    SOLD! Synergy E7

    I'm going to be selling my Synergy E7. I bought this kit right before the E7SE was announced and I have some of the upgrades like the motor mounting side plates and the pushrod for the tail. Other upgrades include battery trays from 3Dheliupgrades.comwhich are nice and simple. I also have the...

    SOLD! DA 60/25mm Drop Header/Medium ProFlow Can

    I'm selling a DA 60 with about 5 gallons through it. I had the motor in my 3DHS 89" Slick. It would burble in the midrange so I added a nipple to the diaphragm side of the carb and ran a line to a modified pill bottle in the fuse and that seemed to fix that problem for me. Included is a blazing...

    Going to VP SEF: Any Reason to Not Buy Premix?

    I probably going to start using the SEF from VP. They sell 4 Cycle and then 2 premixed version. The oil in the premix is JASO FD so is there any reason why I should continue buying Redline (JASO FC) and mix it in with the 4 Cycle instead of just using what's in the 40:1 or 50:1? I realize...

    What To Do About Teflon Coming Off of Flex Portion of Header

    I have a flex header for my DA 60 and the teflon is coming off of the flex portion. Not much oil residue is getting out. Do I need to fix this and what do I need to do? I can post pics later if need be but a storm is coming and I'm not interested in heading out to the shop to take some pics.

    Build: EF 88" Edge 540T

    I received my Extreme Flight 88" Edge 540T last week and I'm looking forward to getting it into the air. It arrived carefully packaged and in near perfect condition. There are a couple things that are minor flaws, but nothing major and I'm not going to bother EF with getting replacement parts...

    Batteries: Which Lithium Chemistry and How Are You Charging?

    On my last gasser, I was running Fromeco Iron Corps which I later updated to some Hyperion LiFe packs to go with a redundant battery system for the RX. With the 2 CellPro charges I had at that time, I could have everything fully charged in 30 minutes and of course the few times I needed to...

    Plane for DA 60

    I have a guy interested in my 3DHS 89" Slick. If I sell it, I'm going to need a new airframe for my DA 60. The planes I'm primarily interested in are the EF Edge or Yak, Pilot Extra 330SC, Aeroworks Extra 260 QB-L, or maybe the PAU Extra or Edge. What do you guys think?

    AJ 93" Laser 230Z/GP 88; What Do You Think?

    I had someone make a great offer to buy my 89" AJ Slick yesterday and I'm seriously thinking about selling it. If I sold it, I'm really interested in getting the 93" Laser. My Slick has a DA 60 on it so I'm hoping to sell him the motor too. What I'd really like to do with the Laser, is go...

    Gasser Throttle Servo, What Do You Like?

    Burned up the Futaba 9402 after 8 years yesterday on my 89 Slick. Are high speed coreless analog servos still preferred or is everyone using a digital servo these days? What servo do you like for throttle?

    Large Smooth Pipe Diameter?

    Dave, what is the diameter of the fat part of the Large Smooth Pipe? The OD is not listed on the website.

    Tuned Pipe Header Length and Prop Choice

    I'm making some progress on my Dalton 300 and still thinking about what engine/exhaust to run. I'm probably going to go with a DA 150L or GP 176 EVO on stock mufflers but I still have an interest in cans and tuned pipe set ups. I was looking at some information on different props and found...

    3D Bandsaw for Building RC Planes?

    I'm going to be starting to cut out the control surfaces on my Dalton 300 soon. For the ailerons, I'm going to use a small box cutter and a straight edge. I will probably do the same with the elevators but I might try a bandsaw since they're smaller and easier to handle. I'm also thinking...

    3D Number of Hinges for a 40% Plane?

    I'm hoping to make an order to Dalton to get the anti-rotation bushings and probably also buy some hinges. I may go Robart and I may go with the Kavan's so I need to make my mind up. What should the spacing on the hinges be?

    3D Hinges for Removable Rudders?

    Do the flat pin style hinges or the Robart point style hinges work better for a removable rudder?

    3D Gluing Secraft Studs Into Wing for Anti-Rotation/Retention

    I'm hopefully going to be setting the incidence on my wings for my Dalton Extra 300 this weekend or sometime soon. The kit came with plastic studs to be glued into the wings. I was thinking of replacing them with either the Secraft Wing Bolts/Nuts or using that system with a longer stud if I...

    IMAC Build: Dalton Extra 300

    I figured it's about time that I posted something about this here. I've had a Dalton Extra 300 (non-MEL) since the spring of 2009. I was still in school so having time to work on it and the funds made things go very slow. I then graduated and moved up to the Amarillo area. Time and money are...

    Club 40 Racing? (Yes, I know they're not Giants)

    Didn't see another forum area to post this in so feel free to move this if it needs to go in another spot. My club has some members that are big into the Club 40 racing with the World Models Skyraider MK2's. They keep telling me I need to get one but in all honesty I'm more into 50cc and...

    DA 60 Acting Funny

    I have a DA 60 on a Pro Flow can running a 24x10 Mejzlik. The plane is a 3DHS Slick and I was having problems with the motor bogging in knife edge and during rolling harriers. My fix was to put a nipple on the carb and run it back to a pill bottle for static air. At the end of last season, my...

    What's a DA 100L Worth?

    I've been seeing some really good prices on used DA 100L's. I guess there's a lot of other options such as DLE, GP, the DA 120 etc. that they're just not worth that much money anymore. I think it's great because if you don't need to have the biggest and baddest, you can get into a 100cc plane...

    Wing Bags???

    I'm building a Dalton 300 (original, not MEL edition) and I'm to the point that I'm ready to buy some wing bags for protecting my work. I've used WingTote in the past and I was curious if there is something else I should be looking at. I don't need a custom fit, just something to protect.
