    So.... in ordering the wing tubes, would it be better to get the .035 wall thickness or would it be best to get the .049? Will there be much of a weight difference between the two? If so, how much? Same price either way, just want to make sure I have enough strength.

    I have been looking at different schemes. I have an idea of what I want in my head. But getting it to the covering table is another story. I like Blue with white, some reds, not too many greens...black and silver are options. And I do really like the Pearl Purple that Pilot RC uses on the their...

    Now why didn't I think of that? I wonder if it is too late to do this mod? Probably so since I already have the forward hatch stringers in place. I guess I could always remove them, design a former and re-stringer it right? Hmmm!!!! I also put in the top turtle deck stringers and the lower...

    Advanced Aerobatics — Mastering the Rolling Circle

    Awesome information. This maneuver is the one I have worked on...and struggled with the most this year. Getting close, but still need a bit of refinement.

    Oh I much prefer the jig over plans. It seems like every time I've built over plans something just doesn't seem right. The jig method and your design is so freaking easy. I am sure that the warp in The jig is nothing to worry about at this time. Like I said, I weighted it down in the center and...

    So far, it's a cool idea. Seems to hold everything in alignment. The only thing I noticed with mine is they are slightly warped. So to make sure all fuse supports were in place solidly I simply put a heavy weight right in the middle of the jig. It's ok for now but suspect I'll have to do...

    I do. But I think I want to do an MXS. Been watching Rob Holland this evening. WOW! That plane will do some pretty funky stuff. I just love that upright and inverted "Frisbee" he does. That looks hella cool. Think "Baby" will do them? hee hee

    So I did do a little bit more on the Pitts this evening. Weird... I just can't seem to pull myself away from it. I am going to have to soon though. I am quickly running out of things I can do without having all the stringers available. Oh well, not like I don't have other projects. After framing...

    I just kind of dinked around today. Not really a lot accomplished as I am waiting on wood to arrive. I did however start "sandwiching" the leading edge of the Stab and the trailing edges of the elevators. Really not all that intelled. Just a matter of spreading some Gorilla, laying out the 3...

    Hmm, never thought of that David. But since you mentioned it, you're very correct. "DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME....IF YOU ARE MARRIED". LOL I actually heard about the "canopy" issue. Been filled in on the proper procedure of getting that darn plastic to make that sharp curve over the top former so it...

    Coming from you, I take this as quite the compliment. Thank you. I am very anxious to get this built. I think it is going to be tons of fun.

    Thanks guys.... I decided to use the Gorilla. I think it "tacks" just a tad quicker. I was able to get the Pitts on the table and jig today. I started by disassembling the prefit parts. Who says your dinner table is for eating meals? hee hee.... After separating all the required parts for the...

    Back to the JTEC Pitts today. Got things set up and layed out. Separated the fuse pieces and began assembling. I'll post some photos in a bit. Just curious here. One suggestion for glue is "Titebond". I am kind of partial to the Gorilla Wood glue. Any of you use it? What's the preferred glue...

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    I think you will discover that you will really like setting up individual servo (flight control) channels. It just makes refining your throws so easy and right on a "knats ass" accurate. Doesn't matter if you're running JR, Futaba, Spektrum, Hitec or any other radio brand. As for your rudder...

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    Ok...so this is actually an easy fix. The problem is not your servos, the speeds or anything related. That is unless you are using two different type servos for Ailerons, two different for elevators, etc. As long as you use the "same" servo for each control surface, (i.e., 1268's on "BOTH"...
