    Yup. Getting ready to relocate my shop to the other side of my basement so I wanted to get a few other things done for that move. I have also drawn up a nice storage unit in CAD that I will be building. It will hang on the wall and hold those metal drawer units I posted a week or so ago, all my...

    Old router that gets hot really quick. How it was mounted in my table saw wing before. Just a hole in the middle and bolted on. New router. Well was new over a year ago and just now getting around to using it. Scrap aluminum turned into an insert plate. Used new router with straight...

    This one right here would work but you would have to run an 11x6 prop. its not going to slow down as well though but will help it wad up tighter in high energy stuff. http://www.valuehobby.com/power-systems/brushless-motors/outrunner-airplane/3542-1200kv-outrunner-motor.html These two will...

    Guy got fired from where I work for doing that many years ago. Sounds hilarious though. Oh might I mention these bags that we have aren’t trash bags but bin liners and I would say if the bin was full of water it would hold around 350 gallons so it made a big boom.

    It cost a pretty penny that’s for sure but I got it used so was a lot cheaper than new. Maybe so but if they don’t allow it then it seems they would be the type of people I wouldn’t want to hang around cause if they don’t like a glider then I know they ain’t gonna like me dragging the rudder...

    It’s the two little hooks on the left wing. Grab hold really good, spin around a couple times, then let get and it goes way up high. Lol

    Flying my buddies just like it it will move fast when in zoom mode but will slow down to a snails pace when you set it to thermal.

    Was given two of these metal storage setups a few weeks ago. Decided it was time to put them to use. Originally they held 35mm slides. This first now stores all electronic stuff. Gotta decide what’s going on the second one but up next this whole area needs to get cleaned up. The old cubby’s on...

    This is the one I built my buddy. He wanted it to look like Carl Edwards Aflac car. Here is the original build thread. Hope they don’t mind me post a link to rcg. :face-palm: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?1094114-Skycart-flying-go-cart-new-video%21-plans-Free-simulator

    I will find the RC groups thread for it that has the plans. I think most are just powered with a blue wonder setup and a couple 9 gram servos. They aren’t exactly a great flying plane but are fun. I built one for a buddy and scaled it up a bit to use a setup he had. To get them to take off you...
