    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I couldn't agree more. I remember buying a plane a number of years back and what to my wondering eyes did I see? Bolt upon bolt upon bolt, taped mind you...to the tail gear. I mean really? Under the cowl is one thing but on the tail gear? Lately if I absolutely "must" add weight I try my best...

    I gotz me some toys today. Really cool vents to keep the 212....cooool. From TDRC of course. And shiny brand new canisters for that beasty dub to dump her hot exhaust into. None other than Aircraft International. Looks like I have a plan mapped out for me tonight. That big ole Yak better...

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

    Well here's the deal Chris, I was not looking for anything on the ignition swap "EXCEPT" dependability and reliability. I felt the 157cs ran just fine. When the ignition module was not failing! As for mounting The "dub" ignition...if you remember, we discussed this in detail and followed your...

    Kelly, I am sorry I have not had time to respond to some of your recent posts. More irons in the fire than I know what to do with it seems. I did want to say however, thank you for your FB post. It is so good to see you getting involved again. I know that life happens sometimes. But I have also...

    Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.

    Just getting caught up on a few followed threads. I am so impressed. But then again, it doesn't surprise me of the quality and artistry in which you are doing on this build. Between you and @Jetpainter, it's really tough for me to decide whose hobby room to raid tonight. :devil-dance:Decisions...

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

    The RC Excl is plug and play. To an extent. No soldering required. It does however require the purchase of the hall sensor. $6.99 from my favorite ebay supplier. It comes as a "DYI" kit. Sensor, mounting bracket and screws. The bracket is a perfect fit for the dub motors. So basically bolt and...

    I can't honestly say if you'll get similar results. I've yet to run my 70 twin to know. But I would definitely give Milton a call. Web site is rcpowerextreme.net

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

    Yes, I am using RC Excl ignitions on all my newer 3w engines. After I had problems with the original "updated" 3w module on my 157cs, I did some investigating and discovered the RC Excl actually improves performance and smooths out the midrange. I instantly gained over 400 rpm on the 157 and...

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

    A little more progress of the install of the 212 on the Behemoth Yak. Long days at work are slowing the process, but a little each day and I should have it ready to button up soon. First, the fuel system is complete now. New vent tubing on the air horns along with new 5/32" fuel tubing from the...

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Thanks for that. I usually look at it the same way. It will either fly, or it won't. And if it does, great. If it doesn't? Well, then all I can say is....."NEXT". Of course the weather all week is supposed to be sunny and warm. Low to now winds. Grrr....oh well, I got a lot accomplished on the...

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

    The Behemoth Yak once again has four red headed pistons under the hood. It really was not much of a task to cut the motor box and move the firewall back to accommodate the extra length of the 3W 212. Once the motor box side filler plates were cut and glued in, it was all down hill from there...

    Discussion Best Aircraft for the 100cc Engines

    My .02 cents worth of opinion here. When speaking of 100cc engines and looking for appropriate airframe, a couple of things need to be considered here. First, are we talking 100cc DA or 100cc 3W? 100cc of another brand? I hope I don't make anyone mad, but the DA 100 is a tested and true little...

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    For me, that is exactly what my conflict is. I mean like last weekend I maidened the new Edge. Though I was a little apprehensive, I had no issue blazing to the field, readying the plane and mashin' the gas pedal to the floor. By the second and third flight, I had that girls rudder 1" from the...

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    No, unfortunately it has not. And according to the weather forecast, it does not look like it will fly today. Wind, rain, clouds...yuk. Guess I'll just stay in and work on the Yak.
