    91" SkyWing ARS 300 Assembly Thread

    Yeah that's pretty sweet. I have been looking into getting both a CNC router setup as well as a small benchtop 3D printer. Figure I have asked my flying buddy with a printer enough now to print stuff for me that I should learn to do it myself. Looking at the Ender3 currently as its cheap and...

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

    Never heard of a RV cam before so had to look it up. Should still perform well and still have a decent lope to it when at idle. Like the idea with the front suspension and is the way I would go as well. T5 is a tough little tranny and with a good short throw shifter on it the shift slick as...

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    One of my Probro buddies is only a week away from the maiden on his 20cc edge. Should be pretty wild. He did a 3/4” thick fuse instead of 5/8” and it’s still looking like the weight of his will end up at 6-1/2 pounds with a dle20 on the nose.

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

    This is from the last two logs that needed milling yesterday. the shorter pieces used to be one long piece but unfortunately during the first cut some tension was released in the log so the decision was made to cut it in half and then mill the two shorter pieces to be able to get more usable...

    I will look into that. What I have read never seemed like it would be a problem. The stack will still have to be broken down again anyways as I plan to spray all the wood down with a borax and water solution. It wont kill any bugs that are there but it should prevent anymore from coming after...

    IMAC Scratch build Laser 200

    Nope. The sticky on the one pic is where Aloft Hobbies flashed the new firmware on it for me so I can bind to all of my old X series receiver in ACCST mode for now. Now just need to get my old radio programs imported into this radio. Was reading there is some process that has to be done. Gonna...

    Question for you spectrum guys. My UMX timber. Wanna make the ailerons work as flaps. They are both on seperate channels. How do I go about setting it up. Things look different from my old futaba or how I know to do it with my taranis.
