really hell. On a better note, last night I made the battery extensions and got them installed. That gets me down to balancing the prop, putting the airplane back on the balancer to check the final...

    Hostetler Cessna 336 Skymaster

    It's worth it in the long run. Plus if you ever do it again it will go much quicker since you know what shows, so you can get the surface better before you glass
