    78'' Extra

    I had to get Patrick (gunsmith) to custom drill and cut a Tru-turn spinner to fit for mine. Sadly I won't fly mine much in the next few weeks as the airframe is for sale and I have the 15cc, PTE-72, Drastik programming, and another wing reinforcing project to wade through, and oh Bigfoot as...

    Bowling Green Extreme 3D Fly-In, July 25-28, 2013

    Is the prototype with the Cub Yellow or a "production" version?

    15cc EF 60" Edge 540T-EXP Gasser

    I have played with a number of 20cc class motors and airframes. The only ones I call successful are the 68/70 Velox's. When the project is done, I will have that to compare this to.

    Small Gas 3D

    I have done another gasser project similar to what you are trying to do with a Hangar 9 Katana. It ended up close to 8 pounds! I flew it a few times, and frankly was not impressed. It went super fast and rolled insanely fast, but that was it. It needed more elevator and I frankly did not...

    78'' Extra

    I ran all three of those props. The Vess is a decent break in prop. The 21x8 is the ticket. You might try a 20x10 for speed/IMAC type flying. The 21x8 puts it right in the recommended RPM range. I am going to pick up a carbon 21x8 when I transplant the motor. The twin produces power better...

    15cc EF 60" Edge 540T-EXP Gasser

    The advantage of the gasser over glow is that there is a bit more torque so this can swing a 15" or maybe 16" prop, where the glow will produce it's power on a 13" or 14" at higher RPM. The glow is more powerful in the end, just not as well suited for 3D. Also you would have to carry 16+ ounces...

    78'' Extra

    Here are some photos of mine on the Yak. The extra is a living room compared to this cowl. Curtis told me last week there were gassers in the container coming mid month August.

    78'' Extra

    Thanks for letting me fly it. That was the first time I really got to work with it as all the flights when I "owned" it were power system test flights. Can't wait for the container to arrive so I can transplant the 40 twin.

    15cc EF 60" Edge 540T-EXP Gasser

    Flight reports First flights with small prop and very forward CG were still pretty good. The plan flew well with no bad habits. Next I moved the fuel tank forward to solve fuel issue and installed RX battery in the tail. This is did not solve the fuel issue, but the CG was correct. I also...

    After my work on the 10cc gasser project I decided to try another project with the Evolution 15GX. http://3drcforums.com/showthread.php?1359-10cc-3D-gasser-An-exercise-with-a-VH-Sabre-X-51-quot-and-a-Evolution-10GX I tossed around a bunch of different airframe ideas and I settled on one of the...

    Cylinder wall is all messed up. Patrick thinks it was run lean at some point. Probably user error.

    Due to circumstances that are mainly self induced my GT60 needs parts that cost more than a EME-60 so I am looking at doing the PTE-72 on my 88 edge. I think I will be happier with the twin and the DA-70 is just taking too stinking long.

    Spektrum DX18

    My guess is that there will be like a DX-20 or something like that next and just make us all buy another 1k radio.

    EF Yaks are coming...who wants one?

    An earlier post from Chris said the lasers were on this container. It was the post where he said the shipment had been held up with changing the 48" Yak black ultracote to dark blue.
