    70cc FLEX Ultimate assembly thread.

    I'd put a 1/4-1/2" bump in the aft air exit. You could just cover a little piece of ply and glue it to the front former there. Maybe some tri-stock if you want to get fancy. I'd be happy to draft something in CAD for you, shipping and item to Canada might be tricky.

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

    Forgot to share this video from a slope soaring event I attended last May in Monterey Bay California. Kinda fun to try something different. https://forum.alofthobbies.com/index.php?threads/camp-n-fly-2024-may-4-5th.3806/page-24

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

    The flying field is actually a USFS bus parking lot for the Mendenhall Glacier Visitors Center. The busses drop of the tourists and then come here to park. Some companies actually start some tours from this location. Juneau got 1.8 million tourists from May-Oct . . . the town is 35K residents...

    Joe Nall 2025

    I've thought about an RV delivery service, but I can't really pin down those details enough for it to make sense in my head. LOL There is something special about flying your own airplane at Joe Nall. I felt pretty bad asking for fuel donations as I flew a lot! Donated some redline oil for the...

    Joe Nall 2025

    Recovery time should be about right and I think the best thing to do after that is actually using the replacement part to help the muscles bond right. Your going to have to play that one by ear my friend. You can always pull the sticks on my plane if I do actually make it.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Black - negative Green - positive White - neutral The item description shows green/black power, if you look at the premade wire, the green is in the middle position (positive) It’s very nice wire. I like the Hanson premium, this AR, and been told the power box wire it’s top shelf.

    Joe Nall 2025

    Joe Nall 2025 May 9-16 https://tta.aero/jn-2/ Anyone going this year? I've been thinking about it a lot. Mostly the logistics of bringing my 104NG again and figuring out the best way to get a used gas motor there without breaking any TSA or Airline rules with Hazmat from Alaska to South...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    I have a couple of these I got used off of R C G but could never quite get one to work. I didn't try the other one, but I've ended up using the multi switch with the magnetic option instead. Let me know if you'd like them (or anyone else on here). I think they're like a $25ea but could send them...

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

    @BalsaDust I’m leaning towards the pocket radio! Same functionality as the zorro, only draw backs with the zorro is it’s slightly bigger with smaller batteries. The pocket radio has a tiny screen and no slider on the other side as well as some odd trim switches. I’ve seen a guy have his vario...

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

    I've been eyeing it for a while. A lot of places I travel are near coastal slopes, being able to pack a glider or two with a small radio would be easier than my wooden crate my wife says looks like a coffin. . . I like the pocket radio idea too and might have to give that another look. ELRS...

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

    Been working on this little flying wing called the micro DammitE from AngelWing Designs. I’ve seen some people rattle can glider frames and cover with clear covering. I decided this little frame would be a good test subject. It’s a rustoleum fluorescent pink and yellow that when sprayed wet...

    Scale Sig 1/3 Scale Spacewalker

    I've recently started using SuperPhatic glue. I'm pretty happy with the results and it cures in about 15min. Still use CA for tacking, when I use a lot of CA, I end up setting up a small fan to blow the fumes away from me. https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/super-phatic/DLMAD21.html
