    Half Scale Saab JAS 39 Gripen Takes Flight — Video

    Unbelievable... that thing lands as slow as some trainers. Wow.

    Rebuilding the Yak...again.

    True, but really not much can be changed regarding the landing gear plate area. The problem is, this is one heavy beast. She comes in over 50 lbs. dry. If I bolted into just hardwood blocks, the risk of sheering that block out every time I landed would be really huge. Right? The way this plane...

    Rebuilding the Yak...again.

    Guaranteed if the wood had not been free, this big ole beast would have been stripped. Paying the nearly 200 for shipping the wood and the covering replacement cost was bad enough. Including the loss of a brand new 34x12 Falcon, the reeds for the 210, the aluminum carb base, wheel spats...

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    I've been absent from your build thread for some time. Summer flying and other stuff seems to always interfere huh? I found my way back and am not at all surprised at the really cool "tech-y" stuff you've done. This is still the best "scale" build I have ever seen. I can't wait to see it done...

    Rebuilding the Yak...again.

    I sure hope so. I just al-most...called it quits on rebuilding it. You see, I need to get this piece out to replace it. But in order to get this piece out, I first need to take out that piece. But before I can take out that piece, I have to remove those pieces. But to get those pieces out out, I...

    Rebuilding the Yak...again.

    I got quite a bit accomplished on the Yak today. I actually got the entire left side of the fuse back to F37A completely disassembled and now waiting on replacement wood from Pilot RC. I have to retract my previous statement about this being a lot of work. Actually, by using my heat gun to...

    I really like this idea. What exactly are you using to hang those boyz from by their gear?

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I can now see why you, Robert (@Robotech) and so many others say this is an addiction. I and my son are pretty hooked and can't wait till we can start competing regularly. I am just really thrilled that no matter how well you fly, you have a really great time either way. I am thinking this is a...

    While I am very happy for both of you getting some flight time and having a really great Sunday, I will also offer, Ya'll ain't playing fair. Talking about the awesome weather and then tossing in that 70's temperature comment. All the while, we still be suffernin' the sub and on the money 100's...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Flying IMAC today. I just completed my first round and it is quite evident I was a little nervous and a touch shaky. (Stepping into the unknown is spooky) I have however drawn an initial conclusion to this IMAC stuff. "It's for the birds as far as I'm concerned!". Big birds with bodacious...

    NEW servo mount

    Lemme aks ya a couple questions. Does that "custom" mount handle different manufacturers servo brands? Or is it just for one particular brand of servo? Reason I submit this quandary is I have a similar mount designed. The rubber bands I supply with mine accept all major brand servos. One...

    Rebuilding the Yak...again.

    Fighting a nasty migraine this morning and the onset of a late summer cold, I muddled through a little work on the Yak this morning. I wanted to put back together some of the broken carnage so I had some what of a template to go from when the new replacement wood arrives. The worst part of a...

    Rebuilding the Yak...again.

    I wanted to get more done yesterday, but I was kind of spent by the time I got my friends Edge finished up. I ordered some new tools to help separate the pieces without causing more damage. My old tools are...well, old. I want to do this right and it's going to require better hand tools. I'll...

    Rebuilding the Yak...again.

    The tear down has begun. I started with the forward belly sheeting and stringers. I figured that would be a good place to start. It's interesting once you get a few things out of the way, how quickly and easily the assessment of the damage can be done. I feel this rebuild is completely "do-able"...
