    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    Yes, Tony went to a new hinge a while back and has had nothing but problems with them so he switched to a new hinge recently. I had a couple break on me as well. As far as the glue I have never had a problem with a glue joint in fact Pilots have always seemed better to me than many other ARF's...

    Yeah, I always fly the first couple days and then just end up BSing with everyone for the rest of the week :laughing:

    Joe Nall Week 2016, May 7-14

    I doubt Joe Nall knows about it as he is dead but Triple tree is aware and I believe working on something for it. Sorry I couldn't resist the humor part ;)

    IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

    The bags come in a roll. You clamp off each end depending on how long you want it. The wings I did for that plane were 42% wings. They can easily do any 40% plane. Here is the company we get the pump and bags from http://www.acpsales.com/OnlineStore.php

    Also check out Terry's videos on you tube under terryscustom. He did some great videos on bagging.

    IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

    Here you go Cam. This was the first one I did. I have done several now and its easy. It gets even pressure on the whole surface.

    3D Viper 120cc ARF is HERE!!!!!

    My guess is the Chinese do not use a flex agent. I used to dye leather seats in cars and we used lots of flex doing that. When I have seen the paint crack is this, example: working on the plane and push on the cowl to hard and it is flexed in. A week or so later it starts to spider crack in the...

    Joe Hunt RC 3D FLY IN -- Pics & Vids

    Looking at these pics reminds me of Jeff's flying. He is up there with one of the best pilots I have had the opportunity to watch IMO. Not sure if anyone else noticed his underappreciated abilities last week. He can do the riffle rollers down the runway with the best of them but what he really...

    3D Viper 120cc ARF is HERE!!!!!

    I should have stated I think the spider cracking is mostly the paint not the resin.

    3D Viper 120cc ARF is HERE!!!!!

    LOL, well of course that can happen but I am referring to the material used.

    3D Viper 120cc ARF is HERE!!!!!

    I think the only time I've seen spider cracking on an arf cowl is if it's been heated up real bad from an over heating engine or has taken an impact and as time goes by the impact area starts to get lines from the expanding and contracting from heat. As far as Chinese resin/glass goes the cowl...

    3D Restoring The Yak

    The engine died in a hover so the poor rudder was the first thing to go unfortunately :confused:

    3D Restoring The Yak

    Great talking to you on the phone today! I like the flames, it dresses it up:) :)My vote is for stock exhaust. Save the weight, heat and custom fitting the cans/pipes. Looks damn good:way_to_go:

    3D Viper-ST 100-120cc scratch build......it continues!

    Doesn't look to bad. I've seen ARF's that are way worse. In fact there is one un-named ARF brand that I see way worse than that all the time. Maybe you could pin the fuse down to the bench so when you glue the foam on it will keep it straight. If that makes sense, I can never explain this...

    Joe Hunt RC 3D FLY IN -- Pics & Vids

    @Joe Hunt The raffle was among the best I have seen in a long time. I would guess close to $4k in merchandise. I think it's important that we recognize the companies that donated so much! Also the DJ/hobby store that spent all day working the sounds and voice. When you have time can you please...

    Oh man that was early! I don't think hardly anyone was there yet. We just went up for a quick check out flight of the third new ZDZ 180. 5th flight only on it. Didn't know anyone was filming yet let alone watching me:eek: Thanks @Joe Hunt for a good time:):):) FYI Joe is a really great guy to...
