    Group Build, 20cc Profile ARF, Who's In?

    Sorry for the late reply. Been busy at work rewiring a 400 ton hydraulic press that caught fire on Monday. Personally I would not take either of those when it comes to a slab. I think most of the arf profiles out there are fine for flying around but get a good bit of wing rock in ha and don't...

    Any way you cut it it looks like you have a lot of wood in your future.

    Group Build, 20cc Profile ARF, Who's In?

    If your looking for a kit you can't go wrong with wwrc. In the 20cc size there is the ee60, hazzcap sukhoi, and lamsuk of yak (whatever it is). The Sukhoi and ee60 are basically the same plane but the ee is a touch smaller. I would pick one of those over the lam wing plane but that's cause I...

    Well get him to join over here. His build threads were always fun to watch. He was even kind enough to mail me one of his Stool samples one time. :omg::omg::omg::omg::omg:

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    DrEvil turned his orginal jetec Pitts into a monoplane. Did it over on FG. I'm sure the jetec guys now about it as I think drevil lives around them. Haven't heard from him in a couple years though. He was a hoot.

    IMAC All New 3.1m Radiowave Giles 202 Competition Series Build Thread

    This is as far as I had gotten before I started working on other builds I needed to knock out. Had a buddy use devwing to draw up the wing to the specs I wanted but everything else will be done by hand. A few things are changing on the wing as well such as I will be doing a double bevel on the...

    IMAC All New 3.1m Radiowave Giles 202 Competition Series Build Thread

    Yeah pretty much. 60'ish wingspan and right at 1000 sq in of wing area. DLE20 for power and hope to keep the weight at 7lbs or less, once you get to 7-1/2lbs the dle20 starts lacking in the power department.

    IMAC All New 3.1m Radiowave Giles 202 Competition Series Build Thread

    Lol. I'm going a different direction with mine though. Mine will be a 20cc profile version and its main purpose will be violent high energy 3D.

    Looking good. Makes me want to get back to drawing on the Giles I'm working on but too many other builds to knock out first.

    Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.

    Looking good. Another thing to try when trying to seperate the parts. I have heard it works well once you have one side opened a little bit to use some compressed air between the mold and the part.

    IMAC New Jtec Radiowave Giles 202 builders kit offical release

    Yes do a thread. I used to think the Giles was ugly but it has grown on me so much that I'm designing a 20cc profile version of it. Would love to see it in a 30% 55cc format as well.

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    I was gonna say I'm running two 2500 mah 2S LiFe packs in my 55cc planes and put three or four 8 minute flights on it in a day. When I charge my flight packs they only take about 800mah back into each of them.

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

    The more and more I have gotten into wood working the more I realize how bad all the dust is for our lungs. To help combat it I had been using just a standard respirator for a while. Recently this one with a full face mask was gonna be tossed at work because it was out of date. I grabbed it and...

    I have a set of horizontal stabs, elevator, rudder, and vertical fin off a crashed one of these if your interested in them as spares. The covering has been removed from them. If someone doesn't claim them soon they are fire pit bound.

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    So I have a Pitts style muffler in my sukhoi and have been thinking of putting smoke on it since I have all the stuff to do it. You say wrap around the can portion of the muffler. How many wraps should I do or just get as many wraps as I can on it. Then I think it has a port built into it for...
