    I Need To Vent

    I agree. I buy almost all of my supplies/parts/components from LHS as much as possible, and what I can't buy there, I buy from Aztech Aeromodel or other domestic online stores. I used to buy Turnigy batteries, but that's not happening again.

    What's on your bench?

    I've got a blue and yellow 72 SC on the bench (well, on the floor... The bench is covered in miscellaneous glues and hardware...). After it is up and flying, I'll be putting guts back in my 48 Edge so I'll have all my planes RTF again. :)

    72" 3DHS Extra 330 Build Log

    Got all the Rx and servo linkages set up today, and mounted the engine. It took a while to make sure everything is free of binding and is set up where minimal trimming is needed. Set all subtrims and trims to zero, and get all linkages as close to mechanically perfect as you can, then use...

    Looks like the fuse was built crooked to me. I'd contact 3DHS and see what can be done. Fixing that would require opening up the tail and completely rebuilding it, IMO. Whatever happens, good luck getting it resolved!

    72" 3DHS Extra 330 Build Log

    Not sure if this is a "build thread" or not, so feel free to move this post to its own spot, Gyro. Got the 72 build underway. I have had about two hours to mess with it so far, so my progress is quite slow. Holes cut into the fuse, elevator and rudder horn slots cut and dry-fitted. My...

    Knife Edge tips.

    I agree with what Space Bat is saying. It is akin to 1st grade; they don't give you a calculator to learn math, they teach you how to do it by hand, the hard way. Or how they should do driver's ed. I think everyone should learn to drive a stick shift first, then everything else is cake. But...

    Very nice pic, CHQ. I'm kinda glad you aren't sporting the Bell's logo in your avatar here... Every time I saw that, it made me thirsty. :P

    Discussion Wow, a plane can do that?

    There was a family at a park nearby when I maidened my 70 Slick. The (I'm assuming) grandmother walked over and asked about my Yak, where to buy one, how much, etc.. I told her the initial investment, and she actually wasn't all that shocked. She said she would consider getting her grandson one...

    All done, just gotta heat the covering around the cowl up to take the wrinkles out, and put the wings back on. :D :D I even "blinged" it out with a blue spinner. :)
