    This is soooo not good!

    I use 90 inch pounds of torque on my DA engines on carbon props. I have had two sheered props when I did not do this torque setting. As for Carbon fiber spinners and backplates... So far I have never had an issue with this, but I generally put a small bit of Loctite on the bolt for the first...

    Emcotec's PWC3 and PWC6 power servo harnesses

    Silicon is a good idea. I just don't like the bare metal showing as much as it is.

    Emcotec's PWC3 and PWC6 power servo harnesses

    Looks nice but don't like the side that you plug the extension or servos in. Wish it was more covered. Love the install in the wings though.

    Futaba 18MZ/14SG/8FG Tips and Tricks

    I need to get into those conditions. My IMAC plane is setup VERY simple. Three position switch. First rate is snaps and sequence flying. Second switch is my roller switch which gives it less aileron more elevator and rudder for the rollers. And third switch is full rate everything which I like...

    Lipo Disposal

    When I was cleaning out my shop this weekend I had a few batteries sitting on the top shelf that are well used! Probably nearly 2-3 years old and are puffed. They are all older turnigy batteries. What do you do to dispose them besides blowing them up ;) What I did this past weekend was drained...

    IMAC Dalton Extra 300SP KG's new Contest plane.

    Thanks guys! Got another two flights on her today. CG is too nose heavy for my liking still, but still need to add pilot figure. She wants to pull a little to the left on the up lines so it needs a bit of right thrust in the engine. Needs a tad bit of KE mixing. She also drops the left wing when...

    Finally did the maiden today. Couldn't fly it too much today due to the winds and I still needed to add the tail wheel steering. Really liking the plane so far!

    Power set ups

    I am doing 3 cell setup in my new plane with a Bec to drop it down to a typical charge of a 2 cell pack.

    Well the front end is about done. Only thing left to do is the elevator and rudder servo setup and then find out where to mount the batteries and BEC.

    Post your dumb RC moves here

    On the third flight on my OMP Yak 55 120cc plane back a few years ago I left all four wing bolts out of the plane... I took the plane off turned hard left and did rifle rolls on the back side. Notice at the end of the downwind it was rolling funny. I thought a servo went out....turned a quick...

    IMAC Dalton Extra 300SP KG's new Contest plane.

    Hmm I will give that a shot! I will probably fly her this weekend as is and look into that for next week. Generally on a new plane I will put a few flights on her then open the cowl to check everything. Thanks for the tip! I learned about the shrink wrap on the tips of the snake skin on the...
