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

    Been thinking about designing and 3D printing some ski's.. . because I can. My experience with most ski's is that they are too small to stay on top of the snow. The Dubro skis are a measly 9" and about 3" wide. It would be a lot easier to make them out of carbon I think. Which reminds me, I...

    NEW Hitec Servo! HS-488HB

    I think it's a bold move for them. Universal servo teeth means anyone who has MKS, ProModeler, Savox, Futaba, ect can switch to the mighty Hitec without getting a different servo arm. The D series is a splendid update to say the least.

    Discussion The I’m going out flying thread 2018

    Finally went flying, temps just below 50F, slight shifting breeze made it kinda unique and fun, no rain! got about 30min of flying with the 73" laser on the new Redline Oil. I must say it doesn't smell as good as the STHL Ultra. Engine sounded great after the first 10 min. Didn't have to adjust...

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

    16 gallons of glow... WOW I used to go through about six before switching to electrons and gasoline. I go through about 5-6 gallons of gasoline each year and I only have two 35cc planes! I so wish I had a field to fly at all day in the summer... who knows, maybe one day.

    Hey guys, just wanted to inform you that Dennis is getting out of the hobby and off the forums. Just issued me a refund on the goods I had pre ordered in June.

    Only if I can get @stangflyer to team up with me. I could use his technique of sugar coating a description into making anyone want whatever he is describing. But really... car salesman level 1000 LOL

    NEW Hitec Servo! HS-488HB

    $18/0.18/6V/83ozin/3pole ferrite/karbonite. What's interesting is the absence of a phillips head screw and the use of an allen head! Also 25 tooth spline like Futaba... Is Hitec going this direction instead of the 24T?

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    There goes my float pond. Will probably thaw out again, but I think this means it’s time to hang the floats and put on wheels or get some skis

    I was concerned about switching because I haven’t found anywhere that suggests it uses fuel stabilizers like STHL Ultra... still looking
