    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Other than two 50cc'ers, this is his first true "big bird". I am so proud of him. Quite an accomplished pilot too.

    How long to let an engine warm up?

    Apparently my planes have been talking to your planes. They tell me the same thing. :way_to_go: I do my first flight of the day start ups the same way on all my motors. Start, kick it just above idle a click or two for 30 or so seconds. As @jamesrxx951 pointed out, a properly tuned engine really...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    As promised, Here is the video of my sons maiden on the PAU 43% Edge. I am a bit prejudiced because he is my son, but honestly I think he did an incredible assembly and maiden on this beast. Not bad for his very first "GIANT SCALE" plane.

    They multiple you know?!!? And they migrate too. I think they might be like those vines from Invasion of the body snatchers. They reach out and spread their happy cheer wherever they go.

    Sleepy's AW 260 GSN plane. When your flying skills are rusty, make sure your plane looks GOOD!

    Daymn...... that thing looks like it is flying already. Heck, the motor is hummin' right along so well I can't even see the prop spinning.:banana-dance: Nicely done Steve.:way_to_go:

    Prop failure....... Have you had one??

    So since this thread has brought about many experiences and insights, I'm noticing a large number of delaminating Biela props. This is concerning as my son is using a 32x12 two blade Biela on his DLE 222 on his big PAU Edge. Is there a significant risk or mitigating factor with the Biela props...

    WFly T-18 Radio. COOL!

    I was thinking the same thing. But just not sure I like the Android system. Hate it on my phone. Maybe this one will be better. It would be nice to see a little competition in pricing. Not sure they can ever meet the quality of either previously stated radios though.

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    I wanted a 3W for the project when I first planned it all. I wanted to do something different and started looking at other options. I should have just bought the 3Dub to begin with. I love the 157 on my 260 and that should have been testament enough to me.

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    Thank you. I've put four flights on it with the new 3W. The Sukhoi is now at peace with itself. It loves the power. It loves the even smooth balance of low end grunt and top end performance. Needless to say, I am very pleased. The 3W will stay right where she is.

    Trailer thread - how did you finish yours off?

    Plus one to your +1. Great stuff. Still undecided if I will be painting mine or doing a stain finish. But if it is to be painted, Kilz will be the first to go on.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I think my favorite is the guy that is "the fields best pilot" (or so he claims).... that he is doing the twist and the mashed potato and the waltz all at the same time he is arching his back, legs and leaning from side to side with his transmitter in hand (nearly upside down at times). Full on...

    :laughing:Hopefully while he is pointing it as the runway with throttle chopped, he has plenty of altitude to get said plane to said runway.:lol2:

    WFly T-18 Radio. COOL!

    Ok...so it looks cool and all. But can it whip up a four course dinner, do my laundry and dust my house? :LOL_gif:That is quite the radio. Looking forward to hearing some reviews on it.
