    Sketching up something new that I think everyone can appreciate. Tech Aero Holder. Pretty rainy day here so my concept design is getting there on paper. Let’s see how well I can draw it on the computer. And @Snoopy1 . . . I have incorporated servo grommets, just need to measure them out still...

    never said they wouldn't.... maybe I should have said; 'I need to track down a good source of servo grommets' lol Maybe the SAVOX SP02 servo grommet set? $2.29

    Horizon still doesn't have the info on the optional bush tires. But I believe that these are indeed PR Bushwheels. Looks like they say Positive Reproduction on the side aka PR Bushwheels. https://www.prbushwheels.com/

    Yup, the 45 inverted upline will let you know, just make sure you center your elevator before you try this! I literally chased my tail trying to do this one time. ha When you said bolt weight to the firewall my first impression was... that would make it nose heavy....LOL push me pull me says...

    Good Point! The answer is I really didn't think about it. If I find a suitable grummet for the job, I may transition my designs to incorporate that mounting method. Thanks for the input, always appreciated! I must say I hate vibration though!

    Been working on a receiver holder for a Futaba R7014SB. The idea is that I can put craft foam on the sides and 1/4” Dubro foam under the receiver. Then you can glue the tray or Velcro it to the plane. Took me about 4-5hours to draw up, prototype and make a version two which looks good to me...

    It’s tougher in Alaska they say... we are looking at a new field... it’s like finding gold for us, but impending disasters with the nearby obstructions. There are no such things as an open field where I live, so the owners of this private property want to allow us to fly here. We’ve been flying...

    Discussion The I’m going out flying thread 2018

    This is why my builds take so long... Living in Alaska I'm limited to my options and shipping is ridiculous. I've seen guys use solid turnbuckles from the hardware store for standoffs. I would personally find the one you want and order it. What size standoff are you looking for? Evolution makes...

    Ended up going with the Turnigy 5000 6S 60C from HK, couldn't beat the price anywhere else for the size and shipping was free when I bought three.... and these particular Lipos had a good rep. They gained 1-1.5min of flight time in comparison to my 4200's and overall no performance loss or...

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

    If I were to purchase a new PC, I would assemble it. They are so much cheaper to assemble with very high quality parts in comparison. Honestly if one can put together an ARF, they can do a computer too. Just learning the lingo is the hardest part. A company I used to work for started to build...

    Can never really win sometimes... I feel ya, I've been wanting to get a 12-14" laptop pumped up with SSD and some graphics... price starts climbing fast. Realized I like the DELL XPS 13 but... 1.8K is killing me. I used to have a 17" XPS dell that I ran realflight off of but that thing was a...

    Pretty satisfied with how it fits with the battery. Not sure how I feel about battery vibration protection though. It fits snug. I will have to redesign it from scratch to make room for foam or Velcro. Also a lot of weight being hung by four screws, small bolts would be ok though I think. The...
