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

    I looked at HK a few hours ago. Headers anywhere from $18 to about $40 and a can for like $60

    Gotcha thanks. I may look into a can setup at some point. You got any links to the cheaper setup. Might be a cheeseburger in it for you.

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

    Thanks. Not sure if the jtech Pitts muffler makes any more power over the stock on or not. I know my Carden cap is right at 18 lbs and it had decent pull. I know I won't get the power I get from my nitro planes but that's because my slabs are built ultra light.

    Will do thanks bud. I know I was thinking of doing the dubro ball links like terryscustom had showed in one of his videos but purchasing the savox servos depleted my budget for a while.

    Installed two savox 1231's on the ailerons of the Sukhoi this morning before work. Prolly all that will get done for a week or so but I will be back on it.

    Does it still have good pull out of a hover? I have gotten used to the power I have on my small 40 size profiles running piped 46-55ax motors.

    And kept over correcting with opposite rudder. Lol. Swerved to miss a deer. Should have hit it.

    Yeah that was three years ago. Was just sore for a few days and a couple cuts and scratches from crawling out the passenger side of the car. Couldn't get the drivers door to open from the inside.

    Only one picture and not of most of the progress on the night. Got the stabs and elevators hinged and servos installed and hooked up. Using a smart fly equalizer on them and got them set up perfectly and matched at full travel both ways. Also got the rudder hinged up and pull-pull cables...

    Suggestions for shipping a large kit box?

    That will be a nice one to get to build then and give it a modern swing on things. A buddy has a 1/3 scale Lanier Giles that I wouldn't mind having.
