    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    The video finally finished uploading. Not the best, but it is better than nothing :) The engine was running REALLY rich, so we brought it down and leaned it out a bit. It is really strange because on the ground, it was smooth as could be, but the instant it got in the air it went rich. I have...

    3DHS 103" Extra 330SC Re-Build Log

    Yes I am Rob! I didn't want to stop flying it. By the third flight I was greasing the landings the same way I do with the big Edge :)

    3DHS 103" Extra 330SC Re-Build Log

    Here is a link to the video. It is kind of random and the engine is REALLY rich, didn't sound that way on the ground, so we landed it after a bit and leaned out the top end, but my daughter decided that it wasn't in her best interest to run the video camera again.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I went out tonight and maidened my rebuilt 3DHS 103" Extra 330SC tonight also!. It was an awesome flight. Only 2 clicks of elevator and it was hands free flying straight and level :) Trying to get the video my daughter took to upload, but I do have some pictures of the plane in the air :)

    3DHS 103" Extra 330SC Re-Build Log

    Well it finally happened! The Extra went on its first flight tonight. What an AWESOME maiden. 2 clicks of elevator and it was hands free flying even in 18 mph crosswind gusts! The plane was very responsive and tracked straight and true. I have a video that my daughter shot, not the best, that...

    I will be honest, I am NOT a graphic designer by any means, but I can usually create something from a drawing or picture :)

    3D BH Design 50% Edge 540

    I am using Photoshop CS5, which really makes it a lot easier because I can create individual layers for each color and then just modify it to my hearts content :)

    It was turning into a battle ground on "the other site", that is why I just stay here. Much more friendly and fun :) Thank you @Bartman and @SleepyC for sticking with it to bring us a new place to call home!

    3D BH Design 50% Edge 540

    @stangflyer I guess that means I will have to create another scheme for RF then :) Just send me pictures. BTW, I am hoping to create one for the Extra 330SC based on the plane I just finished after I get done with the Purple Edge scheme. I have it about 50% done and have been flying it on my...

    Frank Bowman rings low compression

    I went home at lunch and ran the engine again for about 20 minutes and it is running like it has never ran before! I have a 3W 27x10 wood prop on it and it is turning 6030 rpm at WOT! Couldn't get it past 5800 before the new parts. The throttle response is just like my 3W-150, nice and snappy :)...

    Frank Bowman rings low compression

    I got the 106 fired up tonight! I think I qualified for the Olympic prop flipping team or at least I had enough practice tonight :) Once I got the engine fired up it was great to actually hear it running better as time went on. Of course the first couple of minutes were just getting it warmed...

    3DHS 103" Extra 330SC Re-Build Log

    I picked it up from Home Depot. It will work, but takes a LONG time if you are doing any major areas. I found that Acetone worked really well on the Ultracote for me. Maybe I was lucky, so be sure to test in areas not visible in case it doesn't work as well for you. Mark

    Best place to buy Redline and new bottle?

    That is an AWESOME price on the gallon! I ordered mine directly from Redline and paid right at 80 before shipping.
