    Went flying in the cold on Thursday. Was with the family at my aunts vacation home in Salton City, did some down on the deck shenanigans with the Slick Pro :cool:

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

    My main issue with Epoxy this time of year is my workshop is always cold, so it takes forever for the epoxy to pool down, then squeeze out!

    LOVE'N DESERT AIRCRAFT!!!

    I've never felt my DA120 has lacked power and it's an older V1. Certainly it's no rocket ship but it does pull the airplane right up on out if I need it to.

    LOVE'N DESERT AIRCRAFT!!!

    Gives me comfort in knowing that there is excellent manufacturer support with my DA. I've been on the fence about either buying a DA120 or a GP123 but I think I'll stick with the DA120 for my next airplane. I've heard far too many good stories about DA.

    Beautiful weekend this weekend. Perfect weather for flying, though I only managed 6 flights on the 107 Yak. The Slick Pro got some working out too out at the dez: Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

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

    Decided that since I have the day off today that I should do some basic maintenance to the Yak. Had to re-glue a couple of stringers back in place and then moved my flight packs back a few inches (or rather 20 :eek:). Made a new mounting plate for them to give them something solid to mount to...

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    Yeah the 90* antenna orientation is typically for better antenna diversity, it lets the receiver compensate for multipath interferences- in layman's terms, it gives the receiver 2 orientations to see the signal in the event one gets blocked.

    Joe, your antennas should be 90* to each other, no? :oblong:

    Not at all, even running it for the longest periods of time (completely filling or draining the tank). I'm going to tinker with it for a little bit to see if I can't come up with an improvement to its current design.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Was a nice 85*F today. Got 4 more flights in on the Yak, 8 total this weekend. Looks like my Secraft pump developed a bit of a leak without my knowing and caused the insulation on the input wires to peel off. Little did I know that they twisted together until it shorted out on me after I was...

    Gorgeous warm day of flying today. Forgot the wing bolts for the Rockstar :eek: so I couldn't fly it, but there was plenty of down on the deck shenanigans with the 107" Yak :cool:

    Put the servo back in the Multiplex Rockstar I pulled out the other day, good as new. And finally got the Multiplex Wingstabi all setup and dialed in, ready for a test run tomorrow. All batteries charged, just need to load up and roll out!!!

    Your rig with trailer probably gets better MPG than my Jeep does just by itself. I'm almost afraid to tow with it... :bull:

    This is a Wingstabi from Multiplex, it's something we are looking at adding for larger airplanes.

    It friggin ROCKS!! It's so much fun, but I think the CG is still off a bit. Will have to play with it a bit more this weekend to get it dialed in. This one we have a new motor we have been testing out that is a ballistic missile on 4S. The ailerons may look small and it doesn't seem like there's...
