    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Got the XCub spring gear in the mail. Axels are enormous 5/16” so they do not fit my enormous PR Bushwheels... go figure. I have some 1/4” axels... oh go figure again... just barely over 1/4”!! Do not fit. Went to the hardware store, found some 1/4” plated bolts, and a couple bronze sleeves...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    It’s too bad. Even when he gives my the buddy rate, it’s just a little more than what I can get it for. No problem, I’m supporting my friend. But when they don’t fill his back order and post them online and push his (my) order back because of it is pretty low. Which is why we decided to try the...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Well the 110" Timber is in stock online!!! I called my LHS and inquired about it. He said his queue still says back ordered with an updated ETA in late August. Also the online shipping calculator quoted me $34 2nd day air... We were both shocked! He told me to pull the trigger online and see...

    Gotta be careful with cutting any glass. snips may make it de laminate. I'd suggest a hack saw with a hardened metal blade, or a bandsaw

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

    Ouch.... I always feel like those companies are just there to kick you when your down. Feels more like theft than a service sometimes. I have no problem paying the guys to replace what ever when I cant do it myself, but I regularly see a 300% increase of part cost here from what I can get online...

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

    I'm glad John wrote it. I'm curious about the POT sizes, guessing the mini vs standard servos have different pots, but maybe not... Edit: I've noticed he keeps editing the info. Including my question ha ha. So it's not a quote. But he used the guts of my question.

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

    Wrote John at ProModeler an e-mail about throttle servo choices for gassers and for info about using mini servos last night. Today I get an e-mail of an article he published today answering my question (yes that's my question he posted). WAY COOL!!!!! His explination in detail is too nice not to...

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

    Hmmm, really depends on his budget and what size planes he's into. The DX9 is nice, have several friends using that radio at a good price point too. Futaba is pricing themselves higher than the competitors right now. I would say that in the 9CH range options are limited. They make an 8, 10, 12...
