    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I bummed, my flying buddy told me at the last minute this morning that he wasn't going. After that I didn't feel like driving 35 minutes to find out there was no one else there since it's kinda windy. I wont fly by myself for safety reasons.:mad:

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I had planned to go flying his morning, but at the last minute my flying buddy Tony backed out. Since it was pretty windy I didn't feel like driving 35 minutes to see that there was no one else at he field. I wont fly by myself just for safety reasons. So, I decided to stay home and work on my...

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Last night I worked on my 3/8" spacer for my cowl. It all worked out pretty good. I made some 3/8" plywood spacers to for the areas where the cowl bolts on, then went around the perimeter with 3/8" balsa. This morning I carved and sanded everything flush with the outside. The cowl spacing is...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Everything is charged and ready to go for tomorrow. It's been over a month since I've been out, so I'm sure they've invented a bunch of new ridiculous new rules I'll be breaking on my first flight.:msn_slap:

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Well my statement that the serious wood butchering was over was premature. I decided I didn't like the spacing between the cowl and the prop so I decided to build some spacers to shim it out. I'm thinking 3/8" so tonight I glued up some blocks with 1/8" ply. Tomorrow I'll cut them up and test it...

    The stick bangers thread

    Thinking while your flying does get in the way now and then. :mad: I realized just how much when I was learning to fly a heli with my T-Rex 550e last year. On my fourth day out I decided to do my first nose in hovering. Now I did that all the time on the sim with ease, but with the real thing I...

    I got the other wing tip installed and shaped tonight. That should be the last of the serious wood butchering. I still have tons to do, but it's moving along.

    3D Shop Construction

    In 2012 my home was hailed on damaging the roof, gutters, and two sky lights. The first roofer gave me the runaround and kept trying to raise the price so I sent him on his way. The second one came out and we agreed on a price for all the work. They showed up on schedule and did the roof and...

    I was able to get one of the new wing tips installed and shaped last night. I think they should fit the overall theme better now.

    ONBOARD CAMS ON GIANT 1/3 RC SCALE ME 262

    Very cool airplane. I would like to know how the plug in wing setup works. The tube is tiny and way far forward. You can see it at about the 2 minute mark.

    Plane Restraint

    We have pipes in the ground that accept conduit with pool noodles. Very quick and easy to use. We are planing to add some larger wider spaced ones for holding the wings on planes larger than 35%. There are bricks buried flush with the ground between the pipes so you can locate them easier. If...
