    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    This multi-pin plug... is that like a D-Sub connector or something? Cant see the whole plug, I like how you gooped up the wires to help the wire strain off the connector, a good measure for sure. This is an excellent build, love seeing your techniques and designs! I'm just eating up the wealth...

    AJ 93" Laser Reflex build/assembly!!!

    ha ha NOPE! My Slick has a dual miracle switch I need to replace for good measure, not sure which route to go quite yet. Gotcha - those are fuel PORTS! brand?? I like this concept! I have a TME that's been sitting around for a while, would like to invest in a PowerBox and ditch the check valve...

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    Put in another 10 min flight last night. I'm confirming that the CG needs to be back a bit. Think I am going to work on extending my battery tray aft. Guessing this is why It doesn't feel like I have a lot of tail authority in high alpha. Still pretty baffled how well this plane tracks in the...

    AJ 93" Laser Reflex build/assembly!!!

    That wolverine switch is pretty sweet, almost pulled the trigger on one twice. Is the charge port set up for balance charging the A123? I thought they were just a two prong style. is it just me or is the fuel line a little short to your fill port? Looks pretty nice by the way, love the CF. I...

    I like your use of grommets for the wiring - it tidies it up nicely.

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    Well I have a positive flight report. I flew the laser for four 10-13min flights with no issues!!! :fist_pump: New receiver (don't think that was it - it's flying in another plane) and antenna orientation, new battery connection (from Deans to XT60 doubt that was it either), Thought the plug...

    Got about 2hrs worth of flying in today! Now that the tourists/cruise ships are gone we get our flying field back. Pretty happy to get some much needed flying in. The lower pic is of a buddies Maxford USA trainer, that use to have a fuji gas engine on it. The plane weighed so much he dubbed it...

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

    True. I did see fretting on the plug cap, I'll have to look closer for arching. I tightened the spring, goes on with more effort. I do want to believe that the looser cap could have made my radio loose connection briefly two-three separate times, and why my first flight was flawless.. hmmm...

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

    So I was looking into my 73" laser glitch some more (imagine that). My plug cap goes on super easy.... could it be that over a few flights the plug cap spring loosened enough to cause some fretting to make my radio lockout briefly??? It was always much much easier than my DLE cap. Keep in mind...

    Flown for the first time in a while!! The new walbro carb from vvrc with the red aluminum diaphragm plate (been through two DLE carbs) on my 35RA took care of my un tunable mid range burble and me having to run a line to a film canister. Only a very slight burble during a high g maneuver but...

    Four safe 10 min flights sounds pretty good to me on two 1300-1600 2s Lipos!

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

    roger that on the 2x 1350's They just seem so small lol! Anyone running that setup on a 35cc? Curious about flight times/flights. One problem I have that you guys may not, I do a lot of flying in the wintertime, Lipos hate the cold weather (usually keep them in the truck with the heater on...

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

    Question... Debating on putting unregulated 2 Cell x2 lipos on a BoomaRC pin flag switch for a 35cc 3D plane with a TechAero. mAh??? I'm looking at the pulse batteries so my options are 1350 or 2250mAh. I wouldn't think there would be a large weight penalty, but as far as usable voltage for HV...

    picked up a UMX timber, what a fun little bush plane! It can take off of grass! With decent wheels and functional flaps I found myself doing some gravel/grass strip one way landings - dodging the yard landscape, maneuvering around shrubs and small trees! The plane flys like an underpowered...

    AJ 93" Laser Reflex build/assembly!!!

    No large area washer on the ball link attaching to the servo arm? Might be a nice piece of mind. Keep up the good work! I really enjoyed my build thread on the 73", curious to see your power setup for the 93"
