Yippee! What the postman brought
A lot of people are happy with them, They are one of the heavier 70cc motors on the market out there. I'd look up some reviews on how other folks are working out their CG with the XCub. Who knows, maybe it needs more weight, in that case, you could even get the remote starter version ha ha! I...- AKNick

GP 76 twin gas engine
Wanted to do a comparison of the 70cc class motors now that the specs are mostly out on the GP-76. The GP76 is only 0.213"/5.41mm Wider cap-cap, 0.19"/4.826mm Longer Mount-Hub, and 0.088lbs/40g Heavier (without muffs or ign) than the DA70. so less than 1/4" dimensionally and under 1/10lb...- AKNick

GP 76 twin gas engine
Looks like pre-orders can be made through Mile High RC. Makes me wish I had an airframe.... maybe I should change that???? I usually don't like being the test rabbit on a new product though... $660 shipped. Expected end of the month, shipping mid April. http://www.milehighrc.com/GP76.html- AKNick

Optical Kill Switch as On/Off?
+1 for the Tech Aero Ultra IBEC. It has an optio isolator and redundant filters in place and saves a bunch of weight eliminating the need for an extra battery and switch thus eliminating that failure point.- AKNick

Discussion Onboard On/Off Switches
I had the dual switch Miracle anodized red with a fuel port in my 71" slick with a DLE35RA that I abused for three years until I smashed the plane into the earth/water. (avatar photo plane). I rewired the charge port to accommodate charging my A123 batteries. No issues. I will say that after...- AKNick

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Well, I think TaildraggerRC does not stock blue birds anymore, just the XPERT servos these days. I asked for a quote A921/A920's from blue bird directly. Took about a week from my RFQ. They said they are the same price $41.99USD each, shipping not included. She said I could buy from their US...- AKNick

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Finally got the guts to drill the wing hold down bolts on the super otter. Also, there was a USFS open house about development 30-50yr plans. We’ve attended countless meetings and even more public comments on our clubs sustainability. We were happy to see a little side note about our...- AKNick

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Played with the Super Otter horizontal stab and elevator. Put the tips on and repurposed a crack yak spar as a horizontal stiffener and elevator counter balance supports. Opted to go with Robert style (GP) pinned hinges. So now all of that is done, I need to finish shaping it. Might drill some...- AKNick
