    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    I've been hearing a lot of big names using the Bluebird servos lately. I was under the impression they were lower quality servo in the past. What do you think of them? Have you used them before? I know that @49dimes is a firm believer in them and I have been tempted to give them a try once he...

    Another absolutely amazingly gorgeous day here in Idaho. We sometimes get a nice day in January. But not two perfect flying days back to back. The weather today out classes yesterday in many ways. More even temp and breeze dropped to nearly nothing. So nice in fact, I took off my jacket as...

    The weather forecast for today was pretty much right on track. A little chillier and a little more Breezy, but what the heck it should still be fun. Besides, it's not often during this time of the year that we can fly two days in a row. So we are taking advantage while we can. Along with that my...

    Tail heavy? Ah yeah!! That's when they fly the best. Just point the nose up and mash the gas pedal to the floor.

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

    Right after I posted this last night, I emailed Tony at Pilot R/C with my concerns of the new Yak canopy. It wasn't three hours and I had a response from Tony regarding the deformed and blemished Yak canopy. As he has done in the past, he requested photos of the problematic canopy. In which I...

    Thanks Snoop... he definately adds to the look of the plane. Decided against the clear gauge covers. I think they will offer no advantage or added benefits.

    Glassing and Painting techniques

    I am very happy you were finally able to talk to Kevin. He and Richard are just about the greatest guys. You can't imagine how many phone calls I put into Richard regarding my Pitts paint issues. I ended up spending right at about $150.00 for all the paint for the Pitts. This was including the...

    Well I ran into a bit of a snafu this evening with the canopy replacement on the big Yak. After getting everything ready for the replacement canopy to be installed, I fully looked over the canopy and noticed far too many blemishes and imperfections. Also, the overall size of the canopy is bigger...

    Awesome. That's good to know. Thank you for your opinion. I think I'm going to leave well enough alone and forget the clear cover. Know what I would do? Keep :trance: at it. Lol. That's going to be quite the installation. But I know you. You will make it look great.

    Dang, do I remember having something like that? Saturday mornings for me began at around 5:30 with a like sized bowl of my favorite cold cereal. Yes either Fruit Loops or Lucky Charms.

    Wow, this is turning into more of a task than I first imagined. I am making progress though. Here are some photos and a simple explanation to each photo as I have been proceeding. First, the tools! A couple of dental picks, a fresh #11 blade in the xacto knife, trim tool and my sealing iron. I...
