    Da-35

    Figured I should put this DA35 engine run on this thread as well for the sake of organization. No numbers to report, just that it's a great running engine right out of the box. Super impressed by this powerplant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4-i2hXtuA0

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    Me neither, but it's sure a coincidence. Wondering if the tranny had to think for a few seconds... Battery connection (deans-deans) was solid as well. The 6208 receiver is the standard two antenna type, no satellite antennas available. They are apart from each other, but both facing down/away...

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    Got about four break-in flights on this beauty so far. It is buttery smooth flying, Super clean! Mine has a very small coupling to the gear in knife edge. It also floats pretty good too! Man I was having such a good time flying yesterday when.... I had a brief brown-out.... I was in a...

    Hitec's all new FunCub XL!!!

    So on my original fun cub I made my own circuit board with LEDs, alternating landing lights, nav, flashing strobes, fading beacon... It's almost identical to what this one has other than the beacon is on the belly rather than the tail. I almost feel cheated, because I made a custom design that...

    Something New Is Coming.

    ARS-300 = blend of a slick and a laser!?!? :bouncy: OOOOoooo I think this would be an excellent airframe. I wish AJ had a 60" version, but looking at the past, I'm sure they will!

    Thanks! The DLE35 has been reliable and has plenty of power in my 71" Slick, but I keep wondering if I have a lemon. Either way it pulls that plane around just fine, just doesn't have a consistently crisp exhaust note as I would like, cannot seem to tune it out without sacrificing performance...

    Well let's just say you put on 4 jetcats at P200's with 50lb thrust each = 200lbs of thrust (lift a smaller person), with one gallon of fuel it would last 5min. So thier specs are right at least. If a guy can do it with an oversized quad... Who's not to say a quad jetcat. Just my 2cents... But...

    Well it's almost been 1 year..... I finally maidened the Laser this Saturday!!! It really does fly on rails folks. Mine came out a little nose heavy turns out, but nothing a few clicks of trim and burning through some fuel couldn't fix! Just a few clicks of aileron as well, I did not laterally...

    add or 470 AD Rivets?? 470 AD rivets are used on full scale aircraft. They are identified with a recessed dimple on the top on the raised rivet head. ha ha ha, I doubt you'll go that far!! Looking good though man!!

    Something New Is Coming.

    It already has a name! It's called a "stabilator" I think the issue is that it wouldn't be strong enough under the loads a 3D bird goes through at where the hinge point would be.

    Something New Is Coming.

    I like the ARS-300 design. The vertical is a little forward than most aircraft designs, I can tell that AJ did quite a few mods from the original airframe. The Horizontal is tiny, but the elevator is ginormous. He also made a larger rudder. I wonder if he'll make some smaller versions??? I'm...
