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

    My workshop project... Is... Well... My workshop bench! 2x4's glued together, plained, sanded, and finished with Danish oil. This bench is overkill but designed to a 50cc tail won't hang over the edge.

    71" AJ Slick Building, Flying, and Questions

    Well finally took a knife to the horizontal. There is a lot of balsa pieces now! Thinking about making control horns out of phenolic board, seems to be stiff enough and a little thicker than the G10.

    IMAC Carden Pro 124 Build, My Dream Plane

    It's sullivan Gold-N-Rod 4-40 S517 or S518. It's the highest strength push rod they still make. The carbon filled used to be the best... until they decided not to make it anymore. http://sullivanproducts.com/GoldnRodMainFrame.htm The catch is with the black rod is that it's pretty rigid and...

    Aileron Differential: Why it’s so important and how to set it up

    Good Article. I've had adverse yaw in a H9 hellcat that was pretty bad. I couldn't turn with out rudder (plane skid through the air). One thing to keep in mind is that some aerobatic planes are very symmetrical so the lift coefficient is the same on either side of the wing (top and bottom)...

    Attention, Hobby Flyers: Come Monday Some Of You May Need An FAA Drone Pilot Certificate.

    Keep in mind that if you use a buddy box the PIC (pilot in control) could be the person without the goggles making this not a true FPV thus falling under the original ruling for section 336. This isn't new news really. I'm not sure I would trust the Forbes interview personally. I think the...

    Need some advice on a new 30cc 3D plane.

    This is what I would do if I could walk into a store and see one for myself... love the scheme. I have the electric 60" Extra 300EXP and am still tweaking it (CG and motor angle has way too much down thrust) but I bought it based on it's track record and I don't think it'll disappoint. I...

    NEW servo mount

    I dont like it... :thumbsdown: too heavy and can introduce RMI, and doesn't supply any cushion like the high quality plastic one does. :attaboy:

    NEW servo mount

    Do you have the flush cut type servo mount? You know the ones with less drag and aren't as sharp as razor blades?

    71" AJ Slick Building, Flying, and Questions

    Anybody use replacement control horns other than the OEM, they are out of stock (anybody know who else might have them?), cannot seem to find a replica with the square base. I'll probably get a couple from redwingRC/aerobeez or maybe try that 6star place (they dont list prices, but have the...

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    Old Pics, have been revised (look at the last pic). But I am not using a switch, just a deans connector. Doesn't get much more robust (HD) than that! So I'm not worrying about that. Thanks for the tip though
