    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I'll take one of those. I was everything in my previous club but president over the years. It was a total pain in the a$$. The last straw for me was when I was the CD of our clubs annual Builders Contest, back when people built things, and right as the winners were being announced it started to...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    One of my flying buddies was heading the project along with doing the website and several other things for the club, but was having some family issues and also feeling a little abused by the club so he pulled out. I'm not sure who's running it now, but I'll find out what I can.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I'm not sure what the plan is at this point. They looked into it a few years ago and decided not to do it, but recently voted to go ahead. I don't know if this one is cell based, or if they're going to use an Internet service. If I find out what equipment they're using, I'll let you know.

    Windy here too. Instead of driving a half hour to watch the wind blow I think I'll put my Composite ARF Extra in the truck and take it to the shop and test run the rebuilt carburetor. Our club is looking into getting a weather station for the field so you can check the wind before you make the...

    Pilot RC owners thread

    I made an aluminum adapter plate to use my DA50 header on my GP61. It worked out really well. I used high temp red Permatex and it's been totally leak free.

    Headers, who makes them?

    DA or Chief come to mind. I've bought headers from both in the past.

    GSN IMAC Lite Format...Ideas??

    If it could be made to work it would get more people involved in IMAC, but like Matt said there is always seems to be a big difference in the interest and the attendance. But, Rome wasn't built in a day and it takes a few tries to get things off the ground.

    Computers are great aren't they! I wanted to take an axe to one the other night. My 92 year old dad had his computer update to Windows 10 without him telling it to. It took me an hour to even get to the start page. I had to remove the WiFi adapter before it would get past the welcome page. I...

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

    I read a post by pe reivers on that other forum about this, and before it devolved into name calling and threatening like most engine discussions do over there, he had posted that the pressure for our use should be no less than 14 or idle performance suffers. He added that 30 was no problem at...

    IMAC Delro Raven 3.1M build

    I still have some of the ones with the square output. Just a few years ago I was still using one to work the retract valve in my UFO.

    IMAC Delro Raven 3.1M build

    Yep, 128's, 138's and then 148's. If you were really rolling in the dough 130's;)

    No doubt! But if I don't want to add any weight for balance that's where it all needs to be. It makes the composite fuselage look empty inside.;)

    And add to that the ignition and another battery on the outside of the dome.

    IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

    A lot of people like the Minwax Polycrylic. They claim it's lighter than Epoxy resin, but in all the testing I did a year or so ago I did not find that to be the case, for me anyway. I made several test panels that I weighed as I went, and the Polycrylic panels took more material and more primer...

    For the 1st of June it was really steamy here yesterday. Near 90, with rain several times during the day so the humidity was ridiculous.
