    What about the 92"er? Rob. One of those definitely has my name on it :big-grin:.

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

    Got to get busy on the electric stuff again. My gassers are done until the fall weather. Shop life in the AC is where I be :). The "hole in the wall" been needing attention as well :happy:.

    BlueBird HB 50B servos

    Something tells me bigger supply voltage wires and minimal connectors are going to be needed to operate this servo reliably. Thanks for that input @Snoopy1 . Will definitely update once I get em back. BTW......Your delta wing is Bad Ass.

    BlueBird HB 50B servos

    Me too Steve. One quit with a Futaba set up and one quit with the i10 which has frequency matching. Both servos that failed got hot and this last one fire cracker hot. It drained the battery extremely fast! Mechanical has no binding and gear train smooth as silk. An issue with its digital...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Got the servo "Blues Bird" as well. Have grounded the 330sc. They too (Blue Bird) will fix me up. Just have to travel a bit farther across the "pond". Takes about 2 to 3 weeks and 30$ shipping. Glad my "Purple" got the new EME60 and is reliable as the first one. Think I am going to put the BLS...

    Turnigy TGY-i10 full telemetry 10 ch computer radio

    I set the alert at 295. Typical flying yields 225-250. At 295 it is time to pull out of the hover and fly around and get it back to around 225. This is the same way I set my DA120 when I had it in the EF104. You can expect temps like this when the mercury is around 85. On nice cool days say 65...

    BlueBird HB 50B servos

    Very much so trust the i10. It's the H50B's that have me grounded with concern :concern:. Been playing with the programming on the i10 and am getting it to do some nice wing configurations such as spoiler mix to aileron. You have to be intuitive on what exactly your looking to do with the radio...

    Just an update. Had the right elevator servo start acting up. It got HOT! So hot the servo arm sticking out of the stab burned me! No binding or any thing like that. It just went and started cooking supper:ugh!:. Now 2 of 6 going back to Blue Bird. The remaining 4 seem to be just fine...

    Turnigy TGY-i10 full telemetry 10 ch computer radio

    I used 12-10awg ring terminal connector. The portion of the thermal head is inserted inside the ring connector and filled with thick ca then shrink wrap. The wires themselves are inside some red silicone fuel tubing. Spark plug holds em in place.

    Turnigy TGY-i10 full telemetry 10 ch computer radio

    I have installed this radio in to my 32% Extra 330sc with engine CHT and RPM sensors. Onboard voltage monitoring is done by the receiver alone since this bird fly's with one 4400ma 2s lipo. Hope to get it out Sunday afternoon and "see" the difference:).

    Thanks Mike. I just knew there was a use for some old glow fuel tubing because............I CHEAP!:laughing:

    Got the sensor's mounted. Just need to make the module connector that goes to the receiver.

    Basic engine tuning.

    It's that time of year again:eek:. Hot Humid weather causing lean conditions :very_angry:. Just opening the L needle a tad usually solves the problem. Shade and cool down after a flight is a must for me. See.....my personal "onboard" pump needs it too :attaboy:.

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

    I have installed the TGY i10 radio in my Extra 330sc. Made up some CHT and RPM sensors. Now need to spend more shop time installing all of the sensors :).

    Swapped radio and found rudder servo faulty. Glad I got a spare. Every thing seems as it should now operating on the i10 radio.
