    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    I have done more engine tuning and have the engine running much better as previously mentioned. I actually don't have a flight report yet... I was disassembling the plane to take it to the field when my dog backed into the rudder and broke the servo case (internal stop). So waiting on that...

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

    I glued sets of three 2x4x8's, plained them, then used 8" timber locks to tie them together. They are then pocket holed from the lower support to the 2x4's then hand plained on the top... A lot of work

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

    My workshop project... Is... Well... My workshop bench! 2x4's glued together, plained, sanded, and finished with Danish oil. This bench is overkill but designed to a 50cc tail won't hang over the edge.

    71" AJ Slick Building, Flying, and Questions

    Well finally took a knife to the horizontal. There is a lot of balsa pieces now! Thinking about making control horns out of phenolic board, seems to be stiff enough and a little thicker than the G10.

    IMAC Carden Pro 124 Build, My Dream Plane

    It's sullivan Gold-N-Rod 4-40 S517 or S518. It's the highest strength push rod they still make. The carbon filled used to be the best... until they decided not to make it anymore. http://sullivanproducts.com/GoldnRodMainFrame.htm The catch is with the black rod is that it's pretty rigid and...

    Aileron Differential: Why it’s so important and how to set it up

    Good Article. I've had adverse yaw in a H9 hellcat that was pretty bad. I couldn't turn with out rudder (plane skid through the air). One thing to keep in mind is that some aerobatic planes are very symmetrical so the lift coefficient is the same on either side of the wing (top and bottom)...

    Attention, Hobby Flyers: Come Monday Some Of You May Need An FAA Drone Pilot Certificate.

    Keep in mind that if you use a buddy box the PIC (pilot in control) could be the person without the goggles making this not a true FPV thus falling under the original ruling for section 336. This isn't new news really. I'm not sure I would trust the Forbes interview personally. I think the...
