    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    Yeah the scratch build is first since it's the closest and I have almost everything I need. Plus, it's been so long, I just really need to get it done.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I'm using a Booma RC dual battery pin flag switch. They offer them with either JR or Deans Ultra inputs and outputs. I wanted one with Ultra's in and JR out, but couldn't find one anywhere. I bought one with Ultra's in and out and changed the outputs to JR's. The LED light for the switch...

    The airframe with the receiver is my scratch build project. :) The Extra is resting peacefully in my family room until the scratch build is done.

    The servos arrived today. The list of parts I still need is getting a little smaller.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I just got back from the field. Even though the weather is awesome for February there was no flying for me today, nothing really ready to go. It was nice to get out and see friends though.

    INVERSA 33 ARF assembly by Hanger 9. Motor OS-GT33

    What kind of trouble were you guys having with the XG11? I've had the DSMX version of the 11x for about 5 years and love it.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I had a friend that had a mid air while flying a pattern airplane back in the late 80's. When he landed, his looked like that only the top half of the servo was still attached and dangling from the rod.

    That hits the nail on the head right there. It makes it even worse when the "Jerk" is a nice guy, you can't even hate him.:lol2:

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    Yep the famous California mud slides. I hope it's not too bad.

    The Ryan @pawnshopmike is talking about is Ryan Mowery. Ryan is an awesome pilot. Here is a little video I took last year of him torture testing a new prototype RedWing 120cc Slick. I didn't get the first part of the flight when he was running up and down the runway doing rollers inches from...

    I would love to see that! The pucker factor might be high, but probably worth it.

    I'm sure they'll get tested now and then. ;) And by the way I took you advice on where to get them. I tried calling several times, without any luck, so I ended up going through the website. I think they should be here tomorrow.:)

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

    Would you guys quit talking about fuel pumps! You might give my 22 year old S-10 shop truck ideas. It still has it's original pump. I did put a clutch in it for the first time last summer.

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    I ordered all my servos last night. Hitec 6 HS-7954SH for ailerons & elevators 1 HS-7950TH for rudder 1 HS-5665MH for the throttle I'm not a hard core 3D guy, so I'm not really worried about overpowering these.

    INVERSA 33 ARF assembly by Hanger 9. Motor OS-GT33

    Well for me that would depend on weather or not JR is sticking around. I've tried to stay current about the situation, but all the threads on the other forums seem to have devolved into name calling and insults. I think if my 11X ever gives up I'll probably buy a DX18 even though I can't say I'm...

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    If you can keep enough airflow through the tunnel it's not a big issue, especially with canisters. Tuned pipes on the other hand can build more heat. A buddy of mine spoke to DA about it once and they told him the header on a tuned pipe setup can run much higher temps than a can setup. Then when...
