    Aerobeez pics

    They catch the ones with watermarks but I posted a couple of pics of my Carden cap with the GSN decal on it and they missed them.

    CNC machining your own parts

    I have really considered getting a CNC router like the X-carve just isn't in my budget. As much as I scratch build I bet it would pay off in no time though.

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

    I set the pau sukhoi I won here on GSN last year back on the bench yesterday. Got all the holes cut in covering that I needed to and then got the rudder servo installed. Had to open the hole up a bit for it and looks like I will have to do the same for the elevator and aileron servos. Getting...

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    That looks awesome. Might I ask how you plan out the checkers so they are the same size all the way around.

    Sunday night GSN Update

    That's what I'm seeing on my phone. On the computer it looks normal. I'm a member of the ranger station forums as well and their site does the same with adds as well.

    Paul this is the add that pops up at the bottom of the page. There is one at the top just like it. Doesn't really bother me at all but like jetpainter said it messes with the layout of the site on the phone.

    Sunday night GSN Update

    I'm getting them as well. Not sure what it is but hopefully it gets straightened out. Might have to do with the normal banner adds being turned off.

    Anyone have a good source for Radio set-up

    That actually sounds like a good way of doing it.

    Anyone have a good source for Radio set-up

    I would say just pick up a DX18 if staying spektrum. I personally do not think the dx20 looks very good at all. Also I feel the leather on it could be a bad idea. One what will the leather look like in a couple years. Two how slippery will the leather be when your hands are sweaty. And three how...

    Anyone have a good source for Radio set-up

    Hope this makes since here. First pic is the throttle curve screen on one of my foamies. As you can see it's not even activated but it's what the screen looks like before you start playing with the curve. Second screen is from my 30% Carden Cap with a DLE 55 on the nose. Like I said the idea...

    Anyone have a good source for Radio set-up

    Your basically setting it up to feel linear. If you were to not do a throttle curve on a gasser and have perfect 1-1 geometry on your linkage then when your throttle stick is at half throttle your pretty much almost fully open on the carb. So you adjust your curve to compensate for it and make...

    Bart I have considered getting a taranis just I have so much futaba stuff already. Throttle curves are nice on the gassers and even my glow planes that run pipes. Helps give a more linear feel to it.

    I do the same thing using a three position switch controlling the rates of all the surfaces.

    Sunday night GSN Update

    I know nothing I see nothing. ;) That being said though there have only been a couple rough ones on this site and the main man Bartman did a pretty good job of nipping them in the butt early on.

    You said it perfectly and I think its exactly what Bart was going for with the site. For this place to feel like a home.
