    Throttle Servo Choices...What are you Using and Why?

    What do you recommend for a Throttle servo. I want a fast one, but how fast is to fast? I mean a carb can only react so fast right? I need one that can deal with vibrations right? So metal gear is a must I suppose. I don t need a torque monster, there isn't a lot of force involved. I suppose I...

    Tulsa Oklahoma 3D Bash

    It shows he has had some training with a Pro. 3 to 4 second clips is where its at. I have worked with many top end pros and they montage exactly how he did it. Well done! I too love to make videos and one day Ill throw down at an event in full video mode. Stills have to step aside when you are...

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    So you are saying to glue a washer inside the cowl. My worry isn't so much the mounting of the unit (although that gluing of the O-ring seems a little suspect). its the way the Peg just slides into place without locking, and there is no Airtight fit if that pin falls out.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    No, it's is a tiny fuel dot really. There is a little peg that press fits in the middle. The peg sticks out when installed, and it does not screw in or lock in to place. The back is held in into place by gluing an O-ring to the fuse and the rear of the fuel dot. When the peg is...

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    I have the cowl All mounted and all of the cutting is doe for the DA-50 and exhaust pile. I think the Pitts style would be much easier, and if I ordered a spare cowl for this plane, I could do a much neater job of cutting it out. I need to find more of the rubber O-rings for the 3mm...

    Pilot 35% Extra 260 Half Build

    I used to build and tune carts for a few of my Chopper customers. I was big in to drag racing (Harley's), and building custom choppers. Carts were just for fun. They are super fast, and are a stepping stone to dirt track racers. Racing is fun, but is a massive money pit.

    108 extra 330 lt 3dhs

    Aaron sure did an awesome job on that scheme. I love the look of that plane. Its a huge commitment to build a big gasser. Ill be watching this thread. That's for taking time to document it here. AKf

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    What fuel dots did you guys end up using. I ordered a secraft V3 and I think its a mistake. I thought the stopper/peg would press fit and lock in flush but it doesnt. Its sticks out of the fuel dot base like the back of a push pin. Also the hole where the fuel needle fits into the fuel dot is...

    Pilot 35% Extra 260 Half Build

    Don't mess with it, if its kicking butt, let her eat. I have never seen anything but marginal increase in performance by swapping plug brands. Others may have but I haven't and I have played with cars, boats, planes, chainsaws, go carts, and top fuel Harleys. If you have a good spark, that's all...

    True story. I never flew an rc plane before last October in the middle of the month. But I have a strong full scale aviation background. I know I am no Jase, Joe, Cody, or Daniel.. but one day I hope to be as good at this stuff.

    One Year After I Flew My First RC Plane, Here is 6 Mins of Fun With A Crack Laser

    Hey guys, Boy a lot has happened to me in a years time. Yep, last October I flew a Carl Goldberg Laser 200 that I bought from a man I found on Craigslist. Since then I have bought and or built many planes (15ish- from UMX to 35% gassers). You see, this RC plane bug bit me hard! Its like the...
