    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    Not much accomplished yet (as usual lol ) .The new "raised" landing gear block is laminated 3/4" hard ply sandwiched between 1/8" light ply. Will cut to length and contour the ends to fit the fuse. The thickness of the materials puts the bottom of the CF LG flush with the fuse.

    3D Viper 120cc ARF is HERE!!!!!

    That happened to a few guys I know of also. But they used CA to glue the rod ends in:face-palm:. I used JB weld. I would not do them with a big gasser. Just a trust factor. I did have success though with smaller planes and even the 30 cc Edge I dumbed thumbed to the dirt:face-palm:.

    3D Viper 120cc ARF is HERE!!!!!

    I used to do the hollow carbon rods with the 4-40 titanium ends. Very strong and light. But now I'm an old lazy and just use whatever is in the box as long as it wont bend like a noodle.

    Turnigy TGY-i10 full telemetry 10 ch computer radio

    Yes it is. First thoughts of mine out of the box.......... Padded grips give me a secure feeling when holding the radio and it is "single patty" cheeseburger thick and not double cheeseburger thick like my other Futaba's and it is light. Gimbals feel smooth and solid and for a mode 2 radio the...

    Saito 61cc Four Stroke Gas Engine, NEW!

    Gen Saito did what I could not get YS to do ( I used to write to the Yamada's about a large bore boxer twin). And now his legacy unfolds to the big gas engine arena! YS did do a proto 120 twin before releasing the original F-120. I used to have pictures but got lost between desk top computer...
