    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread-

    Looks like I am a little behind. I haven't even tried vyton! I've been using this stuff from TDRC... Not really sure what it is, but I like it. http://www.taildraggerrc.com/medium-blue-high-quality-gas-line-1-8-id-20cc-170cc/

    Aerobeez 78" Extra 330 Raiden Build Guide

    looked like a down/cross wind landing! Nice flying plane. I haven't been hearing much on the DLE40cc nor the revised VVRC 40cc nor the RCGF 40cc! been pretty quiet. Like to see your thoughts on performance.

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    Ok I just found this out. The second batch of carbon Cubs have an amendment to the center of gravity. This is why mine flew so cruddy. Old manual = 151-159mm or 5 7/8-6 1/4 New manual = 100-120mm!!!! I am so lucky to still have it in one piece! Once I fix the tail wheel, retune the engine...

    Workshop Tips for Better Building

    I like the building board idea. I've always done foam board, the the particle or MDF with cork on the top (48" by 20") sounds like a nice idea.

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    Maiden complete.... Engine is still very finicky. Had to richen it more inside the cowl. Full power takeoff was scale, I really wanted more power. Plane tracked strait w/no trim but was super touchy. The wind picked up and was swirling around so that didn't help the over all feel of the plane...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I just got back from our little gravel strip with a weed wacker... got about 70% done when I ran out of wire :cautious:... but I'm getting ready to head out in a few hours and do some long awaited flying myself before it blows 50MPH tonight!!!!!

    New DA 60 not start

    I'm not sure how much experience you have with gas engines, I'm limited as well... but make sure the plug is fully seated in the plug cap - making contact with the spring and the cap. They are very hard to insert when new. You can buy a RCXL timing light that will let you know if the sensor chip...

    Giant Scale Twin engine planes

    http://www.bigplanes.nl/contents/en-uk/p271_F7F-Tigercat-ESM-rc-scale-model-airplane-arf-warbird-vliegtuig-plane.html Always thought this would be a cool plane F7F Tigercat 83" wing twin 20cc (it's a small giant) Curious how big are you thinking about going?

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    I have done more engine tuning and have the engine running much better as previously mentioned. I actually don't have a flight report yet... I was disassembling the plane to take it to the field when my dog backed into the rudder and broke the servo case (internal stop). So waiting on that...

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

    I glued sets of three 2x4x8's, plained them, then used 8" timber locks to tie them together. They are then pocket holed from the lower support to the 2x4's then hand plained on the top... A lot of work
