    Discussion Best Aircraft for the 100cc Engines

    Pilot RC Edge 540. On a 120 it's a rocketship, with a 100 it's plenty 3D-able.

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

    No pics for tonight but I finally figured out a problem that had been plaguing my ZDZ180. A loose throttle arm and a hair line crack against the carb in the fuel tubing, combined they were making the engine shut down on me when I returned to idle. Fixed both of those issues tonight, she should...

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

    You've only removed the smooth surface of the Elapor, cosmetically it's ugly but as far as structurality it does nothing. You want to use a very very low-tac masking tape for masking stuff.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Well this was a weekend of all work and almost no play at all, even at the field!! I wanted to fly the Aerobeez 40% Extra again but she just refused to run (I believe I have an air leak in my fuel tubing, not a problem with the engine itself). After swapping ignitions and checking other stuff I...

    Doesn't look like they have M4 washers/canopy locks, guess I'll have to search elsewhere. I did spend a small fortune at McMaster Carr today, canopy washer will have to wait for another time :eek::laughing:

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

    Tonight I got control horns on the 2nd wing panel on the Pilot Edge glued in place and set the linkages up on the first wing. It can be a bit of a challenge getting both servos to be perfectly synced with each other but I wound up with about 45 degrees of throw in each direction and both...

    Printed out a protractor and cut a hole exactly where the output shaft needs to go dead nuts on the center of the protractor, this should help dial in my servo throws :)
