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

    The key is in my words... "that cell"... the other side was barely even warm. So yeah, for some reason it has a buildup of internal resistance at that once cell leading to get that hot. Thanks for those numbers too! I've always had trouble determining the Charge rate for lipos... 1C??? can...

    Let’s Talk Fuel Lines!

    Thanks for posting this, Like I was saying before the trick is getting the right wall thickness so it cannot flop over and kink on itself. I'll have to check the stuff that PSP sent me, I think it must be the 1/8" with the 1/8" or 3/32" wall... not he 1/16"!! Are folks using this for smoke...

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

    I did re glue them together with welders, curious if I should cut a clean line to sever the airlerons and do the blenderm to welders trick to improve the flexibility. It see's like the welders makes everything stiff, and the EPP hinges sure dont help with the flexibility. Iv hear of guys cutting...

    Install a Smoke System

    I'm debating whether to dust off my TME smoke pump, or just buy a Power Box Smoke pump. Anyone have issues with the TME's?? I like the idea of no check valve with the powerbox.

    Basically yes. I bent my resistor end up towards the opening and positive contact with the little spring. It touches the opposite side of the boot. Pretty much... I would take a good reference from another cap to get the idea. The overall method seems primitive Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    Flew the Laser a couple times yesterday after finally figuring out how to re tune the needles properly. Two 13min flights drew 656mAh with a 5 min warm up.
