    Maybe... Hadn't thought of that.

    ES composite pipes

    I had one of mine slip out of the coupler on my last flight and I'm needing some good ideas for holding it in. I'm a bit skeptical of putting a screw through the carbon but maybe it would work if I drilled a pilot hole big enough.

    Tech-aero IBEC question

    What could cause that? I've seen that on mine before when I first fire it up. Full throttle run ups and the light blinks for a millisecond a couple of times but after it warms up it goes away. Stumped....

    The "I Need to Vent" thread

    I think I could enjoy that myself! I've always enjoyed lawn care and have thought of golf courses before. Would be enjoyable. I'm only 21 though so......

    91" Extreme Flight Extra

    I finally got a break in the weather and headed out this afternoon to put my first flight on my 91 extra. This is my first DA and I gotta say that it is an awesome motor. Starts easy and runs like a dream and pulls like a mule! I only got 3 short flights on it, but it's a definite keeper! It...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I think @ericrs might think he needs a DA in his next plane [emoji1]. My "new to me" DA 70 runs like a charm. That EF 91" is the best flying plane I've ever flown. It tracks like a dream, and the elevator authority will make it stand up on its tail quite quickly! I had a pipe slip out of the...

    91" Extreme Flight Extra

    I've spent the last few evenings going over this plane and now it's ready! Tomorrow's forecast is for winds gusting to 60mph though!!!!!! [emoji35][emoji35] I've got most of the fuel out of the wood under the tank and tightened up the fittings in this crapitude tank. PSP FITTINGS ARE IN ORDER! I...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I picked up a couple Fiji bottles in town to make a couple tanks. I got a 1 liter and a 700ml. That gives me 34oz in the big one and 25 in the smaller one. I think the 25 should be about right for my 91" extra, not? The 25 ouncer is the same length as the 34, just skinnier.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Thanks a bunch for the help guys. I ended up getting most of it out. I soaked the wood in alcohol and then put a layer of oil dry over that and there's very little left now. I may see if I can find a can of that K2r though.

    Are your rudder cables crossed?

    91" Extreme Flight Extra

    That's what I was thinking of doing. I set up my freestyle 260 that way with only one rate.

    91" Extreme Flight Extra

    I've been setting the throws up and getting the geometry right on this plane I picked up yesterday. What kind of expo are most of you running on 3D rates? Low rates? I'm getting 60° out of the ailerons and elevator, and about 45° on the rudder. The lines are crossed on the pull pull cables. Is...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    That makes sense. I heard if a solution that worked like that back when I still flew glow. I just couldn't remember what the mixture was. I have oil dry on it now, but I might try that yet.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    What's the best way to get most of the fuel out of wood? The guy I bought it from put a 4titude in it and it leaked!!!!!!!! [emoji35][emoji37] Is there any solution??

    Just curious where you mount your temp sensor?

    Bowman rings....Gone!

    There's a lengthy thread over "there" that says it all. He's retired and selling off the remaining stock, which I doubt is much anymore. Vital Rc had a few but I think they're bout sold out too.
