    Next project underway. With how tight it is getting a pair of 6S packs in there to make the 12S setup I'm going to sell the XPWR setup and go with the new T-motor setup that is designed to be 6S. So anyone need a XPWR 30cc with standoffs and Castle ESC?

    Scale 112” - Taylorcraft by HeyLuc & Snoopy.

    I'm up in the air pn this for power. It's designed around a DLE55 or DA50. Sadly without a pitts style muffler lots of the cowl would need to be cut up so i'm seriously thinking of going to a 60cc electric setup.

    Couple of photo's of the prop installed on the plane. I'm very pleased with the results, enough so that I'm going to do props for 3 other planes as well.

    Scribing the elevator for where to bevel it to. Help using the small hand plane. Next pass I was told I know how and she did it on her own. She was super excited here that we got to pull out all of the pins and remove it from the build surface. She also found it fun to just pull the pins out...

    Best day ever yesterday. My daughter had asked a few months back on a camping trip if she could help build an airplane. When we got home I got this glider kit out and told her it is her plane that we will build. Yesterday we finally got started on it. Here is everything to get started. She went...

    Have done a good bit of work in fusion 360 this week during my lunch breaks working towards the conversion of this old Kraft radio. Here I have the case of it modeled and I have designed an adapter plate to use the modern gimbals as well as digital trims from my taranis. Been quite a lot of fun...

    Tony, read along on this thread I started. I still need to get back on this and finish it up so I can share the files for anyone who would like to build one. It may not be the correct way of doing things but it's what works for me. Find the patience. It's worth it once you learn it. I will not...
