    EG 100cc Slick 540 from Aztech Aeromodels

    Added a 3" stripe to one wing tip. I'm trying to decide if I should add one more to make it 2 per wing or just do one stripe.

    Hey Kevin glad it's coming together. Looks good. I used the 20B from the start. Also, i never had a problem with cooling but i did baffle my engine. I just have those cutouts i showed you and never had an issue with that. I used some cheap foam sheet to make my baffle. Just cut it out and CA it...

    Hey 3daviator, I used an automotive gray primer/sealer paint that i got from Ace hardware. I think it was just some rustoleum gray primer sealer. Then i used some texture paint and a clear top coat. It needs to cure for a few days before being exposed to any fuel but it'll be fuel proof and...

    Also, I installed the rudder. Not much to it but to run the supplied wire through the hinges and make a 90 degree bend. I'm putting the bend at the top and covering it with blenderm so I can remove my rudder. If you don't plan to remove the rudder you can put the bend at the bottom so it can't...

    Engine is here! I just got a shipping notice today for the engine mount so it should be here in a few days. Then I can get it bolted up :)

Big thanks to Kole at limitlessaero for getting it out to me so fast! Mine is #5076 :) I'm extremely excited to get it running. I'll be mounting it to a...

    Thanks, i love that stuff! Lightweight, looks great, and does a fantastic job protecting the servo wire. Comes in different colors too ;) Engine should be here Wednesday. Eric at B&E graphics is moving to a bigger location so there is going to be a delay on my graphics. Hopefully i'll get it...

    I'm going to install the elevator servos for now. First I'm covering the servo wires with a mesh material to protect it from fraying and heat shrinking the ends to keep them in place. It also gives it a little cleaner look. Then I install the rubber grommets on the servos and the brass eyelets...

    I can't wait to pull up to my next event with it :D On another note, the torque rating on these Savox servos is crazy! Torque(@7.4V oz-in): 583.3 :veryshocked: I don't think i'll have any problems with blowback using these :banana: 2 per aileron, 1 per elevator, and 2 on the rudder. I'll be...

    How else are you supposed to transport an all white plane but with an all white truck???? My dad got a hard top for his truck so I could transport the Slick :) It juuuust fits if you go at an angle.

    Servos came today :) I went with 8 Savox SB-2230SG servos. I cut out the servo slots in the wings a few days ago and went over the airframe with an iron. Now I have to finalize the scheme. I think the bottom will just have 2 black stripes near the wing tips and on the elevators and the top...

    78'' Extra

    I used the blind nuts. Loctite is your friend :) Seriously though, loctite every metal to metal connection or it will vibrate loose. You could use a regular nut as well for added security. BTW the stock standoffs are a little long for this plane so you may have a larger spinner gap than...

    60" Extra 300 EXP

    I haven't flown a 4s setup but Cody has so maybe he can chime in on what it's like power/flight time wise. I don't really like 4s on this size plane because the amps are getting way up there at that point. 6s is more efficient and the way to go IMO. If you went 4s i'd think that you'd want to...

    60" Extra 300 EXP

    Yeah they're doing great. I have some Glaciers that i purchased around the same time that are holding up good but they do get slightly warmer than the Haiyins now and are a little softer. I would buy both brands again since they both deliver great power and seem to be of good quality but from my...

    60" Extra 300 EXP

    +1 There is also Haiyin lipos which are a little cheaper but also slightly heavier. I don't mind the extra weight and the packs are holding up great after a year. BTW Daren, I saw your post about the bearings for the torque. Shoot me a PM and i can send you some.
