    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Well, hoping to get to a heli fly in this Sat after I pick up my mail from the house on Friday. Getting tired of flying helis for the time being. Damn..... Still have 4 3S packs charged up for my 180 heli.

    spinner or no spinner for better cooling?

    Try to get the engine cylinders closer to the front of the cowl. Its all an experiment. My Yak 55M had the engine set back a little, much like yours. When I put the new cowl on the airplane, it didn't come with a dummy engine, like when it was new. Just decided I was gonna pack as much air...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Think I'm actually starting to miss driving to the field to fly with my GS buddies at Columbus Big Birds. A couple of them have offered to come pick me and my gear up and have a fun ass day at the field. I'm planning on a day out there with those guys over Memorial Day weekend!!

    ZDZ USA Is Bringing ZDZ Brand Back to the US! Whoo Hoo!

    I would tend to trust those 2 guys, as they put in the stick time to get these engines to rock! I have the spreadsheets printed out that Trevor sent me when I was deciding on pipes for my EME120 powered 108" Extra SC from OMP. Stock DA 100 header length with Wrong Way RC tuned pipes with a...

    Solo at Joe Nall

    For me, I like hearing where each airplane is at. It is never Extra, Edge, Yak etc...... Always "Airplane" left side inbound, airplane high center descending, airplanes low center. You smell what I'm stepping in?? Only a few folks I trust to spot for me. GreenE is one, Kitman is my primary...

    ZDZ USA Is Bringing ZDZ Brand Back to the US! Whoo Hoo!

    A 180 would be ridicules!! Mine is a monster with a hybrid 157/170 3W. I think I found the right prop for it. The Falcon 30x13 CF. Need to get the fiber glass parts repainted.

    How long to let an engine warm up?

    All my engines, I burp the throttle on the ground and NEVER in the air. I never actually timed how long I warm up on the ground, but probably by the time I taxi out into take off position, it is closing in on 3 minutes. Depending on my flight line location and wind direction.

    Actual 100cc 3d planes?

    The PAU arf of Terrys come in under 26# with the DLE 120. I plan on getting one and putting a ZDZ 112 in it. Your DA 100 will fly this airplane just fine! :) Its only a 105" wing. My 35% Carden is 104" wing and heavier by 3.5# and flys on a 3W 106. 108" wing airframes will fly fine on...

    How would you make a canopy mold?

    I used a luan base, some white beaded foam and lots of bondo. I used a jitter bug sander for the initial shape and then some 180 grit paper, all in the foam. Then once I got my desired shape, I laid 3 layers of 8oz glass cloth down with finishing resin. Not being too careful with how much I...

    ZDZ USA Is Bringing ZDZ Brand Back to the US! Whoo Hoo!

    And fortunately enough, if anyone follows ZDZ on Facebook, they opened up a small giveaway in Feb, I think for a free ZDZ engine. I was the lucky winner from ZDZ. Low and behold, I chose the 112 as an engine that I would want. Im crossing my fingers and I still get the engine, atleast I will...

    3W 106 strange behavior

    There are times, on the ground, that my 120 will not transition. Its like it is stuck on idle. I may do that when I get back home in a week or 2. When are you gonna mess around with your 106 again?

    Sleepy's AW 260 GSN plane. When your flying skills are rusty, make sure your plane looks GOOD!

    Dont let Snap fly it, without movi g the batteries back to the tailwheel axle. Otherwise, he will say it is too nose heavy.
