    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    5 day weekend came and went just like that, it's been an interesting morning at the office, being gone 3 days and all :oblong:

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

    Had a relatively productive day today since I had the day off. Started with finding my RF7 software this morning and repairing the dongle so it would work again. Then received my new Jeti DPS40 electronic switch later in the day, got to work putting it into my Edge. This should safely provide...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Well I wanted to fly the Edge again today but to make a long story short, I left my Tx case at the field for the Edge and I had to make an emergency trip out to our vacation home last night to bring my dad a spare key for his truck (2.5 hours away) since his was no longer working. Decided to...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Well the little changes I made did the trick! She flies AWESOME!! I have a Falcon 28x9.5 propeller coming for it that'll hopefully smooth out the throttle response a little, I have a really deep curve to keep the engine from blasting out of any on the deck maneuvers with the 27x11.

    Help! 33% Pilot Yak 54 CG?

    Are you sure it's 97" and not 107" A 33% Yak 54 is technically ~107".

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Well the day finally came, had to let 2 of my airplanes go to a new owner. My 91" Aerobeez Slick 540 and my 70" Aerobeez Slick Pro. The new owner came and picked them up today, completely RTF minus receiver. Had many a fond times with them, but it's time to move onto bigger and better stuff...

    I don't know but I would certainly hope that in 2.5 years it would have at least grown on him :eek:

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

    Finished the setup on my 2 rudder servos last night. A 3" double and a 1.5" single SWB arm with a link in between the 2 arms. I love it when 2 servos move in perfect synchronicity :epic: And all of this translates to roughly 40 degrees of rudder throw, which I think should be plenty.

    I wouldn't be a very good rep of Hitec if I didn't know the product inside and out :eek::D

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    I'm betting that really thin section of the cowl between the intake and the muffler will eventually crack. I'd reinforce the inside of it with some fiberglass at least to strengthen it up. Also I agree with the permatex, Terry Wiles did a really good video on how to make the gasket from that...

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

    Your powers of observation serve you well. They are actually the same servo, the only difference between the HSB-9360, 70, and 80 is 2 gears inside of them that change the speed of the output shaft. Since we are out of stock on 9380's, I just got a 9370 and changed the 2 gears inside of it to...

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

    I just added a thin washer to 3 of the mounting standoffs between the engine and the standoff, the spinner is just ever so slightly off center if you REALLY look for it, but otherwise it's unnoticeable. I also added my 2nd rudder servo, still waiting on SWB arms from NorthWest RC (actually USPS).

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

    More stick time on the Edge yesterday. I let an old school TOC guy take the sticks for a minute to see what he thought, said it needs more right thrust and a little up thrust so I will shim the engine a little to the right and a little to the up- the CG itself is nearly dead nuts. Also, the...

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

    Finished up the rudder linkages this morning since I have the day off. I know one rudder servo seems like it's not enough but there's 2 things about these servos, 1. They don't blow back, they simply stop moving if the load becomes too great, and 2. They have a constant torque that...

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

    SO the rudder got a little bit more in depth than I really wanted it to on the Edge. I thought I'd just be able to glue 2 horns into the left side of the rudder and call it good. Well the new horns I ordered were not the same as the original horns so off they came along with all of the wood...

    SOLD! HS-M-7990TH (2) and HS-7980TH (6) servos

    I have 2 HS-M7990TH and 6 HS-7980TH servos I want to sell. They all have approximately 25-30 flights on them, they are still in like-new condition. I'd like to sell all 8 of these for $650 SHIPPED with the 2" SWB arms. If I have to sell each one individually then I'm asking $90 each with arm...
