    Post your servo, receiver, and battery setups

    Are you splitting the plane in the middle or running opposite control surfaces on separate rx's? I run dual rx's and split the controls like RA, LE and a rudder servo on one rx and the rest on the other rx. So as long as I have one rx still working, I can at least have some sort of control over...

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

    Had to move the bench forward so the angle wasn't as sharp clearing the rudder. The wheel pants still drag a touch but nowhere near what they would have if I han't moved the bench forward :) It was nice seeing both planes in the trailer :)

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

    Now that I have a 40% Extra 330LX and a 43% Edge 540 I had to make some adjustments to my trailer. I have to keep it so I can haul my mower in it as well as haul both planes so, off to the garage I went. The end result is exactly how I envisioned it, which doesn't normally happen for me. I did...

    Help picking out a prop for DA-150 ? !!

    Yes, definitely plug it off. It will keep fuel and oil residue from the inside of the plane. Just make sure you have enough opening for the air to exit. Should be approximately 4x the amount of intake area.

    RIP Azhar from Aztech Aeromodels

    RIP Azhar. I had called him a few times for parts and he even sent some bling out for one of our Fun Fly's for pilot prizes. Great guy. His family will be in our prayers.

    Veterans Day

    I am a Veteran, and a Veteran is someone, who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for an amount up to, and including, their life. Regardless of personal political views. It is an honor to serve one's country, and there are way too many people...

    PAU 30% Edge

    @heliperry, you may find that the Yak will fly more axial lines easier than the Edge. It will also stall easier. The Edge takes some practice to get it to stall consistently. The key word when getting the Edge to stall is PATIENCE and lots of it :)

    PAU 30% Edge

    I believe he is referencing flying IMAC with his 30%. The Edge will fly IMAC just fine. For Basic you can fly anything you want. I have seen 1.20 size glow planes flying in the Basic class and doing well! If it is windy, you will get thrown around more, but that is where the learning happens...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Put 4 more flights on the LX today and it is getting to be more fun every flight. One thing that I didn't think about and it almost cost me a dead stick landing is with the cooler temps, I need to open the high end needle just a touch. The engine has about 3 gallons through it now and is really...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Maidened the 3DHS 330LX yesterday and it flew like a dream! Just sent the boss a text and said "I will trade you some daylight for some darkness". He sent back "Have fun!" I love having a job that is this flexible :)

    Bowman rings....Gone!

    I just emailed the company and the smallest bore they make rings for is 2". The DLE 170 has a 2.05" bore. Other than that, most everything else is to small for them. I didn't bother asking about price when I found out this information.
