    I’m going out flying thread 2019

    When I was flying yesterday. A fellow club member was concerned that he won’t be able to fit a larger plane in this car. Toyota Corolla maybe? I looked at him and said challenge accepted. Took the wings off my 75” edge and with the tail in the front passenger seat and the spinner in the rear...

    3DHS 75" EDGE 540 V2 Assembly Thread

    Had three more flights on this plane. Lots of fun. Best Knife Edge turn I have ever done... practically a full circle!! I’m getting about a 4min flight time on two 3700 6S. Very floaty. Put an ounce in the tail and it helped high alpha a bit for me. Lots of tail authority to push the plane...

    I’m going out flying thread 2019

    I was listening to the recording of the live turbo timber Q & A and they said the UMX timber is the best selling UMX they have. That says quite a lot. I have one and must say for a micro it flies excellent.

    They are definitely different though. The spline locking bolt and area is different. Either way, curious why there doesn't seem to be a supplier in the US.

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

    Sounds about right! I have carpel tunnel from riveting on floats 'back in the day", now working on airliners on the line and reflecting on how I got here today and realizing how blessed I really am. Sometimes when tinkering my hands go numb, lets you know you're alive and a reminder that I am...

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

    So I was perusing the interwebs like I always do and found myself looking at the Kuza website to find that they also make servo arms, and a could very nice tail wheels and trinkets. This is all great except I have no idea where one can purchase these items or find prices...

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    -13C/8F here... garage is cold!! Just came back from a much needed vacation with 80F weather. Weird to think in less than a 24hr period I went from swimming in an ocean to shoveling snow in a parka. HA! Good thing I can crank the heater and work on projects!

    Starting to catch up to you! Got another 3-4" last night. Except it's 33F now. Sounds better than -4F. Supposed to warm up to the low 40's and rain by the end of this week.... Typical for around here. It's winter!!! NOT. :cautious: I wish mother nature would just make up it's mind sometime.

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

    Sticks are glued in place. Far from perfect but the important parts are aligned well. That was a lot of work. But that’s ok... because I opened up my door and saw 3-4” of new snow on my truck just now.

    Not too shabby for venturing into the unknown world of scratch build modification. Need to notch to make some room for the 1/4” balsa sticks. Makes some lightinging holes and glue away.
