    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I worked on the left elevator tonight. I started by gluing a piece of 1/32" ply to the inside edge of the counterbalance. I wanted to strengthen it so when I cut off the end there would still be some support to keep everything where it belongs. Next I cut off everything outside the...

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Now that the holidays are mostly past it's time to get back to work on the project. I had 27 people in the house for Christmas Eve which meant I had to turn the family room back into a family room instead of an airplane hanger and I needed to clean the shop. Now that all that madness is over...

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    I have to go with Matt here. The 100L sounds like the way to go for all the listed reasons. I'm also wondering about your 22 pound goal. I don't know what kind of weight other people have built the 2.5 Raven at, but my Carf 2.3 meter Extra 330L weighs 21.75 pounds with a GP61 and a can, and it's...

    WELL - Wha'cha Get??

    My brothers family gave me a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4. Not really airplane related, but since I can use it to get on GSN it's close enough!

    If you get a drone for Christmas!

    Yep, once the idiots, both government and careless drone flyers, get the public riled up enough, they'll make more utterly ridiculous rules that cover the entire RC hobby.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    When your doing just a small piece of ply to hold the blind nuts you normally only need to bevel the bottom. Last night I cut the slots in the pants so they will slide over the axle, and installed the blind nuts. Since I fly off grass I raised the wheel pants up some. I've done that before...

    What are you going to build in 2015?

    I love your Avatar. The only one that's on par with that is the Camfather.

    The saying goes you can have the work three ways, fast, good and cheap, but you only get to pick two.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I've been working on my wheel pants and axles. The axles are just standard DuBro so nothing trick there, but the wheel pants are massive. Normally I would just install a piece of plywood around the axle big enough to mount the blind nuts that hold the pant on. This time I decided to make the...
