    Ok, where is everyone getting the Carbon Fiber covering or is it real CF? If so, where are you getting it?

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Dude! It was already past sunset when we finally got it in the air :) I wasn't really worried about the video at that point :) Just wanted to be able to see the plane when it landed :) Now tomorrow night we may have some video of the Edge and the Assassin :) We have 6 of the assassins in the...

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

    Rob, stock mufflers with a Mejzlik 32x10. Your friend needs to get rid of the Xoar prop! I have a 30x12 and it will make your ears bleed. The stock mufflers get pretty loud but, they are tolerable and I didn't really run it up much in the video. I am hoping to put the RE3s from the Extra on it...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Went out tonight and was able to get the Edge remaidened :) The DLE170 was running good until the last touch and go. It started acting like the ignition was cutting out. Battery is at 87% and all connections are good. Will try it out again tomorrow night and see what happens after extensive...

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

    Between Friday night and all day Saturday I managed to get the DLE170 back on the Edge and running! I installed dual 32oz 4titude tanks and an EQ6 also. The DLE runs great! I did a little bit of baffling up front to get it running andI will say that just redirecting the air to the center of the...

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

    You can get all of the parts from AI :) When I run another 3W, that is how I will be doing headers. The pre-bent ones are always to close to the choke and throttle linkage for my liking.

    New EFI DA-120 shown at WRAM

    I saw the price also and figure I can do a WHOLE LOT of messing with carbs to save $2000+ on an engine :)

    Hey Rob, 157 or 170 on this bird? Is there any way you can center the fuel tank on the cg? The closer you can get it, the better :-)

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

    Tell me about it! I am hoping to have either the Edge or the LX running before Saturday so I can get some more practice in. The roller at the end of the sequence is killing me! The rest of it is just getting used to multiple items in one maneuver :)

    DA120 idle

    1200 in a twin is where I find my happy place :) Less shake and if it goes a little rich it isn't going to die instantly.

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

    Well I worked on the baffling of the Edge some more. The engine sits real high in the cowl so I had to angle the bottom of the inlets to get the air a least midway on the cylinders. Also prototyped a semi-boxed in rear baffling. Any input would be greatly appreciated :-)

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

    Don't look like much but, got the lower piece of baffle cut for the Edge seeing as how the parts for the DLE 170 will be here Tuesday :-) Also got the mounts glued to the cowl. Will be laminating the balsa with 1/32 ply to keep the weight down. Should be able to finish the top half of the...
