    :woohoo!: Great and thanks so much Rob. Could not have timed it better brother. Getting ready to pull the cowl too and address the CG issue. Going to get "Creative" with it :sneaky:. What I think I might also do is have my buddy Raiko paint matching yellow checkers on the spinner. That way the...

    No. My buddy was flying his with me and complained about the wing rock. I told him you have to keep the wing "loaded". Regulate your elevator and throttle inputs gently to keep a forward momentum. Steer with the rudder and a bit of opposite aileron. He did and was then :). He has only been...

    Was an overcast day but a warmer cool of 63 and low humidity and no wind. Had a blast with the chunk O foam. New landing gear did great on the grass field. Touch and go's and landings smooth as silk. 3D flight felt better too! with the bit of added weight. Rock solid harrier. And yes these QQ300...

    When Maiden came for "Purple" It was the first ARF, Engine and muffler (ran a pro flow on an EME60 Mejzlik CF 24x8) combo that I could say was perfect right out of the boxes and off the table. Like it was purpose built for that. Did not need to add weight to balance just mounted the batt's...

    :yesss: certainly is! Makes me want to (try) show off and then PAY for my greed :beaten:. Just HAD TO attempt a Jace the Race :on_the_go: knife edge an inch off the ground. Best done over level grass and not a plowed up field where the spinner can find the only huge rock in it after the wing...

    Looks like we have a winner of a chicken dinner @Snoopy1 :yesss:. Broke out the level and incidence meter to check the stab. What'd ya know......Stab is actually just about 0. Measured Neg -.5 degrees in relation to the main wing. When I did this to the V1 it measured Pos +1 degree (which I set...

    If it's any consolation......I have obliterated two of them. On my third and hopefully my last. That plane has a way of making me think I can do things! NOT o_O.

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

    Had to check and see how the engine was lubricating the bottom of my plane......Now I know it needs to be on a leaner low fat diet.

    All my glow engines are gone, deceased or sold. In that order :big-grin:. Why I keep a gallon of 30%, glow driver, electric starter and tachometer is beyond me :rolleyes:.

    And they ran great on no or low nitro fuel. I restored a 1.80 and it would start with a simple back flip!

    Yea I calculated 32oz sq.in. WL. A bit away from that magical 24oz sq.in. but still acceptable for a larger 3D plane. My first 50cc was a scratch built Godfrey Extra 300. Had a Brison 3.2 in it and a 82" WS. It weighed 18.5 pounds wet. And it was a sheeted foam wing with the fuse being built up...
