    Programing question for the Futaba experts

    I wish my futaba 8J had the option to slow servo speed or had sliders for this very same reason.

    The Spammers are getting out of hand.

    I know right. Look at them all. Gonna get them as soon as I get to work on a computer as it's easier then. They will be gone soon though I promise.

    motor mounts, aluminum is preferred....

    Right idea here. I was able to make several custom aluminum parts for my car when I took some CNC machining classes years back.

    3D Cbarnes 3D Slab Thread

    One wing is done so onto the second one. This wing is super easy to build straight. The front build tab of each rib get butted up to a straight edge then use a piece of angle to the the TE straight. Start gluing in some sticks. Main spar details. Glue in the bottom 1/4x1/8 first. Then lay...

    Aeroworks Extra 300-100cc-QB

    I'd be curious to know as well. as long as they are setup correctly so that the two servos aren't fighting each other then there shouldn't be a problem.

    Didn't make it to the shop because........

    Wife and I picked five quarts of strawberries the other day so I made lots of jam today. No pictures of the huge mess I made though. Decided to make a double batch, huge mistake and it boiled over spilling hot sticky jam all over a red hot stove burner. Every smoke detector went off in the house...

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

    Real slabs take a beating and keep on ticking. This one flew again the next day. Lots of scraps of balsa, some thin CA, some clear packing tape, and a new prop. Think I spent ten minutes repairing it and it still flew just as good.

    Rob Holland can make a full scale do things you wouldn't think a full scale can do.

    Yup I have one on a pipe in one of my 40 size profiles. It's a wicked combo.

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

    All depends though. When the motor shows up I will see how it fits but if I cant get it where the pipe is hidden under the wing then I will not be going that route. It will just get a good ole OS 46fx or 46ax.

    Hello from Mount Joy,Pa

    Welcome to the site. Like Bart said the knee knocking will go away with more flight time and every time you get a new plane they will start knocking again for a few flights.

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

    Picked up this from a club member today. Pheonix models Strega. Guy impulse bought it a few years back. Said he got it out the other day to start putting it together and realized it's far beyond his flying abilities so he gave it to me. Designed around a 45-55 size two stroke nitro engine. A...

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

    A few pictures from my session driving my dads black 05 Mustang GT. It does roughly 135-140 down the back stretch. Running down a little VW. I had just passed the three mustangs in the back of this picture on the previous straightaway. The black vette got by me soon after this picture. I...
