    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Five years ago I had some CA hinges shear off on an aileron (all but one or two) linkage was still holding it on. Only noticed it when I landed and the air pressure went away and it drooped. I thought it would have fell out of the sky like a winged duck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Took the Extra 300EXP 60" through two batteries. Scratched the itch I've been having for quite some time. Really starting to like this bird. Thanks @NorthwestRC Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It's been raining so hard here for the last week I think someone is building another ark nearby.... Before that is was frozen in the teens, then I was gone for a couple weeks for work.... I've got a bad itch that needs scratching folks. Been working on putting together an AcroCub foamy in the...

    Hangar 9 Ultra Stick 30cc ARF

    I like the idea of the vvrc 40cc twin, hard to beat a da-35 as well... of course these are the higher priced engines. The twin would be easier on vibration with the supplied CA hinges.... just sayin. The vvrc 40 would be my choice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hangar 9 Ultra Stick 30cc ARF

    Hard to not like the ultra stick... hmmm Double beveled hinges, 30cc, 1:5 floats, not to mention the skis, sounds like a fun fly plane to me!! I'm tempted believe me!

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    ha ha ha my personal cutoff is 33* that's enough time to play in the sky for a 5 min fix. Many variables though.... wind is a big factor. I had a flying buddy try and break his record of -3* but only got to +2* he flies a Tower 60 with a nitro .70 FS, uses a generator hooked up to a hairdryer to...

    3D MOJO 65 w/20cc Build

    I had the same issue with my mojo 40. Added lift struts on the lower section of the horizontal. Never thought of sheeting the stabs to cure that. But the struts solved the twist I was getting during a roll Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Finally flew my 71" slick after the new horizontal/elevators, and the additional servo! Flew great!! A bit tail heavy... sure spins the tail around! Overall I am pleased with what feels like more tail authority and integrity. Had to fly between snow flakes today... dark.... gloomy... it must be...

    Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.

    Way cool. Are your wing tip bows just sheet balsa laminated? Curious how you formed them and what they are made of. I've heard of guys soaking balsa sheet in windex (ammonia) prior to forming. Whoops found this! EDIT: Tip bow was laminated out of 5 layers of 1/2 x 1/16 balsa and glued up with...
