    3D MOJO 65 w/20cc Build

    Anybody ever consider or heard of someone airfoiling the tail feathers? I had some good memories with my 40 sized version until I sold it cheap to a buddy. I'm really digging this build, maybe this winter......

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

    I had a similar incident with a friend who gave me a seized up H9 Cub he got from a friend. I reconditioned the engine (OS70FS?), but realized the tail seemed a bit weak. so I took a flashlight and looked into the empennage and found a mouse nest! Little intruder ate the tail structure to make...

    For Sale Foam wire keepers

    Pure genius. I've been using the ol Chinese version, love the concept. hated the self adhesive on wood, you need the surface very clean prior. Way to go using CA. I think you need to make some for ignition leads so you can stick them in cowls as a stand off. I've been gluing foam sheet as a rub...

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    I've only used blue on my trucks diff plate lol. I'd imagine RTV is RTV, but I've been using the Ultra Copper on my muffs lately because they say it's for higher temps.

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    Just need to touch up some ultracote, get some more fuel, double check the CG, and take her up!! Much more impressed with how this engine runs. Took some needle tweaking. Was about a 1/4 turn rich on the Low and high. They were both set around 1-5/8 out of the box now they are about 1-3/8...

    That's what I wanted to hear thanks! I have heard of people using the VVRC 40cc in that plane, and was thinking a DA35 would be sweet. How did the CG feel with them big tires?

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

    I'm getting curious about this setup. I've looked at PR bush wheels for a while know, may have to pull the trigger one of these days. Your cub... which engine is under the cowl? I have a friend with that ARF in the box still... I saw you went to the field, what did you think of the performance...

    News Great Planes dealers beware

    The big thing for me is to actually touch and see an airplane in person before the purchase. For that I am disappointed in mfgrs like Extreme Flight and AJ. They don't post enough pictures of their models let alone don't take the time to post a picture of the actual model and not it's bigger or...

    News Great Planes dealers beware

    Well it looks like Horizon upped their dealer sales from 60k to 120k or so I've been told. tough Times for the LHS. At least you don't live in Alaska and all your packages come from USPS, UPS, FedEx to Alaska Air Cargo then dispersed back to USPS, UPS, FedEx LOL! Don't even get me started on...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I had that happen to me in 2007... I just paid the club dues, only one flying at the time. I was having a blast flying my slab up and down both runways LOL. Someone came up behind me and proudly stated I cannot use both runways. Kinda put a bitter taste in my mouth (like yelling at a puppy dog)-...
