    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    @Bhughes if you really want to impress us, you need to tie the line to the rudder of the plane and pull the fish out with the plane ;)

    DLE 170 dead cylinder and piston

    Wrist pin retainers are all intact. After having one break on a 3w that was the first thing I uspected :-) As far as debri goes, I don't see how that could have happened because the plane had been flyngnfor about 5 minutes before this happened and was running great. It makes me real leary of...

    DLE 170 dead cylinder and piston

    Hello Everyone, Back to issues with the DLE 170. This time it is dead :( Had everything running great and was having fun flying some IMAC when I was on an upline, not any longer than usual and no rolls or snaps it started to die. I tried flipping the throttle a couple times but, no response. I...

    That kind of joinery would make for a super strong airframe!

    IMAC practice tips for new pilots.

    @-Rick- I was the same way at my first contest. The nerves settled down on subsequent contests. It is a very addicting segment of the hobby and a blast to be involved with. Great people and you never stop learning. If you really want to get the inside scoop, go to a judging school! What an eye...

    IMAC practice tips for new pilots.

    If you can video it and then post to some of the forums with active IMAC fliers you could get some useful insight and tips I am sure.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Went out flying today in 37 degree temps with an 8 to 12 mph wind from the north. It was cold but, I had to try out a 30x13W Falcon prop on the 330. It pulls like a banshee but, still rips way to easy. I would like to try a Mejzlik 30x13 before looking at different options. Don't want to spend...

    Tips for Attaching Sensors to Engine Cooling Fins

    Could you just put a piece of heat shrink over the cable and then synch it down to the head where you want it and shrink the tubing? I think that would hold it in place.

    So @Spats, how do you REALLY feel about multi-rotors :) Nice rig!

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

    After I got the 330LX I had to remove some stickers from the wings and it had tore the black off part of this wing so, last night I decided to replace that piece. Now both wings match again :) I know the curves aren't perfect but, in the air, who will know :) It looks a lot better then when it...

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

    I know that feeling :) Want a Jeti DS-14 but, have to wait until I can sell some stuff or the mowing and umpiring season get here so I can replenish the hobby fund. My "new to me" 330LX, DLE170 and RE3's pretty much tapped that account and then some!

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

    Sad to say but, I used my rudder very little UNTIL I started flying IMAC. Now I am VERY familiar with the rudder and glad I setup the servos I did for it :)

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

    I spent the weekend in Shreveport, LA at the SHARKS RC club for the South Central Judging School. Had a blast! Can't wait to get flying again.

    330LX Help

    I have relocated the 2 5000mah batteries so they are as close to the top of the fuselage as they can be for where the plane balances. Will be a week or two before I have time to test the theory.
