    INVERSA 33 ARF assembly by Hanger 9. Motor OS-GT33

    I think the DMSS will be a good platform. Not all JR products are junk. Just the XG11.

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

    I spent a little time today doing some maintenance and repairs on my Gaserized Cessna and the 3w 170 Sukhoi. Late last fall I had a mishap with the Cessna and as much as I hate to admit it, totally my fault. I guess I have gotten used to flying in a "stalled" condition with my aerobatic planes...

    INVERSA 33 ARF assembly by Hanger 9. Motor OS-GT33

    So it wasn't just me on the XG11? Go figure. As I mentioned, I tried 2 of them. About 7 months apart. First one I figured it was just me and I just didn't understand the programming. I really could never acclimate to it either. A radio just "has" to "feel" right in my hands. The second one I...

    INVERSA 33 ARF assembly by Hanger 9. Motor OS-GT33

    I am such a slacker. I have not taken the time to keep up to date on your build. I do apologize. Work, Pitts, sleep, Pitts, eat, Pitts, shower, Pitts. I think there is a pattern that has developed here. LOL. I am curious what bolts you are using there? I don't remember seeing those before. I...

    She is quite the little photographer....super nice shots. The LX is quite the plane too. Been looking at the new LX's that are being offered. Maybe it'll be time to retire "Baby" at the end of this year for a new airframe????

    Fiber Optic servo extension

    The more I watch your video and weigh the advantages vs. the possible weak links of our current systems, the more I am considering this system for my project next year. Is there any risk of degradation of signal possible with longer fiber optic cables? As in roughly 120 inches. With a three...

    I had a great date with a red head yesterday. I figured today would be a good day for a little fun with a certain blonde. Hee hee No extreme 3D today. (Well not much...lol) Just practicing some precision to get familiarized with the 2017 Sportsman IMAC sequence. Really looking forward to this...

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Actually I will be doing it. Simple cylinder/piston swap. All the 170 class engines share the same design. The difference is in the cylinder. While the classic is a normal cylinder, the cs has larger transfer ports and the csts has the same larger transfer ports with twin spark. Not sure the...

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Will do. When I acquired this engine, I got it from my friend who is now flying the high dollar four strokes. He bought it new and only put 1 gallon through it. There was one on GiantScaleNews last night. Marvin bought it for $305. My friend flew this engine on a 33 pound old Hangar 9 330. It was...

    Thank you. Was very time consuming but what else ya gonna do when you're healing a broken foot? Lol I do try to keep all my planes clean and well kept. The 157cs out performs every engine in its class and the only 170 class engine I am aware of that it can't beat is the CS or csts version...

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    After a little flying today, my son and I decided to take advantage of the sunny day. He needed to dial in his Pilot 330 with the BE 124. It's been running superb, but spring maintenance on a new plane and motor was necessary. We also took the opportunity to fire up the 3w 70 on the Pitts. Good...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I recovered the plane in Dec. 2012. The motor...157cs was brand new when the plane maidened April 2013. Since then, she's logged about 130 plus flights at my command. (About 210'ish from previous owner.) The 157 now has roughly 13 or so gallons through her. Getting stronger every flight. Swings...
