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

    Gave the extra "remains" a decent burial. "Rest in pieces". Got everything somewhat organized for what's turning out to be three projects. And no. It's not all for me but I wish it was :yesss:. .

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

    Got a bit more dismantling done on the Extra. After thorough inspection I have decided to order another fuse and canopy for it. Will get the DL50 rebuilt first then get the parts for the plane. I went ahead a got a new crankshaft for the 50 as well. So when all is done it will be "like" having a...

    Thanks Paul. But to be honest this incident boils down to pilot error. It has been such a long time that I challenged my flying skills I was WAY to over zealous trying to prove myself. Ended up costing my only gasser. If only that engine would run decent in the midrange I don't think we would be...

    In that case :sneaky:..... I did some NTSB'n or maybe some NTBS'n who knows??? What I do know Mike is your a good guy :way_to_go:. I did not pull apart the receiver yet but did hook up the power harness and satellite just as it was after the crash. The power switches were on so power was...

    Cool The I'm going out flying thread 2017

    I got to thinking.......When I was out flying the last time with the Extra I wonder if I broke the fuse from doing hard KE snaps, pop tops and tornados. It dawned on me because the way the remote receiver was mounted and the cable was stretched completely out with no "slack" to speak of. I know...

    Yes and on the AR8000 a little red led lights up when plugging in power to the bind/dat port. The bat's I used were 25C. I finally got motivated and removed the rubble from my van to my NTSB hangar for investigation :geek:. The new servo amp tester I got is going to go to work! Remarkably the...

    Agreed. Even their other servos in the BLS line up (2209's 3114's for example) use more power but their coreless versions do seem to be on par with other brands when it comes to power usage. But I bet even that monster torque MKS 380 slugs down the juice;).
