    Well I got my shop deed for the evening almost done.... Going to give it a whirl in the air first and see how it does. Simply took the stock LG retainer cover and used it as a template to bore the mounting holes. I'm chuckling right now as the "Robster" just posted up a HUGE emoji. Guy really...

    I have always wanted to know what value in Ohms each cell should have or "not go below" before condemning the cell. I got this meter and finally found how to check internal resistance but it only will do the first cell in the pack. You have to plug a same number of cells pack in to the voltage...

    @Snoopy1 here is something that is like the MKS wheels and arms. You could adapt those fiberglass arms to an aluminum wheel just as easy. I used the supplied aluminum arms that I got and found some aluminum wheels on ebay. The holes in the middle of the arms are smaller than the diameter of the...

    Indoor flying??? If there were an indoor parking lot with a 100 foot ceiling :big-grin:. With me at the sticks I don't think the whole plane would survive much less the pants in an indoor basketball court. Now I do hand launch it and recover it by hand too but I'm at ease in the wide open space...

    I found it on ebay. It has a cross section of 140mmX25mm which is perfect for the QQ300 dimensionally. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-Fiber-Landing-Gear-For-70E-EXTRA300-RC-Airplane-Easy-DIY-Holes/292288130312?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

    Fiberglass arm is good but I would not trust plastic to a 30%/35%/40% model. I learned this the hard way even on a 26%.........Powerful rudder servo stripped the splines on a plastic servo arm and it even had the metal reinforcement band around the spline mold.

    Been running around the mail box hoping it would turn in to some RC goodies. Just need the CF LG to show up and get the foamy rolling smooth :). Just don't like down time waiting :thumbsdown:. Wastes really good shop time and gets me to thinking too much :lol2:. As I suspected the wheel pants...

    @Snoopy1 500ozin should be plenty. And MKS servos are a great servo. But......Servo torque values are with a 1" from center measurement. I am going to try a rudder servo tray that will put more output torque of the servo to the rudder itself. I find when using long (3 to 4 inch) rudder pull...
