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

    After about 4 years and 11-12 gallons with my 71" slick I think my plug cap is worn out on the DLE35. Pretty dirty inside and the spring and rubber cap seem compromised. I put it back together along with a new fuel tank and it will only run at idle for a short amount of time. It could be my new...

    Request How do I remove "70cc twin V2" from my Avatar?

    He he, yeah took me a bit to figure out why I'm a 100cc and I don't even own one half that size!! LOL

    Request How do I remove "70cc twin V2" from my Avatar?

    Don't think you can... maybe an Admin could if you don't like the way GSN ranks your activity here. @GSNadmin ? Maybe there's a way?

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

    Been investigating my laser 73" "glitch" lots of forum research nothing definitive yet One thing I was reading up on with the tech aero. For those running A123 batteries, what voltage setting are you at? Mine has no plug jumpers so 6.6 but that's the highest setting. Curious if when the...

    Post your servo, receiver, and battery setups

    This is what I had done originally. Maybe I just shouldn't mess with it. It's not an issue to Y it off (as shown in lower pic) and put both ends into the same receiver is it? Its going into a Futaba R6208SB Rx, I presumed it's like a data bus, since futaba says you can put a Y harness to any...

    Post your servo, receiver, and battery setups

    Thanks for the info. I would also think that two 1100 A123's would share the load quite well. Might be worth a try because I have a Booma pin flag switch just sitting around. It would solve my question about having enough amps pumping through one pack for the rx and tech aero...

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Does Graphtech custom make carbon tubes? The last Aluminum tube I replaced with a carbon I had to put a thin layer of epoxy on it and let it turn on my rod dryer. Cool trick in case you need a tighter fit. The rod dryer rotates at 5-9 rpm and leaves an even coat of finish on.

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    LOL I need a red marker to point out what I'm looking out ha ha! Its on the inside of the fuse, on either side supporting the area around and mostly aft of the wing tube. definitely two different types of woven fibers. Not a big deal was just curious.

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    I've been scared :frown: to fly my 73" AJ Laser ever since my two or three 2-3 sec "brown outs"... even though the engine kept running smoothly with no response (kind of nightmare really) - I put that receiver in a cub and it worked fine for multiple flights - so I have a new Rx in the bird but...

    Post your servo, receiver, and battery setups

    SO I'm curious what people are using for power on a single or dual A123 with one Rx and a TechAero IBEC for a 35cc 3D plane. I've done a single 2500 A123 to a modified Miracle switch (for the 3 wire version batteries for the balance tap/pwr feed) on a Cub. My concern is will that be enough wire...

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    glad to hear the maiden went well! Finally!! It seems like this ARF build has been quite the journey for you, but then again I think you were the right guy to take on the endeavor it led you down. Well done :joy::too-happy:

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    I guess I meant under and aft of the wing tube. looks kindof like Kevlar and carbon woven together.

    Cool The I'm going out flying thread 2017

    Picked up a club member and took his 60e Beast out. He flew it for about 4min and had to sit down so I flew it for a couple more minutes and landed it for him. That plane tracks great! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
