    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Thank you Rob! I love the sound from the Proflows and the fact that they are quiet. Time will tell on the power when I get back on the sequences and also throw the 30x13 3 blade Falcon up front :)

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I finally got the maiden on the Red 330LX yesterday. It has a ZDZ 180 on Proflow cans and was turning a 29x12EVO 3 blade prop for the test run yesterday. No where near enough prop for the beast. Even on the Proflows it was still ripping the snot out of the prop at just a touch over half...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Added some vinyl bling from B&E Graphics to the Red LX tonight. I designed the ZDZ180 logo and sent Eric a high resolution picture of the 180 for the tear out vinyl. I have never applied vinyl before and was a little worried about getting air bubbles. These went on so easy that I didn't even...

    Bill Hempel has 5" CF spinners with lightened back plates AND already slotted for either 2 or 3 blade props. 2 blade is $65.00 and 3 blade is $70.00. I have one on one of my LX's and it works and looks great. http://www.billhempel.com/accesories/index.php scroll all the way to the bottom of the...

    Thank you Rob! I didn't do anything on the back side because of the negative pressure lips on the bottom. I feel that everything should be evacuated quite nicely.

    Finally got the baffling done on the LX and buckled up the front end :-) With any luck I will maiden it tomorrow afternoon.

    You will like the way that little one flies! I had one and wish many times I had it back :)

    @Krzy4RC was running these motors in his IMAC plane last season. He may be able to offer some insight for you.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I believe I have become a firm believer in Hacker motors :) I replaced the Exceed RC Monster power 25 870kv in the Mini-Banshee with a Hacker A30-14L V3 and went from 8950 rpm to 10,350! Same prop and freshly charged 4s 45C battery. I also put a Hacker on my daughter's 330LT but, haven't tested...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Yes I am! I love the sound of these cans. I have heard that the Proflow cans choke the 180 down to much on the high end which would be a bad thing. Hope to find out this weekend but, the forecast is not looking good at this point. If it decides to clear up enough for a test flight, I will let...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Finally got the Red 330LX fired up tonight. ZDZ180 on Proflow cans swinging a 29x12EVO 3 blade as a break-in prop :) Have to love the ZDZ engines :) Another short video after a small tweak on the carb.

    News Purple Plug Puller works

    I don't usually pick up items like this because I figure the way I am doing it works. Let me tell you that this is one product anyone who owns a gas engine needs! I have probably had mine about a month and was looking at it thinking ok, that will never get used, should have bought something...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    They are MPX connectors for the wings. I use them so there is only one plug for each wing. Makes it much easier to assemble/disassemble the plane. Also, keeps you from plugging a servo into the wrong channel :) I have been doing this for the last few large planes that I have built. The...

    Finished installing the cb200, dual rx's and remoteswitch in the Red 330 LX tonight. Trying to keep it as clean as possible yet still accessible in case access is needed.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Went out and flew my daughters 61" 3DHS Extra 330LT today. What a blast! That plane flies like a much larger plane than it is. Very little coupling in knife edge flight compared to the 40% 330LX that I fly. Very predictable and just a fun plane to fly. Now I want one
