    Twin turbine RC B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber

    Oooff, fortunate bump indeed... Just curious when it was time to abort that takeoff? or how? Not sure how ground steering works on a delta wing with a row of tires on either side. The landing was in the opposite direction, was there any wind? Looks like the forward momentum with the reverse...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    The marine style has adhesive in it and is a little thicker I think. The idea is that it seals the exposed wire and wont allow the elements to seep into the insulation or components. This is what to use on the snake skin looming because not only will it keep the braided looming from fraying, but...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Made my MPX connectors for both wings. Still need to make the receptacles but I also need to figure out where to put the receiver(s). And the batteries, or basically finish up everything else and do that last for CG. Using the marine heat shrink, and added hot glue in between the pins for...

    Much better. Still on a diet though... need to enclose it a bit more. Color makes a big difference too. Version 3 is being printed now.

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Mine came without wrinkles, I used some blue tape in between the ailerons and flaps, peeled it off and the red trim came with it. So hit it all with an iron anyways.

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    LOL! I said it was a TANK. WAY too big. It's on a diet in CAD and being reprinted in silver as a version 2. I still think it'll be an improvement over the stock hard foam wheel, and it's cheap.... the optional scale tail wheel is expensive, so I'm making my own ha ha.

    All I can say is that it’s a tank. Need to trim it up and make it smaller/thinner. My concept design works though! Looking at a 2” wheel in there. It will be printed in silver eventually

    Spent a large portion of my morning trying to get my printer to behave. Used my other printer, with better success. I failed to set up my supports, but for a concept it works.

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Are you using the V2 tanks? I really like the V1's but the V2's I'm skeptical about. I don't like how you have to CA the lines in place, and the vent tubes appear kinked at the bend. They are probably the lightest tank on the market though.

    Designed a tail wheel bracket for my 110” timber... couple little things left and then time to print it. OEM is 1.4” wheel, this would be for a 1.75-2” wheel

    Not sure what size fuel tank to put in here for my 55... I'd imagine a 20 oz would be perfect. Since I cannot find a 20oz tank, I went with a 24oz... Seems way too big to me. Anybody have insight to a DLE55 flight times with a 17 or 24 oz tank?

    Hard to beat I think. It's stronger than a 35cc, reliable, 100% serviceable if it's a little too worn out, just send it in!

    GP 76 twin gas engine

    I've been looking at this thing for quite some time. I don't like being the test subject on a new product, but now that they've been flying for the whole summer, I've heard nothing but good comments, cannot beat the price with mufflers and the power that comes with it. Someone mentioned that no...

    Going to use some MPX connectors for the wings. Always takes me a while to figure out where to hardmount them. This seems like the ideal location since the can be plugged in from the top or through the canopy.
