    Cool Fromeco, above and beyond!

    I haven't used Fromeco, but always have had them as my next choice. A123's have their limits, and LiPo's are not the best for the AK cold weather, so LION would be a good HV option over the A123 for me...

    Something New Is Coming.

    AJ Aircraft just announced a 104" 120cc ARS300 and a 67" ARS300 today at the 2017 Toledo Show along with there very own electric motors! Funny since about a year ago I wished they made a 60" version ha ha

    well... I do that just in time to mess it up again! I keep dreaming that a 93" Reflex Laser will be on my bench... just counting my fun tickets and making lots of delicious dinners for my lovely wife :concern:

    What about using a power expander? Like the new Booma AR Smart Bus or a Powerbox Pro from Redwing? Been thinking about that myself

    I have never heard of such a design! Pretty neat! Probably a little late, but a short build thread on this plane could be fun to tune in on.

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    The larger/heavier prop lets the RCGF 21cc idle great. I tried APC 17x4W, 16X4W, 16X6, and the previous wood 16X8. I have no numbers but after doing some engine runs I cannot seem to get this engine from Idle to WOT without dying, unless I slowly transition. Punch it, and it dies. Adjusted the...

    Fabric Covering for Scale RC Airplanes — Video How To

    @Snoopy1 Nice planes! I see that you have a color scheme going there with the orange white and blue! I like the pin stripe lines between the blue and orange on the typhoon. @acerc I agree with you with the humidity. Its the hardest part with the whole system, even in SE Alaska! The Stewart...

    Fabric Covering for Scale RC Airplanes — Video How To

    Ive repaired and covered full scale planes with this stuff, I have turned very sensitive to MEK. That is one nasty chemical. Be careful when using it, the chemical will get through ordinary gloves. I absolutely love how forgiving this stuff is to work with! They make a easy to read/follow book...

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    Man I feel bad I left this thread on pretty much a bad note... I started tinkering on this flying machine again. So many good reviews of this engine and plane (separately) I'm thinking there must be a way to solve this. Took the lead out of the tail. Swapped positions with the fuel tank and the...

    News Roll call! Joe Nall 2017

    No Kidding!! It would be about 12 hours of flight travel and an hour drive! ha ha ha. Been there once in 2012 (I Think) because I was taking a class in Daytona Beach FL and drove to Triple Tree. sooooo NO EXCUSES, go for me!!!! Instead I'll be flying north a 1/2hr and fly fish for some steelhead.
