    Cool The I'm going out flying thread 2017

    Had a blast flying with the guys at CVRC today. Put another half gallon of fuel through the sukhoi and really loving the plane. Finally starting to get a feel for it in harrier (realized I needed to carry a little more speed) and can see more and more that the plane is a touch tail heavy so I...

    Shame your having so many problems with it cause it really is a badass looking plane.

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

    Been taking a CAD class this summer. Nothing fancy and nothing I will actually use but I played around and started drawing a wing.

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    That is possible but I have never heard that. Biggest difference is the red Loctite is pretty much permanent without heat being applied to it to remove the bolts.

    It's called heat there little buddy, just a little bit of heat will soften the loctite back up.

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    Yeah I'm getting ready to pick up a 3DHS 75" extra to put my VVRC 40cc twin on and wondering if it would be worth it even on that small cowl to split it so I can easily baffle it.

    Sport The Behemoth Yak gets a Behemoth Brother/129" Pilot Yak (2)

    I will say one thing I have found with my pau Sukhoi and I have been told it's a round fuse thing is it KE is left stick only. no other plane other than one particular slab I have will KE without at least a little bit of coupling.

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    Yup I split the cowl on a buddys Hangar 9 33% edge using Terry's method. I was nervous but it worked great. I think I just used one layer of the cloth you get at lowes and it has held up good. Laid it in there and I didn't have any finishing resin to use so I just took some 30 minute epoxy and...

    Sport The Behemoth Yak gets a Behemoth Brother/129" Pilot Yak (2)

    I think in the beginning it was a round cowl thing that I just didn't care for that much but this PAU sukhoi that I won has changed my mind there. The round cowl has really grown on me. Its still not the same a the cowl on a CAP that I just love but I have found a love for all of them now.

    Sport The Behemoth Yak gets a Behemoth Brother/129" Pilot Yak (2)

    That's a great looking scheme there stang. Never been a fan of the yaks especially the bubble canopy ones but seeing schemes like what you have there are starting to make me like them a little more.

    Good idea. Will post up next time I make it out with my sukhoi.

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    lol. I have considered picking up either an eme or the pte twins for the suk. To be honest though the dle55 doesn't have the pull out of a hover like I would like but I can't complain with how it yanks the plane around otherwise or how well the plane flys.

    Anyone going to FliteFest?

    I would love to go but its a little bit of a hike and work kinda conflicts with it.

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Well you see that Purdy little sukhoi in my profile picture. Well it flies great with the DLE55 on the nose but to get it to balance I had to make steel standoff and the batteries are as far forward as they can go and its still a touch tail heavy. So you see the point I'm getting at here is I...
