    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    We got out to the field this morning to get in a few Independence day flights only to find the most gruesome site imaginable. We (@Shayne Epley) and I had the field to ourselves. Not a sole to be found. Oh, a straggler now and then. Just long enough for them to pile what they had, then pack it...

    Pilot 37% 107" Edge 4 Banger

    I accomplished getting the elevator servos installed and pretty much tuned in. Good throws and smooth movement. I like. I took a little time to seal the hinge lines as I do with all my other gassers. I think it just adds to the appeal of an airframe when the hinge lines are sealed up all nice...

    Pilot 37% 107" Edge 4 Banger

    Ah thanks for the input Terry. I actually took that into consideration. Not only is the servo mount epoxied in place, but I have also drilled and set four wood screws to help hold it into place on the bottom of the motor box. With the sides of the motor box being bolted in 14 places, the...

    Pilot 37% 107" Edge 4 Banger

    Since I am focusing on keeping this as lite as possible, I chose to do a little different wiring process. I am using two Fromeco Li-Ion Relion 7.4 5200 mah packs to support the entire airframe. From my experience with my other gassers, I feel very confidant that 10,400 mah's on board should...

    Pilot 37% 107" Edge 4 Banger

    I've got the fuse completely wired now. @Taildraggerrc 20awg wiring and wing harnesses throughout. I've never trusted nor had more faith in wiring than what I do with the TDRC. Sullivan Skywriter smoke pump in place, strapped down and wired/plumbed in. Smart Fly Power Expander Pro and Pin and...

    DLA Engines

    I'm at a little bit of a standstill waiting for new exhaust for the 128. In the meantime, I have started a build thread on the Edge the DLA is mounted to. I suspect the next update here will be once the new muff's arrive and smoke taps are installed. I can't wait to see if this little guy smokes...

    Pilot 37% 107" Edge 4 Banger

    Next I set out to get the fuel and smoke tanks in place. @Taildraggerrc fuel tanks for both. These dudes are really cool and heck, they look like they had me in mind when they made them. PERFECT fit. I also got two fuel dots from @Taildraggerrc. One for the go-go juice and one for the smoke-'em...

    Pilot 37% 107" Edge 4 Banger

    Mounting the 128 proved to be a bit of a frustration. I had forgotten to take into consideration the length of the motor verses the thrust alignment. But after remembering (with a little reminder from @Shayne Epley) I got the 128 mounted and ready for the next step. I mounted the ignition...

    Pilot 37% 107" Edge 4 Banger

    I promised a build thread on the airframe for the DLA 128 four cylinder. I looked at so many airframes and honestly, I got so frustrated that I finally took a nudge from a couple of you guys out there. I wanted something with some "WILD" capabilities. I so love a 260. But unfortunately, I really...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    You guys crack me up. I say go all out and put a gasser on it. LOL... I am going to be brave and stand fast against the heat tomorrow. A three day weekend without flying is like...well, it's like the Duke boys without General Lee. It just ain't right. I've been busting away at the new airframe...

    Bill Hemple's 50% Pitts Challenger III is here* in the US.......................(*almost)

    You do have a thing for my 260 don't you? Lol. I had a girlfriend once tell me, "something will have to go. Maybe you should sell one of your planes"! I promptly took her advice. I sold her..., and bought another plane. Naa...I'll keep the 260. Lol. Be safe and enjoy your firecracker day!:way_to_go:
