    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Nope. I have had a couple ask for it but have never done it. Honestly I think the 55cc version I built would fly awesome off of a 35cc since it came in at just over 15 pounds with a DLE 55 on the nose.

    LOL no not me. I enjoy flying the Mavic and getting some nice video with it but I wouldn't be able to go out to the field and fly it all day long couple flights and I'm bored, though it is fun to get video of others flying. That all said I would much rather fly a plane.

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

    So kind of but not really in my workshop. I was giving this little drone like 3'ish years ago. Flew some and it flew decent but was a pain with some of the setup quirks like needing compass calibration every single flight. Well anyways I got a DJI Mavic Pro from a club member about 8 months ago...

    Your welcome. LOL It is lots of fun when you can hit very small lift and turn it into something major.

    They look like they should go flippy floppy just fine. Good work.

    I have never flown the libelle but I have heard good things about it and it is a good price point. They are a little heavy for there size though (my Flitz will signal lift off of a cow fart LOL) and being foam they can't handle hard launches (Mind you I probably can't throw hard enough to break...

    Best DLG advice I have for someone if you want a nice plane is to start with a 1.5M composite bird. You can find many team pilots birds from the previous year on RCG classifieds for $600 and less most times for a plane that is either RTF or just needs your RX dropped in it. I suggest 1.5M birds...

    Finished the fence this weekend other than coming back in a few weeks to apply a sealer to it. I rewarded myself by cooking up a Boston Butt in the smoker all day Sunday while I was finishing up. Both the fence and the Butt turned out great.

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    I love a good dial indicator but the 1/64 would drive me crazy. as far as the inch system over the metric I agree the metric system is probably better but after many years in construction SAE is just burned into my brain and it hard sometimes to look at other things.

    Today at work we came across a swarm of bees hanging out in a tree. Lucky for my coworker who keeps bees. He didn’t have any of the stuff he would need so he improvised. Just a random scrap box, the first roll of tape he could find, and a pair of cable cutters. Literally cut the branch, placed...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    It’s rained every day here for a week now and supposed to get a break with temps in low 80’s this weekend so the ground should be plenty soft.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    If all the fencing I was putting in going to be brand new fence I would have bought or rented one of the cheap 1 man augers but unfortunately the auger will do me no good getting the old post out of the ground first.
