    Pilot 40% 330 Recover and Build

    I know your eyeballing that DX20 but I got to say my DX8G2 does just about as much programming wise. Just absent of 12 additional channels. I put my money to work at the Rx's. The new and expensive AR9140T coupled with my Tx is about a modest 600 bucks. The Rx can pass peak loads of 50amps...

    Well all you snowbirds.....It's a couple of tick's before HIGH NOON and my thermometer says 53. Got to go get it loaded up. Of course I'm rusty as a nail covered in snow but you know what??? "I'm going out flying" :). Just going to Maiden and trim the plane and check how the current CG is. Hope...

    Thanks so much. I got a good feeling the plane will fly fine. What I am really anxious about is how well the engine performs. I still have everything for the 26% Pilot Extra except the fuse. My plans are to put the DL50 back in it and drop in a DJ72. Footprint is the same :).

    Just to let you know I have been :love: my Spektrum. Ease of programming. Best servo set up programming IMO of any radio I have had. Great telemetry functions and high current capabilities to boot with the power safe Rx's. I use the DX8G2 transmitter and it is all I need for any 3D/sport plane I...

    20 cc Edge 540 ARF Assembly.

    My Skyline Edge weighs 11 pounds and 72" WS with the RCGF26 and pitts muffler. It flies really well and does not wing rock like other smaller gassers but man it was built so light as an electric the engine wants to shake it apart. I'm always having to check the airframe for popped joints or...

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

    Did not make the bulkhead mounts just the bulkhead. The XT60 mounts can be had at various hobby retailers, Amazon and ebay. I got mine at HK ;). Used to have them In a Pilot Extra 330sc before I converted it back to gas.

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

    I did not like the adaptor I made for EC3 to XT60 connectors so I put to use some of my old electric parts. Now I feel comfortable that a solid connection will remain for the Rx batteries that are not accessed easily. Will be making some balance tab extensions for the two Rx packs also but I ran...
