    2015 Sequences

    I think the last Intermediate Unknown (321K) at the Worlds, with the addition of a negative snap or two, plus changing the two 90 rollers to a single 270 would make a great Advanced Known for 2015!!!! :woohoo-dancing-bana

    Lucky to have Sleepy!!

    I had the honor of Steve stopping by and kibitzing several times AND place the big GSN flag-thingie at our tent location at the IMAC Worlds! Hope Cap't Jack generated some GSN interests during the week! I noted that the photog from FG avoided the area :sorrow::running-lol:

    Actually, EG lists it as a 42%, but what does Ty know?! :wink-new: Seriously....it does fly very well with that setup. Now if I could just learn to fly it!

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    Hi Roger....fantastic work, as usual. Does the rear spar attach (to the fuse) with a single bolt, or two? Also, I assume these bolts will be used to remove the wings for transport, eh?

    PICS: 2014 IMAC World Championship: Friday

    It's been a fun, but grueling week. Studying my final unknown for the contest, which looks like an advanced known:moody:. Gotta say the judges have been very critical...hard to get scores we're used to seeing. More later!

    White rose brakes

    Here's how I mounted mine with pants on my Raven. 12531=5789-DSC02402.jpg 12531=5788-DSC02403.jpg

    3 blade props

    Just throttle back a tad when you start hearing it. That's still a great prop for just about anything above a 150.

    Custom 3DHS Extra 330SC

    Yep....my Krill Extra 330SC will have the same scheme. Goal is to make it Top Gun worthy. I'll start the thread after the Worlds. Not a new plane, same old 2 yr old Krill :upset: My bad...one of my A123 packs did not take a full charge and I didn't notice it before heading to the field...

    Scale MattyMatt's Exclusiv Modellbau 50% Challenger II

    I still think you should make this a Challenger III and split the ailerons! :nodding-yes-by-a-ve

    Official Thread....Show Us Your NAD's!!

    I'll bite....here's my new but already 2-years old :apologetic: Krill Extra 330SC....still a work in progress. I plan to start a thread on it after I get back from the IMAC Worlds.

    let us talk about fuel tank clunks....

    One thing I have found through experience is if you use a piece of brass tube, or plastic, to keep the clunk near the rear of the tank.....it WILL do just that and when you are pointed downward, with lower gas levels the clunk will NOT be in the gas at all. I have had several dead-sticks...

    Smoke'um if you got'um

    Figured I'd throw in a few of my old Extra. Harris pump on Super Dri. 11534=4679-DSC05323LR.jpg 11534=4674-DSC05391LR.jpg 11534=4677-DSC05465LR.jpg 11534=4681-DSC06668 croppedLR-A.jpg

    Show us your bling.

    Will do Mike. As far as CARF's, I've never owned one...yet! I bought the Krill because it is the absolute most scale representation of the 330SC on the market. They really hit the fuse lines, canopy, gear and wing plan-form spot on. Wish they'd have done the reverse tapered ailerons like the...

    CARF....hold your tongue :upset:...it's a Krill :smile-new:. Still working on it...vvvveeerrrryyy slowly. After the IMAC Worlds I plan to get'r done. Thinking about taking it to Top Gun next year! The aluminum was only 0.018" and didn't weigh much (I didn't weigh it before hand). Heck the...

    Custom 3DHS Extra 330SC

    Ahh...don't fret. That was June of '13. Its demise put me into a 42% Raven, so there is a silver lining!

    Custom 3DHS Extra 330SC

    Had 4 great years flying this plane. Learned a bunch from her...from building/covering to flying. Before and after :sorrow: 10326=3709-01.jpg 10326=3710-02.jpg 10326=3711-07.jpg 10326=3716-1 copy.jpg 10326=3717-7.jpg 10326=3713-DSC05391LR.jpg 10326=3712-DSC05829LR.jpg

    The speckle or trunk paint is gas resistant....maybe even "proof". Never had it come off of any plane I've use it on. The front baffles are polished aluminum and the rear ones are balsa covered with chrome monokote. I always liked to think of that install as the DA 240 proto :biggrin-new:
