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

    Honestly if you go electric I think you would be happier going with a 6S or 8S setup. Either way you could go cheap on the batteries by using two 3S lipos for a 6S setup or two 4S lipos for a 8S setup.

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

    If we do a stick build and it's a profile build may I suggest one of these two kits. The slide58 is a bit cheap but I have heard nothing but good things about the EE60 and I have flown the 50cc version that @kwj48 built and owns. Absolute amazing plane in the air. These are a few other great...

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

    Did somebody say profiles. I like profiles. Unfortunately I can't participate though as I already have two 20cc profile kits waiting to be built and I need to save up to get either a DLE20 or a VVRC20 to put on the nose of it. I will follow along though and watch with great interest.

    Drilling out hinge points

    Or if you have to drill the holes out to 1/4" glue s piece of dowel in the hole sand and drill a new hold next to it.

    Looks to work well.

    Speak up and win!! We're turning ONE, time to celebrate!!

    I use GSN from my iPhone daily and the only difference I notice between the site on my phone and on the desktop is the header at the top has less tabs for me to click on. No biggie though it has the important ones for me. The alerts tab and the watched threads tab. As far as tapatalk I tried...

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

    Cowl cut and fit around the engine and it fits pretty damn good. Nice gap between the spinner back plate and the cowl. I'm happy. Now I got it all pulled off and a layer of epoxy has been spread onto the firewall to protect it from fuel. Tomorrow morning I should be able to permantely install...

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

    Yeah it looks pretty much the same as when I got it minus a new firewall. It originally had oak 1/4 round trim as the tristock behind it but I have opted to use 1" wide 1/8" thick aluminum angle. It has been glued behind the firewall and will be getting drilled and bolted in tonight as well as...

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

    So I got the motor mounted. In all my efforts I didn't get the firewall the way I wanted it but oh well. My buddy I got the plane from said it needed a little bit of down thrust. So I set it to have the right thrust it needed and the down thrust I thought it needed. Well when I line everything...

    Really just an attempt to make it the slightest bit better.

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

    @wecoyote got the fuel tank strapped in place and the firewall glued in place on my Carden Cap 232. Once the epoxy dries I will install the aluminum angle behind the firewall to add extra support. Also another little trick for everyone else. Wife sent this to me on Pinterest and I liked the...

    New ZDZ112 B2RV / Installation into PAU Edge 540

    Awesome video terry. Plane presents well in the air and the motor sounds great (to my untrained ears at least).

    Ok so I have a battery tender brand trickle charger. It works great. I also have two of the little cheap like $7 units from harbor frieght. One stays on my mower and one stays on the battery I carry to the field to run my charger. Both of them have been running for two years now no problem. Not...

    Show us your Scale Planes

    I like it Terry. Whats the wingspan on it. I would love to build a scaled out Texan. Just think it would be badass with a smoke system pouring smoke out of a scale exhaust location.
