    89" SkyWing Laser 260 V2 Assembly Thread

    Some of the newer skywing planes use Oracover now except for the metalic colors. Oracover cub yellow-30 is what you should search for

    Would have been fun to meet you there! I had such a great time despite the weather at times. Met sooo many people I've conversed with over the last couple decades that I got to meet in person and met even more people that are hoping to meet up again next year. I really hope I can make it happen.

    Just a wee little 9g! Probably not a tower Pro MG! LOL. Reminds me of the time I was watching a club member do high speed passes with a Super Sportster and I heard it, I then quickly asked everyone else if they heard it and during his next pass it made the sound and promptly EXPLODED the right...

    I got a couple Goosky's as well this last year. Nice little machines, and quite the respect for those who fly 3D helis. I'm a fixed wing dude, but this sure keeps you on your toes more!

    Only two glow motors now. OS Gemini 120FT and a Saito 82. I keep meaning to sell them but nostalgia has me holding on. Same goes for some old balsa kits. I really miss flying a few glow birds: Mojo40 55AX, SuperCub OS71FS, Twinstar 2x40LA's, Strega .46AX. I think the 55AX will be my forever...

    When I was at Joe Nall I saw Jase Dussia’s Raven 180 cowl had a screen in the front of the air scoop. I went on Amazon and found the closest thing to it which was 30 micron. If you put your had 8” in front of you and blow then introduce the mesh screen the air flow is diminished considerably...

    are you getting an error message or just cant find them? It might be a permission issue (enable the website to allow access to your album). New apple product software allows you to grab the focused image and delete the background if you press and hold which looks like what happened there?

    Futaba 18SZ for many years now. I hope I can return again soon! It was a hoot. All the rain was temporary. . . I'm used to rain... sure there was a torrential downpour a couple times... I was prepping for a flight along with four other people when the wind changed directions and I heard Neal...

    Joe Nall 2024! Here are some shots of my 104” Skywing Extra NG! I had a great time, met lots of people and got 16 flights in. People graciously donated fuel and Joe Lewis helped my new GP123 come to life! Couple rainy days but it was kind of needed so I could take a required break.

    Well I’ve just about finished the boxes… I’m not confident enough that it’ll make it there within my timing. Lots of phone calls but kind of hitting a wall. Might have to do just buy something there in the end after all… :beaten:
