    Me too Rob. This last time out I looked like a rooky pilot trying his first trainer landing. Oh the humiliation! More upset at myself than the plane really.

    I remember when they first came out with the aluminum rod you could use a propane torch with........My work looked like melted candle wax. I then tried to Tig myself........My work looked like melted candle wax. I remember when .......

    Ok I have got my temper tantrum out of the way and can focus now on what needs to get done to make this thing not just sound and look awesome but FLY AWESOME. 1.Correcting the stab incidence (Going to set it at 0 degrees). I will measure the current "as built" setting ( looking at it from the...

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

    Only thing I have done in the shop is clean up poo. (Dirty Jobs episode 6.) Have not even got my new plane out of the van since Saturday. Such "High" expectation and to only realize more shop time for it. Think I will let it set there and simmer just like my attitude right now :face-palm:. I...

    Futaba rx antenna mounting

    Just make sure the antennae lead outs are 90 from each other. I have had excellent results with just the last 2 inches or so doing the 90 apart for smaller air frames. Excellent results with most of the lead outs at 90 apart too. Does not matter if the 90 apart is up down sideways etc etc. I...

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    Thanks @Jetpainter . I was going from the weight told by the owner of the plane in the vid. He said about pound and a half for every thing. I did weigh the 2-n-1 with the custom muff and it was 11.6 oz total after cutting the inlet and stacks to size. The header uncut weighed 4.2 oz and 3.8 oz...

    Earlier in the thread I recommended this plane and still do. I just happened to get the crap one with problems. Buy this plane from the other vendors that sell it and will support it. Dealing directly with, you know, has not been the greatest of experiences.

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    The plane did some awesome tumbling with the huge control surfaces but trying to control everything was way difficult because of the right thrust and stab incidence. In a hover the plane would always pull left with a lot of right rudder. Knife Edge (both directions) the plane will pull hard to...
