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

    Worked on the cowling vents. Going to block the tunnel. I like making a design.... this one looks like one of those Hawaiian(?) warrior faces (two eyes with its tongue sticking out, maybe a couple arms if I may). Gives he plane character that’s for sure. Added craft foam baffles, blocked the...

    1/6 scale sig clipped cub. Hasn’t flown in... almost ten years. She’s a beat up hangar queen, my only dope and fabric model and my first kit rc plane ever almost 15 years old lol. And no, never flown it on the skis, I would imagine it would swan dive. Plane did fly wonderfully though in its...

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

    Well, getting there! Finished the the throttle servo mount, the capt America minion’s seat- raised his shield and sewed him to the back... I should have just used a couple zip ties. Lol. All servos in place, need to do some more trimming on the cowling and radio linkage/programming. I was going...

    Sticker price is high... I was looking at JETI for a while too. Based in the UK mainly so there is always that. No touch screen which is a huge selling point for me when it comes to a new radio. I personally like the 16/18SZ screen, and reliability. I feel like Spectrum has growing pains, but...

    Not to mention the new 14ch receiver is not supposed to be available until February... so no 14ch receivers are even available unless you bind two 7ch rx’s... frustrating. I love the reliability on my Futaba gear, but like JR, seems like productivity has slowed down when it comes to keeping up...

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    I tried to go flying, but I guess it wasn’t meant to be?! Got near the flying field and fog was everywhere, few droplets of rain, debated for a while as the fog dissipated a bit, decided to unlock the gate and then I found gate damage. Someone accidentally slid on the water covered ice and...

    I agree with you! Maybe invest in some decal covers when they become available.

    Thanks for the heads up. I’m hoping there won’t be a ton of stress on the tiller arm. Thought about doing the Fuel tubing trick on it instead. The carbon is too stout, I agree. Not a whole lot of any give... we’ll see how it holds up!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shame on me for not posting in here regularly. Putting together my 540T EXP, installed a TDRC 20-40cc tailwheel... about 3/8” shorter than the original tailwheel, but looks a bunch cooler. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    This is kind of turning into a radio debate... But I give in!!! I want Hitec resolution and pricing, with a 18SZ or 12X interface, and Spectum PowerSafe Receivers with satellite Rx's. Maybe I just need to go back to the late 90's and just buy crystals for whatever Rx I wanted.... :thumbsdown: I...
