    Scale 112” - Taylorcraft by HeyLuc & Snoopy.

    That's where your field needs to be like ours. It's all weeds so even scalping it with the mower in the heat of the summer can't kill it.

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

    At least you have been. I hope to make Nall in the Fall at some point but the normal Joe Nall will probably never happen. It's always on the week of our wedding anniversay so that wouldn't go over well with the wifey.

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

    One thing that will help her a lot is she loves to talk and ask questions out of genuine curiosity. Last time she went to the field with me was with a club I was visiting. She had 20 new best friends by the time we left.

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

    She has this glider we are building together and then a club member donated a Great Planes 30CC avistar airframe he was no longer flying. I have installed all the servos in it and just ordered a motor and ESC over the weekend. As soon as they show up I will get them installed then take it out...

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

    Just sharing some build progress on the glider I'm working on with my daughter. I tried telling her we only need a little bit of glue on the ribs but she got a little carried away so every rib has a very nice glue fillet between the ribs and cap strips. She is having fun though and thats all...

    @Snoopy1 I will say the 84" Turbo Bushmaster was originally released early 2016. Here we are 8 years later and they still sell out within a day of a new shipment arriving at the EF warehouse. I would agree with AKNick, it doesn't float but it flys extremely well especially when powered with the...

    What was your layup on the Fiberglass version. 32 oz sounds very heavy.

    take it outside and spray it down with the garden hose. Much quicker that way.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Yes sir and its worth it. It only cost $50 more to get the RxR version over buying the arf and all the same parts to go in it. Can literally go from the box to ready to fly in about 30 minutes.

    Maiden flight plus 3 more yesterday. 67" Laser did not disapoint. T-motor AM670 power system is super quite and smooth. Same for the Theta 989 servos in it. wicked fast, wicked strong, and wicked quite. First brushless servos I have ever used and I will be buying more.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Postman brought me a shiny new toy from EF. Their new 67" Laser in the receiver ready version. Factory installed T-motor AM670 outrunner with matching AM116A ESC. The carbon fiber prop is a freaking work of art. The Theta 989 servos are extremely fast and very quite. Looking forward to the...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Ain't even got to be boys. My 6 year old daughter has about a dozen nice lego sets at this point. Though she is different from me at that age. I would build the kit and play with it then tear it apart and do my own things with it. She is very vigilent about keeping the set all together.

    I've always been a Dewalt guy but I have aquired a few of the M12 Milwaukee tools and freaking love them.
