    Yippee! What the postman brought

    As was brought up by @pawnshopmike in another thread I have been working on a Mustang recently just one that rolls not fly's. More Goodies showed up for it today. Well I call them goodies but the timing cover gasket set is going to be a PITA to do.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    If I still have the car I promise it will be an 11-12 second car if not faster by the time she is able to drive and if she continues to show interest throughout the years leading up to it she will already be experienced and know to respect it as I will be teaching her along the way. Would...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    Things have been going well. Focused on school work for the most part. The car is a happy distraction as my daughter likes to come help in the garage so it counts as family time. Car is a 1995 and sadly I have spent way more in it than its actually worth but it is what it is. I think I have put...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    @pawnshopmike nailed it. I've been playing with a Mustang and not the flying kind. But yes I just put a piece of the color I want on a small piece of scrap balsa and have them color match it. I can't remember off the top of my head but I think I just had them do it in a semi gloss latex. Then...

    It does. I have flown five or six other DLG's. They have all flown great but the Flitz Classic is just so smooth and easy to fly.

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

    Yes 1M are really tight mind you a 1.5 doesnt give you much more room. Thats a decent weight for a 1M but they get lighter. The 1M Hawk I had was just shy of 120 grams.

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

    The reason I never got a bipe. I flew a couple of friends larger bipes and they do fly great but 30 minutes of setup and breakdown time is just too much when many days I'm only going out to the field for a couple of hours to begin with.

    Timber 110" Twin Build

    What this guy said. That part looks great other than needing a little adjustment on the first layer settings but still freaking awesome for the first part off of it.

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

    I thought about it but for right now the Auto is staying. I'm leaning towards once I V8 swap the car for it to be more suited to the drag strip so the Auto will be the ticket for bracket racing, plus the AODE that is in it is the same one that came with the V8 cars so it will bolt right up to a...

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

    Finally got my Mustang on the road this past weekend and already time to put it back in the garage because as expected I found more stuff wrong once I drove it some. Pressure line for the power steering is leaking, broken rear transmission mount, and best of all when it trys to go into overdrive...
