    Timber 110" Twin Build

    Beautiful work!!! BTW the 3.25” dubro smooth tire is 30mm wide (1.18”) People would pay good money for the ART you are creating

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    I doubt they'll make a V2 that would be against some horizon hobby virtue :roflmao: It sound's like QC is improving based on what I've been hearing. I think it's still important to beef up the cabin area that keeps the wings on with some tri-stock and replacing the blind nuts/contraptions with a...

    Timber 110" Twin Build

    Very nice! Your wife seems to be smiling so that's GREAT!!!! My TW fork is on Thingiverse as a .STL , not sure what the actual raw file is labeled. I'll have to check the diameter later.

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

    A guy I fly with here makes his own rocket engines. They are hit or miss sometimes as the packing is hard and there isn't any gas to pop a parachute out later. but it's pretty neat. I think he uses stump killer that has potassium nitrate and mixes it with something.

    Nice maiden!! One take off and landing complete!! You are probably overheating on the ground. You should tune it and fly to break it in properly. Only the little gas engines (20cc<)and nitro engines need a ground break in. Usually it would be hard to start if it got too hot and leaned out on...

    I just ran across this DuBro Factory tour. Gives me some more respect that I already had for these guys. Sure it's five years old, but to see that their products, product supplies are not made overseas makes me happy.

    Timber 110" Twin Build

    The Timber Tail is a lot heavier. I originally made a TW fork with a 2.25" sullivan tire and it sank in the sand, it pivoted great though. Your beach sand is a lot more compacted than mine close to the water. I really like the 3.25" Dubro smooth rubber low bounce on mine for this reason. I had...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    How Fun! This was my first 50cc, and first plane over 90"... first plane to be over 20lbs!! Capacity Alarms are a great resource for electrics. For reducing the 5/32" axle size to 1/4" if you don't have access to a lathe - you can see what I did on page 2&3 Posts 12,18,29 by getting a bushing...

    I've been using these: https://northwestrc.com/Foam-Wire-Keeper-Assortment--FULL-SHEET_p_2220.html Attached them with CA. They are not reusable, but they are light.

    Why hello fellow Alaskan!! :welcome: I tried to hit "like" multiple times, but it wont let me :cryin: As you probably saw, we have a 110" timber thread here you can reference for beefing up the needed areas. CG 5" back from the LE should be easily achieved with your setup! That Stick turned out...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Nice! What tire is that? If you don’t use ball links, to make the Wire not dig into the plastic be sure to sleeve it with some brass tubing or something. It requires more torque to move it than the little tiny wheel. 3DP is a learning process, most of us don’t have expensive printers and just...

    91" SkyWing ARS 300 Assembly Thread

    Had a few paragliders stop by to visit! Cylinders never went over 340! Stayed 275 most the time unless I was wide open. Right cylinder was about 20deg higher. Much closer now. My air dam V2 worked well. Notice it actually deflected the exhaust residue as well.

    3DHS 75" EDGE 540 V2 Assembly Thread

    Got a couple flights in! Had some tubing issues but resolved with going back to basics and retune. One click of aileron. One click of up elevator. I’ll need to recheck my trims to see where they were before 45 inverted was pretty neutral with the nose leveling off a tiny bit. Tail doesn’t drop...
