    IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

    Interesting how you mounted the optical sensor. I mounted mine in the top half of the cowl.

    IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

    Cam, I noticed the vent line from the smaller tank is going straight down. When you are in a downline, any fuel in the small tank will drain through the vent line. If you can loop it around the back of the small tank or run the vent line behind the tanks, it will alleviate this situation :)...

    Savox 1283

    I am using 1283's in the 330LX that I use for IMAC. I have 2 per wing, 1 per elevator and 2 on the rudder. Love the servos! They do have a tendency to draw a little more juice than some others I have used but, I am running dual 5000 lipo's for the rx's and I have had many times where I have...

    For Sale Mejzlik props

    @highonthai Buy the prop from Adi! I bought the EVO from him and couldn't believe how fast it got here and how well it was packaged! If you decide not to buy it, I will be buying it from him. BTW, I live in Arkansas and the prop got here in 4 days :)

    I have tried to contact him but, no reply so I will be starting from ground zero for data :-(

    RC Propeller Database by Lojik

    I am working on resurrecting a prop database site. It will incorporate electric as well as fuel based data. I am working through the data structures and hope to have something workable within the next 2 to 3 weeks. http://rcpropdb.com will be the new domain for the prop database. I am...

    Another 3 flights last night that were flawless :) I now have approx. 27 flights on the engine and the power still amazes me every time I fly :)

    IMAC car stickers

    Hey Adi, Can you change the .com to .org? Not sure if the .com is going to stay around much longer with the new site being .org. Just thoughts. I would love to get one of the stickers for my trailer :)

    IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

    Whose spinner is that? Mejzlik? The one I got from Bill Hempel has a really weak lightened back plate. I may give tru-turn a call and see if I can get a solid back plate from them without breaking the bank :)

    IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

    Cam, It may just be the way the picture was taken but, it looks like the choke plates are not open equally in the picture. Where did you get the titanium hardware from?

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

    That is what I used to do before I got back into planes :) I only dreamed of having something that nice. Wish I could see that in person :)

    Share your ideas for safe pre-flight and flying

    I have actually started doing this just in case something doesn't work I can take care of it before buttoning up the canopy :)

    Basic engine tuning.

    @Flyingjon it sounds like you may be running into a vapor lock scenario. How soon after landing are you trying to fire the engine up again? Check the fuel line location and see if there is a way to move it further away from the exhaust. Also, check to see if there is a way you can get some more...

    Triple Tree Aerodrome, AOPA Mag Article

    They do have the Heli extravaganza, e-week and a chilly fly in January I believe.

    Share your ideas for safe pre-flight and flying

    People have accused me of being anti-social because I will ignore anyone that comes up and tries to talk to me while assembling my plane at the field. The one time I did talk to someone I missed a power connection to one of the wings and had to pull the canopy off and plug the connector in, time...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Made it to the field last night with enough time to get 3 more flights on the LX. It was a beautiful evening and I was the only one at the field so, gas and go, 3 times in a row :)

    ZDZ 180 Owners' Thread

    Just found this forum :) Have around 5 1/2 gallons through my 180 now and love the way it runs. I believe I have the starting sequence figured out finally. I set the choke, flip the prop 4 times, turn the choke off and no more than 3 flips and I am running. I found that if I flip the engine...
