    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    Will you have enough back pressure for the engine to run properly? I don't how much is enough, but I do know they have to have some :)

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    This is interesting. I have never heard of using different holes on different servos in a multi servo wing panel. I have always used the same hinge points on all connections and have never had an issue. Enlighten me @49dimes :) Maybe I will run into a situation where this will help solve an...

    Wind Correction Recommendations

    Practice helps, but trust me, go to a contest! It will help you understand how everything flows and you will meet people that will be more than willing to help you get on the right track. My first contest was early this year and @BikeRacer was at the contest and was a tremendous help along with...

    Maiden Jet Crash

    Roll on power and go around, but I wasn't there so maybe there was some reason that he couldn't go around. I hate seeing that :(

    @Xpress good to see you got it back down in one piece. Could have been a lot worse.

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

    Go to the shop! That is what I do and then 3 hours later ask myself why I did that because it is now 11 or 12 and 6 comes real fast :)

    SOLD! 102" QQ Special Edition Yak $1300 - LPU

    The 106CS is a monster on that plane, but not overbearing. A sweet match. It will fly the full basic sequence at 1/2 throttle and do it with ease :) The plane is a very nice flying plane. I am just funding a 330LX for next year :)

    IE 10 auto corrects for common words, but off the wall stuff it just flags it.

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    I do believe they are a touch heavier than the Dubro's, but they are sexy :) Yes they are more cash, but with as much as I fly, I felt just not having to switch out wheels all of the time was a worthwhile trade off. Plus, when the bushings do need replacing, 8 bucks plus shipping and I have good...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I may be wrong, but I didn't smell any fossil fuels being burned up...... How does your plane stay in the air without "the smell" :)

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    When I got my 42% Edge the wheels that came with it had aluminum hubs with brass bushings, much beefier than what those look like. They were dead after half a season. I have since been using White Rose Eng tires and wheels and I haven't had to replace a set of bushings yet, although I may do it...

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

    I love the smell as much as the next guy, but once you smell 98 octane mixed 50:1 with Redline..... now THAT is a sweet smell :)
