    Wanted 3DHS Aspera or EF 48" Vanquish

    Before I go asking Santa for a Vanquish I figured it would be worth seeing if there are any floating around out there not getting the love they deserve. Thanks!

    Joe Nall 2018, CANCELLED!

    Forecast for the rest of the week is bad so they're sending everyone home and closing shop as of tomorrow, Tuesday, May 15. If you're heading there, turn around and go home. Sucks for sure but Mother Nature always wins. :(

    Sport Bud Nosen (!!!) 1/4 Scale Citabria Build! Woo hoo!

    Okay Chris, happy now??? :dancing-chicken: I'm a long time fan of Bud Nosen, not for any reason other than when I was a kid I used to see his full page ads in Model Airplane News and I thought he MUST be a bad ass to be building these huge planes, especially the Mustang! So while I wait to...

    Wanted Wanted DA-100I or 3W-110iR2 Inline Twin

    This would be for a project that is a long way down the road but in the event there's a good used one out there and I can get it for a great price then I'd buy it early. It's hard to believe there are very many of these engines, used, sitting on shelves across the country but that's why I'm...

    Who's Up For a 3D Printing Challenge?

    After shopping for a new incidence meter I've come to the conclusion they're all overpriced crap. So who wants to design and print parts to convert one of these, a light to medium duty quick clamp, https://www.amazon.com/Irwin-Quick-518QCN-Handed-Spreader/dp/B0761J2HVR so that it can be...

    Scale Giant Scale P-51 Mustang Plans??

    Hey guys, Rather than continuing to clog up Red Raider's build thread talking about the different Mustang plans sets I thought I'd post a new thread to gather up and discuss what the options are. I'm looking for P-51B plans but let's tally up everything that's out there for big Mustang...

    A Classic! Lanier 1/3 Scale Laser 200, DLE 61, Hitec Servos

    I'll post photos later tonight but here's what I've got.... It was built by an older gentleman back around 2001 and flown about 50 times, he logged each flight. I bought it earlier this year and removed about 3.5 pounds by replacing the Zenoah G62 with a low time DLE61. I also swapped out the...

    Source for scale drawings

    Does anyone have a good source for scale drawings? I've got an old and rather delapidated Carden Cap 232 that needs to be rebuilt and I've decided to scratch build a new fuselage instead of trying to salvage the old one. There are a few details though that I'd like to make slightly more...

    Suggestions for shipping a large kit box?

    Big planes, big boxes. Right? Other than greyhound, what are the best options? I'm trying to get a kit shipped from Georgia to New Jersey and would hate to lose it due to shipping. Thanks! Bart

    Molded fiberglass fuel tanks?

    Hey folks, Was just wondering what tricks there are to making a custom molded fiberglass fuel tank. Is the fiberglass resin naturally resistant to the fuel or does it have to be sealed after it's made? I'd like to get a tank to mount right on the CG for my Laser but there's a little over an...

    Is a DLE-61 any good?

    Been looking for a DA-60 but if that doesn't come through is the DLE-61 any good? I know the 110, 55 and 30/35 were popular but the chinese manufacturers don't necessarily nail it with every try.....so is the 61 safe or a dog? Thanks! Bart
