    Xpress builds a 115 AJ Laser - PICTURE HEAVY!

    genius.... Dremel keeps putting out some cool products. Tanner that engine is a beast. Ever thought about smoking this setup or any setup? I can't say I've seen you billowing smoke... (I haven't... I should shut my mouth) Maybe California frowns upon anything resembling smoke.... :confused...

I hear this guy yell LOWER!!!!! so I went down to three feet... LOWWWWEEEERRRR!!!! one foot.... LOWERRRRR!!!!!! -0.05 feet LOL...

    Welcome Dustin! I have assembled a GP Waco 72" for a buddies LHS as a static display, No engine or servos. This was maybe three years ago, I remember it going together well and an overall nice ARF. Please share your assembly!!!

    Engine selection for H9 Beaver 30cc

    I've come across assembly threads on this bird, evolution 33 or VVRC40 with the VVRC being better on floats from FLYRC. You can find it on you tube with a 3cyl radial and an FG-40. The EME35 would be a good coice too... electric start anyone???

    Gotcha, I'm looking for some hefty 6S batteries for the Turbo Bushmaster to increase the flight times over 6min... with my 4200mAh - which are hard to beat for $80 and in the US. http://www.headsuphobby.com/222v-4200mah-50C-EZ-Flite-Pro-Lipo-Battery-w-T-Plug_p_1803.html Leaning towards pulling...

    Went flying finally!! Four gas tanks and four 6S batteries drained! Had to level the field a bit with the truck. It’s feeling like spring finally. Remaidened my 73” AJ laser with the new transmitter, in eventful, very happy to be flying my gasser again. Spring mud fling! Worked on my 3D knife...

    Costco! I’ve had them for quite some time now and they haven’t seem to get dull with all the abuse I have put them through. Most of my cutting was a strait edge with a xacto blade though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Need some advice on a new 30cc 3D plane.

    ha ha WOW! Ive heard of guys putting a DA50 on a Extreme Flight 76" MXS, the real question is how does it balance out? Overkill... most definitely, but true 30cc planes were closer to 70" when the 35cc came out... then they got a little bigger, people started putting 40cc engines up front. I...

    I'm an ultracote fan as well. I started off using monokote but it's not as forgiving as ultracote when it comes to stretching and heat tolerance IMO. Plus the ultracote wax paper backing verses the peel off back... peel off is lame when it comes to patch work. I've tried the tower stuff, and it...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I had an older club member tell me about using the original Windex (with ammonia) to warp wood, it apparently softens the wood/glue temporary to let it curve better. I have not tried it. Being from Alaska, you use what you have lying around. You could probably pick up ammonia in a 5 gal bucket...

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    Thanks for your input and sharing the success you had with the RCGF 21cc, I do believe I had a lemon. It was unfortunately was never reliable enough for me. Mostly my idle and throttle response were lacking. Glad the video helped! The 21T sounds pretty good doesn’t it!! Sent from my iPhone...
