    I was a SNIPE in the NAVY. Two things I could do is break an anvil and wear out a needle gun :black-eye:. Was known to push a mean 'redlead" brush too!:fist_pump:.

Flipped it 4 times and saw fuel get drawn through the fuel line :attaboy: . But I won't let temptation cause really bad judgment. Tomorrow will come...

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

    I have always used red. I have not had problems but did at first. The key to remember with red is that it must get hot and ash to get it out or it will cause hex heads to shear off. Once it goes on that's it. I have sheared bolts when I first started using it but it was because I installed a...

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

    My Ultra Copper was all dried up and the auto parts was out but did have Ultra Grey so I'm giving it a try. IMO the best thing to have on hand is brand new bolts that have not been stretched. I use a flat washer and lock washer and one drop of red. Never had one come loose. No leaks. The Ultra...

    Everything going in the plane and including the plane and engine parts was found on ebay. Only exceptions are the flight batteries, servos, SS hardware and engine stand off hardware. I have not bound the receiver yet. Was using an Orange Rx DSMX to center and set throttle and rudder servos. I...

    Built a receiver tray for the Extra. The AR9140T and 3 remotes was a bit different installing than my old Futaba's but it REALLY looks to be a ROBUST Rx. Need to get some of those telemetry thingy's for it too :geek:.

    Got all the electronics and wiring in the fuse DONE! Whew :ooh?:. Was not looking to hide it like I did in the V1. Instead I was opting for that "Pinball machine guts" look o_O.

    Thank you. I live on the Gulf Coast in Lower Ala. and this is the flying season for most of us. Summer is too hot and humid for me. Others will go out though and burn up their minds, bodies, planes and engines. In that order :lol2:.
