110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Maybe one day! 8" is a pretty good size, and superior to those OEM wheels.- AKNick

Wicked! Those AirTops are nice! I would have grabbed them if I hadn't snagged a used pair of PR's. What is your opinion on them?- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
I think I found a good solution for getting a larger prop for the DLE55 to fit a 3" spinner without a center bolt. No Limitz Spinners only have four bolts rather than six like EF and falcon...- AKNick

Right? I wonder why I have to grind away at it to fit my props too. I wish they provided a template for what prop your using. This is the same spinner I used for my 73” laser w/da35. I’m looking into the miracle center bolt spinners or a carbon center bolt spinner.- AKNick

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Driving home at 1:15am. Had to stay a few minutes late to write up our inop time clock. Thank you Lord! I would have been pancaked buy a cluster of 8 or so trees. I was the first on scene of what tripped the power. It’s been dry, I think they got uprooted by the 40mph gusts. My wife asked why I...- AKNick

3" Falcon Spinner with a 23x8 CF Falcon Prop. I e-mailed Falcon Propellers yesterday to inquire about fitment since there is no information stating that their prop wont work with this spinner or any combo for that matter. Would be nice to see a fitment guide or spreadsheet for their line of...- AKNick

Its a little tricky with the engine in there, It's about 6-7/8" to 6-15/16" by my calculations or about 175mm.- AKNick

Each tire is 1lb 2oz... Where did you find 8.5" wheels! 8" AirTops are the closest I can find: http://www.espritmodel.com/wheels-large-inflatable-tundra-airtop-w-ball-bearings-140---200mm.aspx- AKNick

Spinner is fine, it just doesn't accommodate the 23x8 Falcon prop.... LE and TE of the prop hit the mounting holes.- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
I have a bunch of wiring left to do, routing, throttle linkage, and battery/receiver. placement. Need to investigate my spinner options again. So this was the best time to check the CG, and check the weight. My calculations put this beast at 19.6lbs. Horizon says it’s 17-19, but with the...- AKNick

2” arms on the wings from NWRC in a pretty blue. Found a good way to support the wires on the ignition. Added a grommet in the tunnel cover, ignition power on the right side through the floorboard and the hall sensor wire on the left and through the engine box. A little copper ultra for...- AKNick

https://tdsna.henkel.com/NA/UT/HNAUTTDS.nsf/web/0726AE0C57475DFA882571870000D608/$File/222MS-EN.pdf Seems it's rated for 500F and not recommended for plastics or high oxygen environments, and is a low strength thread-locker. Im sure 3W testing has used it for this application and is fine though.- AKNick

Played with my tailwheel some more. Added my signature lol and revised some corners and edges. Took just under 3hrs to print. I print slow. Talk about deflection! Pretty happy with my little wheel geometry. Finally got the rudder cables set up. With a strait arm there is positive Ackerman...- AKNick

I can’t decide for you! After running two 6S batteries in my 75” edge and 4-4.5min flight times on whimsy 3300 batteries I decided I’ll stick with gasoline on the bigger birds. Flight time is my #1 winning argument. However, since nose weight is encouraged, you can support larger batteries...- AKNick

Finally put my elevator servos in place. Be sure to wick some CA in there before you do this. I need to figure out what I’m going to do for a receiver and batteries so I can make extension leads the right length.- AKNick
