I’m going out flying thread 2019
I'm not quite sure what you are asking. Looks like you've added it in your posts, but it wont let me watch the video here - I have to go to YouTube. If you embed the video url by clicking on the image that looks like a video reel you can embed the video in the post.- AKNick

Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.
Well if there is anything I know about lathes it's the tooling that will cost you in the end. I would check out all the attachments, and costs as well as the overall cost of the unit. I'd love to have a mini lathe as well. I have access to one for now, so I'll use that :)- AKNick

Top Flite RTC Giant Scale P40/Roto 85 FSI
:lol2: Let me know if he bails on you. I feel like I'd be stupid to say no at what you listed it for... I would have had to beat three planes into the ground before it showed up so my wonder woman wife doesn't kill me if I did get it.:msn_slap: Only reason I hesitated HA!!- AKNick

It's a .50 size, 20cc is out of the equation. But thanks very much! Your P40 got snatched up quick!- AKNick

IMAC Pattern - Cadence w/ DA 35
Nice! I see you used a power supply with a battery charger 12.3V @ 5A 20gauge... how did you setup your charger for this? This build process is intriguing!- AKNick

Top Flite RTC Giant Scale P40/Roto 85 FSI
Love it! I have a H9 P40 with a Saito 82... nitro... I haven't flown it in forever (because of the Nitro thing), but since a P40 is my favorite fighter on the WWII scene... it's my hangar queen right now.- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Haven’t tried slats yet, seems like most people are leaving them off to see how it handles without them first. With the larger tires it coupled to the gear in knife edge. The airframe is floaty, but keep in mind it is a high wing still. I’ve heard it likes flying on its back. It transitions...- AKNick

17oz tank would be plenty. Lots of variables with weight. Gear, tires, power system, and overall setup. It would be neat to find longer carbon gear to replace the stock aluminum and lighter wing struts if you use them.- AKNick

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
34F is usually my cutoff. There are other factors at play.... wind is a big one. I will fly much lower temps if there is no wind and little humidity. I’ll shorten my flights to about five-six minutes depending on the type of plane... only because my fingers start to hurt and get numb which makes...- AKNick

91" SkyWing ARS 300 Assembly Thread
Not a bad idea. I’ve been sticking with tygon, just had a wild hair to use the matching blue line that came with the plane. The tygon is thicker too, which might help me here too. I forgot to mention that it was 31F out when I was flying.... hand warmers and a big poofy jacket. Oct was not a...- AKNick
