    Extreme Flight 100"/105" Slick 580 EXP!!!

    The airplane is still in development, the only person we know that has one (or two rather) is @JaseTheAce since he's been directly involved with testing and development with the airplane. I think he said sometime early next year is when they want to try to have it out on the market but there's...

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

    Tell you what, after installing a new tie rod, drag link, tie rod ends, front axle shafts, lower door hinge pin on the drivers door, drivers door latch, getting an alignment, an oil change, new radiator shroud, new coolant overflow bottle, and recharging the AC with straight R134a to top it all...

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

    Past several nights have been occupied with fixing things here and there on the Jeep, none of which have been straightforward :omg: Wish I could be working on airplanes but I got nothing that needs workin on. The good news is the Jeep is getting newer one part at a time :laughing:

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I have not flown the 20cc MXS-R. From what I've been told it's a very fun airplane as well.

    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    We can't forget the obligatory flight video!! Wind conditions were kind of odd this weekend. Wind would blow left to right and then the next minute it'd be blowing right to left. There were a couple of times where there were some vortexes rolling down the runway that made it a bit hairy :oblong:

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Well at first I thought it would be just another foamy, I've flown hundreds of foam airplanes. But then I actually flew it and was shocked at just how much fun it actually was, boy was I wrong! It feels just like a built up 48" airplane, flies very locked in, GOBS of fun to get right onto the...

    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    I have some pro tips for you guys to help get the best performance out of your airplane. Heat is the #1 enemy of all electronics and after some aggressive flying I discovered my ESC getting hot enough to cause the thermal cut to kick in. I decided the best thing to do would be to get some...

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

    Well.... :dancing-poop: Went out to finish up the Yak today and discovered the canopy had warped so badly last night when it was drying that it doesn't fit the Yak anymore :(:omg: Tried to gently massage it back into place and unwarp it but the new canopy glass broke :face-palm: I've decided...

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

    That's the plan, just need to fit the canopy properly, fit the control horns to the rudder, then cut and baffle the cowl and she'll be ready to go. Come to think of it I should have glued the rear supporting plate to the canopy frame and matched it to the fuselage before gluing and cutting the...

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

    I feel like I level'd up tonight with my repair abilities. Got the new canopy plastic installed onto its frame- it's not totally perfect and I may have to trim the rear flush with the fuselage but this will work perfectly, she's not a beauty queen anyways. Onto the cowl tomorrow!

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

    Got my 107 yak parts today, lot sooner than I was expecting!!!! Rudder was first up, Tony supplies just a bare rudder that's covered, so I had to match the trim with the supplied covering. I'd say it turned out pretty good, except the rudder is just a hair larger than the old one and that threw...

    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    My best guess is it was around 55 amps or so, the 40 amp ESC was cutting back the throttle most of the time. But it sure pulled awesome :D I have a new motor coming for the airplane, a 3542-1000 which most are using with 13x6.5 or 12x8 props and pulling about 42 amps WOT static...
