The I'm NOT going out flying thread.
16F right now, plus winter solstice = 6 hours of daylight. Isn't even enough time to top charge the batteries, and put on warm clothes!! The good news is the air is still and the sky is blue, quite graceful flying weather if it wasn't for the temps!- AKNick

Futaba SBus Questions
That's what I'm thinking too. Might be an excuse for me to upgrade my 8FG to the 16/18SZ so I can have more plug and play channels.- AKNick

Futaba SBus Questions
Maybe someone can help me figure this out. Can you use any programmable servo for SBUS or do they have to be SBUS servos? Here is what I am thinking about doing: Futaba R6208SB is running out of channels to plug into. I'm curious if I can program two HS-7955TG (all surfaces using this servo)...- AKNick

News Great Planes dealers beware
So I've been hearing rumors that Great Planes is loosing vendors (ie: Traxxas) quite quickly and the support has been dropping off as well. My LHS was thinking that GP is not going to come out on top, but Hobbico is a huge company so hopefully they get their heads out of the sand and back in the...- AKNick

Futaba 16sz
Personally I'd wait out the IX12 and let them work out the bugs if any. Seems like any first gen product is going to have a little growing pains. I've been eyeing the 18SZ for a long time, biggest set back for me would be the $1K... Pricepoint on the IX12 and 16SZ is VERY appealing. I have been...- AKNick

Cool The I'm going out flying thread 2017
Some of the best flying days for me are winter as well. I have a certain criteria for different planes when it comes to weather as do most of us I'd imagine. No wind with the sun out is definitely the key. One thing that helps with the radio and lipos is to leave them in the truck with the...- AKNick

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
The little edge is almost ready. Made a servo arm for the elevator, custom wire extensions to the tail and for the aileron hookups, just need to set up the servo arms and linkages on the ailerons, then check out the CG. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- AKNick

Install a Smoke System
Well you want it directed at the exhaust if it’s an atomizer but not into the exhaust, or so close it can get sucked back in. You would want it close to the header to have the smoke heat up as much as possible. The idea is to drill and tap the location, I’m going to try a Bad Dog Smoke Nozzle...- AKNick
