The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Well I'm sure you've heard me say it a million times by now, but the 73" AJ Laser is my favorite 35cc plane out there. You are going to have an excellent flying aircraft there!- AKNick

Should be able to program your differential through your 18SZ easy peasy. Deflections shouldn't be a concern at all. Are you going to use a pulley for the top cable I assume?- AKNick

The extra slick flew on rails inverted. mini-crackyak is fun indoors and outside with no wind, I'm on my second crack yak 32" just a fun all arounder, I have the XL and it's great fun but not indestructible like the 32" series. Had a puddle star once too! If I were going to buy another It would...- AKNick

You speak truth. I've noticed their line of gliders keep growing lately. The thermik nice beach beater for sloping. It also has a tow option with their "tow truck" That could be a ton of fun with a buddy.- AKNick

Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.
Nothing else so far. Ordered direct from JBM. Two headers, and two TRA-70-L and one TRC-60-L, I think the 60 was too small for my GP76. I've installed the 70 in my 89" laser (pending flight test), and am currently putting one in a 120" TBM. The TRC-60-L is their best selling cannister for the...- AKNick

Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.
I have the AR pin flag Gen1 like yours, Gen2, and Gen3 (Just different cases and input styles). The device pulls the juice from the highest voltage battery and distributes it through the two leads. I always remove my batteries before charging, or just swap them out with fresh ones. Neat!, I...- AKNick

Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.
I keep meaning to get some of those lugs. I've been putting the thermistor through silicone tubing so it's exposed on the other side, pushing it in between the cylinder fins, with a dab of RTV to hold it in place. It does work, just doesn't look as clean as that!- AKNick

Airplane Design Fusion 360
Just depends on the format I believe. Usually pretty easy. But I dont have AutoCAD or F360..... yet.... F360 seems very powerful. I just keep getting concerned the hobbiest platform restrictions would prevent me trying to make and sell stuff in the future... the full price subscription software...- AKNick

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Right!?! It's amazing how the SW planes just fall together. Everything just fits and the finish/fit is great. I've been putting together my 120" TBM and it's been a lot of sanding/gluing to get things to fit well, normally I'd say that's expected in an ARF. But skywing planes are spoiling me...- AKNick
