    IMAC practice tips for new pilots.

    Thanks for starting this thread and to all those who have contributed. Very interesting and very helpful. Look forward to incorporating some of these!

    Congrats on reducing the smokes. The mint nicotine gum helped me quit chewing. Did that for a very long time(chewing not the gum).

    VVRC 40cc Twin

    Since the weather has been great I temporarily suspended the JTEC build to get out some do some flying! Here are some updated results. I got the throttle curve and jetting squared away and now have excellent throttle response and linearity. I also tried a falcon 20x9 carbon. This prop on the...

    3D 30cc hazzbro extra

    Looking good so far! I haven't built this one, but I would assume that if you can't find the piece in your kit, and there is stock available in the correct size, you'll have to cut some. I would suggest that you go through the plans/instructions to ensure that "available" stock is not required...

    Very cool and very exciting! Have your two year old help you unbox it... Get 'em started early.

    VVRC 40cc Twin

    Thanks. Yep, 2-strokes are funny animals and the exhaust is even more strange. What we think intuitively usually doesn't hold true. Have had many many "good" ideas for the two-stroke boat racing exhaust that failed miserably. Had some others that were often odd that seemed to work! It's crazy! I...

    Had to add some paint... Very pleased with the performance and noise reduction.

    I got the 2 into 1 header and pinacle can for Christmas. Installed it in my EF 78 Extra. Here are some pics of the install. Didn't take any dB readings, but I do have some rpm on ground in air. Two separate days but very similar atmospheric conditions. 20x8 Xoar Laminated. 6900 on ground and...

    Thanks and no problem! I took a pic of the packing slip from McMaster Carr. No transposition errors that way!

    IMAC JTEC 2.7m Extra 300CS

    LOL!! Yep! Might as well, since I am going through it anyway - it will be fun, and I'll learn a bunch more that way! Thanks for letting me do it!

    IMAC JTEC 2.7m Extra 300CS

    I maidened it yesterday! In the dark - it has LED lights! Looking to start a new night time IMAC competition. Unfortunately, it didn't go well, and I had to start over. Soooooo, I am at about the same place as where I left off last time. Will try to take this one a little slower this time and...

    Cool profile. I have all the parts for a Mojo65 with a VVRC 20cc. Put it on hold to start and finish a JTEC 2.7m Extra 300 (will be many months!). You should do a build thread here for sure! I think the probro site might have some info on that one. Maybe @cbarnes0061 will have some better info...

    IMAC JTEC 2.7m Extra 300CS

    You are correct except for joining them together in the middle. I just need to finish the longerons and glue them to the fuse sides. Then start putting the fuse together with all the formers. I had hoped to get a whole bunch of this done before I have to go back to work, but, as those who are...

    DA 120 with onboard Tach.

    I recently picked this up for use on my VVRC 40 twin. Works great. Plugs directly into the tach output on the RCexl ignition and is supposedly optically separated. One item to note, during fast spool ups, the unit can't keep up and you get an erratic rpm reading, much higher than actual (325,000...

    Well, finding some time to get back after this project. The stab doublers were added to the fuse sides and the glue is dry (for a while now). Tonight I started on a jig to cut and join the longerons. Going to cut them at 30 deg. More to follow.
