    3DHS 75" EDGE 540 V2 Assembly Thread

    Then the "fun" part. 30Min epoxy one aileron at a time. I use a small mixing cup, and a round stir stick for mixing rod finish. If you need another minute of working time, spread it out over some aluminum foil to delay the cure time. The dowel/rod fits in the hinge pin holes great. I cut up some...

    Engine selection for H9 Beaver 30cc

    Bummer! At full throttle in the air, does the plane pull to that side? As in maybe the trust angle is off? Could have had one wheel on the axel/or pinched too tight? Might just need to be on the rudder more I haven't used red locktite in a very long time. Blue is the way to go!

    Engine selection for H9 Beaver 30cc

    Exciting!! With the full scale beaver, the ailerons are mushy. I've unofficially flown one. The rudder is where it's at. With all my tail draggers I refuse to limit my rates, Expo is great! Did you file a flat spot on the wheel collar for the set screw? blue locktite? I always have some sort of...

    3DHS 75" EDGE 540 V2 Assembly Thread

    Here is to what I'm sure is everybody's least favorite part about putting an ARF together. Hinging. I'll share what at this point seems to be the quickest method with good results. First, I'll make sure each hole is clean of any obstructions and allows the control surface to deflect without...

    75" 3DHS Edge 540 V2 Assembly Thread. Never quite sure where to start one of these threads, so here we go! I'll edit this page as I go. I've already started to build this, so I'll be adding pictures quickly. My build is looking like this: Motrolfly 4330-216kv...

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

    I made a video! Flying the 84" TurboBushmaster on floats. Man that took forever.... cut, import, cut cut cut, import, slice, transition transition, cut, import. Plane might be far away, but good scenery. LOL

    Discussion The I’m going out flying thread 2018

    ^^ Exactly^^ I brought this up in a recent Drone EXPO our local FAA FSDO put on and the local sUAS operators also chimed in and said there was 3-4 pallets of drones recently sold at our Costco and yet there are only a handful of part 107 operators out in our community... So why is it model...

    You get commission from Graupner don't you... seriously... quite the spokesman. I was reading this and next thing you knew my wallet had appeared on the table with the credit card showing... Had to slap myself out of it. LOL

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

    I'm still having growing pains with my 18SZ. I was flying my edge with smoke. I have several "conditions" so I can achieve triple rates. I found out today while I was flying that from DR to TR my smoke had less output. It appears that I somehow mixed it to my rates or the condition hierarchy...

    Question? Which brand LiPo battery to buy?

    Time will tell with cycles. The Graphene LiPos, should be lighter, have a higher charge rate with less internal resistance. That's the fuss, but it seems other than lower IR, they have about the same specs. ie: my Pulse 3700 6S 65C is 5grams heavier than my Revo 3700 6S 70C. dimensions are a...

    First larger plane

    Might be worth a e-mail to Ken at Subsonic planes. He hand winds his motors. on his website he sates the 4330-400 or -435 on 6S with a 19X8 pulling 2700W, I got the 4330-216 on 12S pulling max 3200W with a 20x8 per the specs. From what I've heard 12S on a 7X" planes feels like a 60" on 6S. The...

    Question? Hitec servo compare- mini vs micro

    TurboBushmaster, it's electric. either way, I'd go mini before ever deciding to use a micro in a gas plane!

    3D Printing General Discussion

    Nice! I like the coffee straws. They do seem larger diameter than what I've seen? Do you have a pic with an antenna in it? I'd be worried about vibration, although I'm sure it's fine. Thanks for sharing! You could make a dual one, 45deg, facing aft too! Curious what the antenna entrance looks...
