The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Finished repairing the 84” TBM. Floats are in the dumpster though. I didn’t have any gray ultracote laying around so I used silver. Not bad! I’ll need to order up some floats.- AKNick

89" SkyWing Laser 260 V2 Assembly Thread
Been getting some more flights in. Reset my throttle curve to match my ARS. I had to raise it quite a bit to create a linear feel as well. The best way for me to get it right was to open up the curve menu and adjust the curve during ground running. Fly it- adjust as necessary. I got it pretty...- AKNick

3D Printing General Discussion
3DPrinted Airplane Tires!! :cool: I’ve been wanting to try this for a VERY long time. Used some old 95A TPU I had purchased years ago for testing. My plan was to use the tire on my 4” SpotOn rim, but after seeing 14 hours per tire on the printer I decided to reduce the scale and make a test...- AKNick

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Nice, love it when a design works after all that work. My 1m MiniDart V1 was the same way, just blew through the lift. You could find it, but couldn't stay in it. My 1.5m Flitz2 stays in it. My flying buddy has a 1m Deviant and it's pretty impressive for a 1m. He also has the Hawk but it's a...- AKNick

Looks really good buddy... wait.. this isn't a DLG anymore! You've entered the F5K territory ;) How are you going to secure the canopy/hatch? Dont forget a little NACA duct to cool the ESC :too-cool:- AKNick

Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread
Roger that, It seems strange to me that the engine feels like there is no throttle movement from 1/3-1/2 then just wakes up and starts pulling super hard. Time to investigate. Think I have about five flights on the plane now. It's very consistant so I'm guessing I have a geometry issue... I...- AKNick

Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread
Took the 89” laser out along with the 75” edge. Both flew great. Need to figure out my throttle response on the laser - was playing with the throttle curve but it’s not helping much. Super peaky at mid range. I’ve never run a canister before and am curious if this is part of the issue.- AKNick

Whipped up a tire installer for the 3.5” spot on wheel. Just uploaded it to thingiverse as well.- AKNick

After skipping my poor 84” TBM to the water hard, I have decided to scrap the floats and rebuild the fuselage. I’m getting there…- AKNick

91" SkyWing ARS 300 Assembly Thread
Used Two R7008SB receivers, BoomaRC Multi Switch with two Pulse 2550 2S, direct input with no regulator or other interface. I did split the plane but looking back I don't see the need to or that it would ever help if one lost connection. If someone doesn't want the extra antennas just go with a...- AKNick

Yippee! What the postman brought
Gotcha, They look like rubber rubberized foam core. Seems like what a lot of companies are doing these days. The Kavans are nice, but still pretty hard - more give than the foam core versions though.- AKNick

Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread
No worries, I feel like I am out of sync with my planes lately only getting brief outings due do weird work schedules between my wife and I and the kiddo (I've had very little sleep the last few days) and I went out this morning because mamma and baby were still asleep. The DLG glider has been a...- AKNick

Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread
Went flying the other morning on the lake. I was having a peaceful day. but then some tourists showed up and I wanted to show off…imagine a full throttle on the deck pass, when stupid (me) forgot to take it out of high rates and wanted to get closer to the water. I slapped that poor plane on...- AKNick

It's the PR Bushwheels ;) They weigh like 1.2lbs each. Congrats on the re-maiden! Yeah, I agree about the excuse... seems like they could have kept it alive - but who really knows what's really going on behind the scenes.- AKNick

Setup & Modification Video is up! Also found out why the Timber 110” became discontinued. Turns out the vender for H9’s Timber 110 didn’t come back after the Chinese New Year.- AKNick
