    15cc EF 60" Edge 540T-EXP Gasser

    Parts finally came in to space muffler out enough for the throttle servo to work. Not ideal as the spacer had a little smaller port size than the engine. I will see if it runs hopefully tomorrow.

    Redwing 50cc slick 540 build log

    Got some flights in on mine yesterday. Landing gear fix held up. CG is still off even after putting on the supplied CF spinner. Have to move the batts back by the RX. I see now why you made a tray back there. It will be tight. Still working on the motor. Even though the new ignition start...

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Tell me it is the red white blue one. I wish EF would make something with that scheme.

    I know with a DLE-55 that a Falcon 23x9 is a wonderful prop. Xoar 23x8 wood has also been good to me and another pilot up here. Since the DLE is essentially a copy of the DA, I would expect the same props to work. In the Mej world, 23x8 evo is the prop to beat.

    We really only have a "serious" noise issue at one club and several others that are freaked out about the fallout from that club and the few of us that fly large gassers. If we at least show some interest in quieting the plane, that seems to go a long way to placating them. Running straights is...

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    One "good" thing that might come of this is that there will be another industry to support the costs of the ATS-B system and this might drive down costs for the General Aviation avionics which are ridiculous. If anyone thinks owning a RC jet, or a boat is expensive, try owning a airplane...

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    The FAA usually designates Class E airspace to the ground within 5 miles of the airport so that airplanes have to conform with certain flying rules to transit the airspace. It has been a very long time since I had to teach airspace and my world consists of ATC controlled Class B, C, and A...

    3DHS 70" Velox

    I got to fly my 26cc gas one briefly today. Muffler came loose, but it kept on running. We thought it was just running rich. This has got to be the easiest landing airplane I own outside of bigfoot. It is just so stable in slow flight.

    Redwing 50cc slick 540 build log

    Fixed it just in time to hit the end of the allowed gasser time at my silly club. I did weight it. just under 16 pounds with the GT60 and the tru turn spinner, no fuel. It was clearly nose heavy, so I will be using the stock spinner next time out. The OS is a heavy motor, so I can see how a...

    Plate already fixed, moving servos to the other position.

    First flight. Aileron hatch failed. Tore up landing gear plate. Not good.

    I was just playing with the bats. I will probably strap them forward and see how it flies. It seems to balance on the tube without wings with them by the RX.

    Nope. Do that when I get it assembled. My fish scale is in the radio box. That spinner is not helping. I have a few other options as I know they are around 5 ounces. Stock one needs to be drilled.

    Redwing 50cc slick 540 build log

    Some end of the build Picts of mine. Maiden tomorrow I hope. Got orange tech flex for the build. Tru turn 4". Slightly smaller would have been better. "Stock" one was too small. GT60 cut out was just to get the cowl on with the stinger. Made it the same on each side to get to the stupid...

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    Jtec makes kits in this size. They are just as expensive as a ARF though.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    As far as new stuff goes, if it does not arrive from a container shipped before china new year, it will not be here for our full flying season. Waiting for this and the new AJ lasers for my electric setups this season. Just have to keep flying gas.

    Missed the early bus so I won't get home in time to join Daren. Gorgeous day here in New England for once. Should be a good little event.

    Have not heard a peep on when the next shipment arrives. EF seems to be keeping that info close to the chest.

    Just flew over the container port in Savannah. I wonder when the MXSs will be in one.

    Da 140

    You can buy a similar engine today. $1399. I talked to the owner of this company and he was pretty clear that this is NOT a 3D motor nor would a DA version. For 3D DA told me to get a 150 over a 200. Too much stress on the crank I suppose...
