    AR MagSwitch Booma RC

    This excites me! I have a jeti magnetic switch, but it doesn't have redundancy, and I didn't like the connections that well. A lot of us are used to the AR Pin Flag Switches and their reliability... This is that pin-flag switch updated with a magnetic switch instead. I've forgotten my magnetic...

    The NEW King of Standard Size Servos - HSR-M9382TH

    Interesting... $185-195 472 oz/in @ 6.0/7.4V 0.14/0.17 6/7.4v Nice to see servos getting updates. Lots of good things but speed is a little slow for my taste buds.

    Maybe one day! 8" is a pretty good size, and superior to those OEM wheels.

    Wicked! Those AirTops are nice! I would have grabbed them if I hadn't snagged a used pair of PR's. What is your opinion on them?

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    I think I found a good solution for getting a larger prop for the DLE55 to fit a 3" spinner without a center bolt. No Limitz Spinners only have four bolts rather than six like EF and falcon...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Right? I wonder why I have to grind away at it to fit my props too. I wish they provided a template for what prop your using. This is the same spinner I used for my 73” laser w/da35. I’m looking into the miracle center bolt spinners or a carbon center bolt spinner.

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

    Driving home at 1:15am. Had to stay a few minutes late to write up our inop time clock. Thank you Lord! I would have been pancaked buy a cluster of 8 or so trees. I was the first on scene of what tripped the power. It’s been dry, I think they got uprooted by the 40mph gusts. My wife asked why I...

    3" Falcon Spinner with a 23x8 CF Falcon Prop. I e-mailed Falcon Propellers yesterday to inquire about fitment since there is no information stating that their prop wont work with this spinner or any combo for that matter. Would be nice to see a fitment guide or spreadsheet for their line of...

    Its a little tricky with the engine in there, It's about 6-7/8" to 6-15/16" by my calculations or about 175mm.

    Each tire is 1lb 2oz... Where did you find 8.5" wheels! 8" AirTops are the closest I can find: http://www.espritmodel.com/wheels-large-inflatable-tundra-airtop-w-ball-bearings-140---200mm.aspx

    Spinner is fine, it just doesn't accommodate the 23x8 Falcon prop.... LE and TE of the prop hit the mounting holes.

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    I have a bunch of wiring left to do, routing, throttle linkage, and battery/receiver. placement. Need to investigate my spinner options again. So this was the best time to check the CG, and check the weight. My calculations put this beast at 19.6lbs. Horizon says it’s 17-19, but with the...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    2” arms on the wings from NWRC in a pretty blue. Found a good way to support the wires on the ignition. Added a grommet in the tunnel cover, ignition power on the right side through the floorboard and the hall sensor wire on the left and through the engine box. A little copper ultra for...

Im sure 3W testing has used it for this application and is fine though.

    Played with my tailwheel some more. Added my signature lol and revised some corners and edges. Took just under 3hrs to print. I print slow. Talk about deflection! Pretty happy with my little wheel geometry. Finally got the rudder cables set up. With a strait arm there is positive Ackerman...
