    GP 76 twin gas engine

    This was stolen from the other site. . . which also mentioned a possible release date in Jan/Feb. We shall see. A google search supplied me with this: https://blackravenaerosports.com/gp-76-coming-soon---priced-around-650-tbc-206-p.asp Est Price $650?

    GP 76 twin gas engine

    I think It's a 76cc Twin and there will be a 38cc single. I couldn't help but notice that Extreme Flight just announced they'll be carrying GP engines on the shelf... I can only assume this 76 will be a huge hit on the 90" class airframes.

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

    Sounds like every new radio I have ever played with. I'm pretty sure getting used to the navigational menus is the hardest part of any radio. I went from a Futaba 72Mz to a 7C, 8FG, and not the 18SZ each one programed differently. Before I purchased the 18SZ, I held a 18MZ at a LHS, it was...

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

    I have the 18SZ,aluminum sticks w/plastic gimbles I'm pretty sure. 2100 LiFe $1.3k no case (used to be $1.1K) the 18SZ 70th Anniversary is all aluminum. It had the price drop. . . But still more $$ than the regular 18SZ. 2100life $1.6K case incl 18MZ has aluminum sticks and plastic gimbles. 3500...

    IMAC Pattern - Cadence w/ DA 35

    Part of the reason for me going to electrons and gasoline. Hard to get this stuff in Alaska. I did our last club order and it took a lot of people to help and make it happen. That was probably ten years ago. Cool Power shipped truck to Seattle by a pallet, to a barge by tugboat through a...

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

    I was part of the pre-order on these this late fall. Excited to build it whenever it gets here! It's been a while since I have built a true kit, but a modern kit will be interesting!

    3DHS 75" EDGE 540 V2 Assembly Thread

    Research. I asked Ken at Subsonic Planes (He's the owner and hand winds the MotrolFly motors) what settings he would recommend. He gave me two recommendations for my setup: 8PWM or Outrunner mode and Timing LOW. PWM means Pulse Width Modulation and the number is in kHz (so 8Khz). The best...

    3DHS 75" EDGE 540 V2 Assembly Thread

    Maiden Complete with Video! This plane flies great. Floaty, has good power (maybe a little less than a 60" bird on my setup), responsive, and an overall locked in feel. A little nose heavy, since everything is moved back as far as I can without modification I may have to add weight to the...

    I’m going out flying thread 2019

    Here they increased the Class D airspace (permanently) for airline flight paths. Pretty lame, but luckily our club is still covered with out letter of agreement with the tower, faa, and USFS in certain locations. I need to work on another one for my float plane spot so I don't have to call the...
