    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    I got mine a while back from tail dragger RC. They don’t sell just the connectors anymore. You can buy them pre made from several people these days, just not the specific. Length you need. The connectors come in red, Black, and more commonly found as green. I don’t think there is a difference...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Made the other half of my MPX connectors. I must have deleted my photos of the finished product. I like the Hanson hobbies wire, easy to work with and crimps nice. I’m using the blue for the left and green for the right. Also made the elevator wire extensions. Glued a ply tray near the...

    Agreed! Pretty silly they cannot sell me an antenna regardless.

    The NEW King of Standard Size Servos - HSR-M9382TH

    The D950TW are coreless. Also, why doesn't Hitec post 8.4v specs like the other companies? A lot of folks are running 2 cell direct LiPo's and those numbers would be nice for comparison... is there a reason? I remember you saying most of all the Hitec servos can handle 8v no prob. You're...

    The NEW King of Standard Size Servos - HSR-M9382TH

    Oooooo I'll have to look into these ones, online price seems good for what they have to offer. Thanks, I'll keep them in mind.

    The NEW King of Standard Size Servos - HSR-M9382TH

    Right??? I have a few PM's but time will tell on how they hold up. I'm looking for some servos for the 91ARS300, haven't decided where to end up on yet. Those 9380's sound pretty sweet, but may break the bank for me. Piggy bank has already been interrogated, threatened, beaten, and eventually...

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    I'll hop on that "always wanted one" train too. My first gasser was almost a Redwing Yak-55, those guys were willing to drop ship from china to me... ended up with an AJSlick. At any rate, the Yak-55 is one cool bird.

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    Don't worry about it! Even some come with heat shrink to protect the center conductor (aka Antenna) coming out of the gray shielding section of the coax. It covers about half the exposed antenna. I also saw that one of your antennas appears to be kinked. I had one kink recently on my 7014SB that...

    The NEW King of Standard Size Servos - HSR-M9382TH

    Noted! Thanks for sharing your insight! Fan boy 9380 Alert! LOL. What about the PAD? Can you tell me more about that little guy? Most of us like the 1270 because it's your best bang for your buck. It's not in the same class not being brushless. It's a little unfair to compare that servo to the...

    Seemed only fair to create a meme for the third time I’ve done this with this exact plane. I’m switching to GAS. Ha ha.

    3D Printing General Discussion

    Thanks, that means a lot! Eventually I'm going to have enough "finished products" I'm going to have to try and see if other people would like them or share the design online.

    Rolla MO Big Bird Fly-in. Sept 20-22, 2019

    I'm with @Snoopy1 on this. Wish I could be there, sounds like a super fun time!! :cryin: If I packed up my truck and drove it would take a ferry, and 3.1k miles. Google tells me its a 70 hour drive. Even with all those AWESOME raffles, it would be more cost effective to buy them LOL. Even flying...

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

    I probably could have gotten a better answer if I just called. Wonder what it would take to re-certify an RC component with an FCC sticker? My experience here tells me that Futaba USA is very limited in what they can do right now. They don't even have antennas!! He told me to send it in and the...

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

    I've been debating with FutabaUSA. LOL. If your FCC sticker is no longer stuck to your receiver they will not replace your antenna unless you have proof of purchase in which they will.... (I forsee stickers being peeled off and restuck to a different reciever, or sending a proof of purchase for...

    AR MagSwitch Booma RC

    I didn't see one specifically as well. http://boomarc.com/en/magnetic-switch-for-spektrum-powersafe-receivers-and-smartfly Looks the same. I'm going to see if my Jeti magnetic key will also work... before spending $35 on a magnet.
