    Aeroplus 111" Edge 540 V3 assembly

    I feel your pain! A friend and I flipped on his DA200 one day for what seamed like forever until we realized the choke servo had burned up and the choke was never on. :msn_slap:

    Rocket Powered RC — The Me-163 Komet

    Several guys in my club have the electric foamies with the Estes motor. All the rocket motor does is make smoke. It adds no thrust that you notice. Kinda cool though.;)

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Yes, because I already had it. The SparkSwitch, batteries and receiver were out of my Carf Extra that I just sold. This is the Frankenstein of airplanes. Wings and stabs rebuilt and modified from an Aeroworks Yak 54. Engine, tuned pipe and servos from my Aerowrks Extra 300 that I sold and...

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I've been trying to tame a bunch of unruly snakes here lately. Also known as plumbing and wiring this thing. I'm making some headway, but as much as I like my Duralite A123's, I could do without 4 leads coming out of each battery, it makes it hard to make things look neat.;) My new wing tube...

    Thanks again for the heads up, I was able to score a new in the box 12 channel pre telemetry style PowerSafe from a buddy at the field.

    This one is an couple year old 9020 non PowerSafe. I'm glad you mentioned that since I was just about to order a new PowerSafe for my Hangar 9 Extra 300X.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    It's a Secraft. I got it from Aztec Aeromodels. I've had one in my Edge for about 5 years. I had to spend a little time thinning down the rubber grommets because they were a bit thick, and I used 4-40's and blind nuts to hold it down instead of the wood screws it came with.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Yesterday my receiver mount showed up so I installed it. Tonight I'm going to start figuring out how to make all this wiring look like something, other than a bowl of spaghetti. I ordered a new wing tube that should be here tomorrow. Hope it fits.

    News Thoughts on new 2017 shirts?

    I like the bottom one. Nice work Dennis! Now the my question is, will there be giant scale shirts for those of us that are giant scale in real life? :lol2: 5X would be my choice.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I decided to add some vents in the bottom rear of the fuselage behind the pipe cover. I also realized the other day that I had never cut any holes for the elevator extensions, so I took care of the too. I also added some tabs in the fuselage to route the elevator extensions through.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I have been making a little progress lately. I mounted the ignition, built the tank, made a mount for the Powerbox kill switch, installed the LED for the kill switch and roughly laid out most of the wiring. I ended up just strapping the ignition to the front of the firewall, because there just...

    News Thoughts on new 2017 shirts?

    Light color would definitely be nice. I have a red one and a black one, but I won't wear the black one if it's over 70 and sunny, too hot! As for the design I always thought the airplane could be more prominent.

    Sport Idiot Boy Builds an Old School World Engines Robin Hood 99 Kit

    Good a new build thread, I'm in Mike! To add to the glue debate Zap is definitely not what it once was. I used to use Zap on plywood all the time, but it just doesn't seem to hold like it did 25+ years ago. Of course back then the shelf life was REALLY short. Just my opinion, other peoples...
