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

    Nice perk but its not a fun machine to run for smaller rc stuff. You can't use the small filaments, only the 3mm stuff. A buddy who has printed a lot of stuff for me has a AM8 and he can get way better detail on smaller parts than this thing can.

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

    No I haven’t gotten one yet. Want too but I recently transferred into the engineering department at work so I have access to a Lulzbot Taz6 when it’s not being used for other things.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    The motor is mounted on its side. Because of the fuse a pitts style wont fit in some cases and if you use a stock style muffler the exit tube is in line with the wing so it dumps all unburned oil on the wing. use a muffler like off of a twin or WWRC sells a profile style so the exit tube is...

    Printed a new hat clip for my Mobius as the old one was quite rough and would barely hold onto my hat at this point.

    For Sale Taranis X9D

    Taranis X9D for sale. In good working order but I'm switching over to the X9-Lite. Still only running OpenTX 2.1 as I never had any need to upgrade past that. Mods include Speaker upgrade and baffle to improve sound. M9 Hall Effect Gimbals (these things are amazing) Aluminum balance bar...

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

    Finally started writing a program in my new radio. DLG programs take a lot of work too. An hour in and not even halfway through all the stuff that needs to be there. Will be worth it in the end though to have a smaller and more compact radio when throwing.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Weight to hold parts in place. I have found it is most useful when sheeting a wing as it covers a larger area and provides plenty of clamping pressure.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    A fellow member of the Probro website and electrician like myself gave me a good tip and I have collected them since. When replacing the ballast in old flouresent fixtures cut the wires off and glue a piece of dollar store foam to the bottom of it.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Yeah I build on glass as well and love it. Makes it interesting at times when trying to do a larger glue up and I start running low on weights to keep things in place though.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Looks nice. Are you building over a sheet of glass?

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    It should arm itself from the get go though. Can you describe the beeps you get when you plug it up. If you get a little jingle then Beep, beep, beep, BEEEEEEEEEEEP then it should be armed and saying it has a 3S batt hooked up to it. If it just sits there and keeps beeping every 3-5 seconds then...

    Will it give any beeping tones?

    Yup mine is all stock except for the larger prop.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Drop a 13x6.5 APC on the Tundra and watch it wake up. Just don't go using extended amounts of WOT with it as it pushes the stock ESC but just flying normal I got better thrust as well as longer flights times.

    Looks great and good seeing a young kid with a welder in his hands and looking like he is enjoying working on something.

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    My PAU Sukhoi was the same way and actually had to use a file to open it up enough for the Savox servos I used to fit in there.

    91" SkyWing ARS 300 Assembly Thread

    Looks great. Yeah I know what you meen about pictures hide things. When I was still a teenager my dad bought a 71 Mach 1 for us to work on. In pictures it looked like it was in near perfect condition but when looking right at it you could tell just how rough the car was.

    Thanks. May be out of our clubs reach then but I plan to bring it up as an option.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Not the postman just me going to pick it up but I upgraded my air compressor in my garage today. Will be much nicer than the loud oil less unit I have been using.

    Might I ask how much it cost for the geotex and the staples? Looks awesome.
