IMAC Scratch build Laser 200
I have some TPU sitting around. I need to give it a whirl!! Looks like a CR-10? Any tips for a guy who has been using PLA to try out TPU setting wise? I wonder how the tire will hold up under torsion or even rocks for that matter. WAY cool, I haven't seen anyone accomplish this yet. Way to go!- AKNick

Twin turbine RC B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber
Oooff, fortunate bump indeed... Just curious when it was time to abort that takeoff? or how? Not sure how ground steering works on a delta wing with a row of tires on either side. The landing was in the opposite direction, was there any wind? Looks like the forward momentum with the reverse... -

The marine style has adhesive in it and is a little thicker I think. The idea is that it seals the exposed wire and wont allow the elements to seep into the insulation or components. This is what to use on the snake skin looming because not only will it keep the braided looming from fraying, but...- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Made my MPX connectors for both wings. Still need to make the receptacles but I also need to figure out where to put the receiver(s). And the batteries, or basically finish up everything else and do that last for CG. Using the marine heat shrink, and added hot glue in between the pins for...- AKNick

Much better. Still on a diet though... need to enclose it a bit more. Color makes a big difference too. Version 3 is being printed now.- AKNick

Mine came without wrinkles, I used some blue tape in between the ailerons and flaps, peeled it off and the red trim came with it. So hit it all with an iron anyways.- AKNick

LOL! I said it was a TANK. WAY too big. It's on a diet in CAD and being reprinted in silver as a version 2. I still think it'll be an improvement over the stock hard foam wheel, and it's cheap.... the optional scale tail wheel is expensive, so I'm making my own ha ha.- AKNick

All I can say is that it’s a tank. Need to trim it up and make it smaller/thinner. My concept design works though! Looking at a 2” wheel in there. It will be printed in silver eventually- AKNick

Spent a large portion of my morning trying to get my printer to behave. Used my other printer, with better success. I failed to set up my supports, but for a concept it works.- AKNick

Are you using the V2 tanks? I really like the V1's but the V2's I'm skeptical about. I don't like how you have to CA the lines in place, and the vent tubes appear kinked at the bend. They are probably the lightest tank on the market though.- AKNick

Designed a tail wheel bracket for my 110” timber... couple little things left and then time to print it. OEM is 1.4” wheel, this would be for a 1.75-2” wheel- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Not sure what size fuel tank to put in here for my 55... I'd imagine a 20 oz would be perfect. Since I cannot find a 20oz tank, I went with a 24oz... Seems way too big to me. Anybody have insight to a DLE55 flight times with a 17 or 24 oz tank?- AKNick

Hard to beat I think. It's stronger than a 35cc, reliable, 100% serviceable if it's a little too worn out, just send it in!- AKNick
