    Cool The I'm going out flying thread 2017

    Me and my Buddy Charlie made out late to the "private" place and you would still break sweat at 7pm from warm humid air. We had a nice window though with a calm west wind and sun at our backs.. Maiden his Edge and it did really good in the air but some poor undercarriage characteristic led to a...

    Cool The I'm going out flying thread 2017

    Going to head out to my "private" place tomorrow with my buddy and hopefully see some Edge and Extra action :). Basically maidens for both planes (My buddies 26cc Edge) for the last time out the Extra did not behave and needed a good spanking :spongebob: and the Edge was not feeling quite...

    The Rolling Harrier

    The rhythm method is great for those who can dance. I got two left feet therefore two left thumbs :confused??:. Been working on my rhythm over timing though and it seems to be helping me. I still suck at rolling and only attempt it 5 mistakes high because I make 5 mistakes while attempting...

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

    Alright. So I got over my "frustration" hangover and dug into the pump end of the WT908 carb and pulled the rubber membrane diaphragm and installed the "other" diaphragm (Reinforced Plastic Fiber???) from the K20WAT rebuild kit. I also added a "shield" for the hole on the metering diaphragm...

    What engine you going to run? A flying bud had a DLE55 and went to a DA60 then to a DLE85! It is friggin awesome with the 85! But when I saw it fly for the first time ever it had the DLE55 and it pulled it quite nicely.

    Good days in the shop don't necessarily mean a good day at the field :face-palm:. Me and my buddy went to fly his Edge and my Extra yesterday evening and boy what a futile endeavor :gnashing:. Nothing was crashed :) but nothing made it off the ground :(. Think I will get...

    Sport Idiot Boy Builds an Old School World Engines Robin Hood 99 Kit

    I have used it on smaller electrics with success but I think you made the right call here especially with that "surf board" wing ;). Carry on Brave Soldier!:laughing:

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

    Yesterday evening I got my buddies 70" Edge completed and tuned the RCGF 26 w/ 18x6 VV wood prop. No numbers but I held the plane and WOW! mission accomplished! At 11pounds 2 ounces (full 14oz tank. 10 pounds 6 ounces dry.) it feels almost foamy like:fist_pump:.

    Yep. LE to TE complete. Here is a pic of one I will be using with my 78" Extra 330. About 6.5"W x 6"L X 3/16" thick. Something a bit smaller or the same size should do fine on your Funtana.

    BlueBird HB 50B servos

    Just an FYI for H50B users......I sent an E-Mail to Blue Bird describing the issue as I posted earlier and they requested I send all of my servos in for even yet a newer firmware update. They explained new firmware was developed and implemented in March, 2017. So as I now understand it. Three...

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

    Now that my plane is ready for action I was able to get back to a build I did (1.20 electric to 26cc gas conversion 70" Edge) for a friend and correct a tail heavy issue. Mounted the two 1350ma 2S Lipos as far forward as I could get them. Worked perfectly and the plane balances on the neutral...

    No. Just a poor fit in the slot due to the triangle gusset.

    CRRC GP50R

    So the CRRC is definitely out (did not like the 6 bolt hub anyway) and a DA50 is just going to have to wait a bit longer but I think I got it all solved with the DL50. So.......Parts count to a great running almost 10 year old DL50 (Engine was "gifted" to me)..... 1. Prop Hub 2. Prop shaft...

    I like how you decorated the family room in "Aero-Monolith":way_to_go: . Reminds me of another family room that was done in "Aero-Behemoth":D. For myself a modest "Modern-Aero" works just fine :). I did get my Extra fitted with a new RcExcel A-02 6-12 volt ignition and rebuilt the Walbro WT 908...

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

    My "guess" would be a voltage drop / amp spike caused by a poor connector / connection some where. You said your lock out failsafe is activated. RFI can hit and glitch servos but not fail safe a receiver if it is "mild". Hard RFI will cause things to go APE :steamer:. JST and RST style...
