    Finished glueing vertical fin. Next to begin work on fitting the turtle deck.

    IMAC JTEC 2.7m Extra 300CS

    So I have been agonizing over how to get the vertical fin set properly in place. Too many degrees of freedom. Finally hatched a plan. I attached scrap piece of 1/4" balsa to the screws for the tail wheel. That provided a point for a centerline location at the rear of the fuse. I also glued two...

    Assembly: Aeroworks QB 150cc Yak 55M

    Not sure the capacitors are necessary with today's powersafe receivers, assuming you will be running one? I can definitely see the advantage to using this device if one had a problem maintaining a low voltage drop to the receiver buss in instantaneous peak loads. Curious to hear other opinions.

    IMAC JTEC 2.7m Extra 300CS

    Here is a photo with the canopy and turtle deck sitting on the fuse. Wanted to see how it is coming along. The current step I am working on now is mounting the vertical fin. I keep staring at it and keep walking away...for the last few weeks now. LOL.

    IMAC JTEC 2.7m Extra 300CS

    It has been a busy, busy, busy summer. Have made a bit of progress in small bites over the last few months. Will try to get caught up here. The landing gear mounts are installed. Center bottom longeron installed. Added the LG formers and sheeted the bottom of the fuse. Glued on stab root ribs...

    Plane collection at SFO

    As a follow up to that article, the new Icon Aircraft A5 sport aircraft will soon be manufactured (or at least assembled) in a facility that is currently under construction right next to the Nut Tree airport in Vacaville. A stone's throw from my office. They are really cool aircraft.

    DA-170 Engine Relation to Mejzlik32x10L Prop

    The propeller rotational speed (revolutions per minute,rpm) and the engine speed are the same (assuming the propeller is securely fixed to the shaft). Hope that answers the question?

    Generators?

    You need one of these! A Tiny Tiger. Weighs next to nothing, two-stroke (so you've got fuel available). Maybe a little light on power (300 watts +-) though.... :dancing-chicken:

    IMAC Carden Pro 124 Build, My Dream Plane

    Will do. If I go the route of cap screws, will probably machine off the threads where it protrudes. Good ideas! Thanks!

    IMAC Carden Pro 124 Build, My Dream Plane

    Love the drill jig! Need to make one myself, thanks for the great idea. What did you use for the pins on the ends to engage with the outside of the LE and TE?

    A joke. Yelling "what did you say?", because I couldn't hear you due to all those years of not being a sissy and not wearing earplugs. Lol.
