    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    Why not grind away the area it's touching and reinforce around that? I don't think the extra prop clearance would be an issue on the Yak cosmetically.

    Got new gaskets from DA, also another gasket kit for the carb, except this time I changed the diaphragm needle as well. Fingers crossed she runs like she used to.

    IMAC Scratch build Laser 200

    Well. Not a bad idea. Imagine they are built flat. One could extend the material at the outskirts of the areas that the stringers attach to. It all boils down to how much time you want to invest in it. I would think lightening holes and beefed up supports would be the way to go. Look at modern...

    IMAC Scratch build Laser 200

    PLA? PETG? What percentage infill if any? Very intrigued that they are lighter than ply! 4mm is a good choice for thickness in my opinion, if any smaller it wouldn't have anything to bond to and would be subject to flexing. I've never played with bonding 3DP parts, I am also curious what your...

    Anybody have any experience with these Blue Birds, @49dimes probably? I saw some posts about issues with Futaba gear and Blue Birds, I think it had to do with line voltage or something? Is this still an issue, or should I stay clear? BMS-2109 $38 266-372 0.05-0.07 Ti/Coreless (Could be a...
