Hi all! I've been AWOL for awhile. I just checked and my last post was in the middle of February!

I've been tinkering in the shop lately and finally have the Krill Ultimate ready to do some bodywork on to prep for paint. I also did a bit of maintenance on the Hangar 9 300X. I need to take the stabs off to get it in and out of the house and finally switch to a Multiplex plug and mounted receptacle to speed the process up. It's way easier than a servo extension.

I"ll be catching up the Krill Ultimate thread soon.

Good to have you back. ''stangflyer??? Where are you?

I concur. If we are getting the band back together, we need our front man.

No wonder it didn’t like to stay inverted sometimes ha ha ha. Here’s a reminder to switch to Viton!

Spent some shop time working the cowl to the Cub. It don't look purdy now but it will look super after this weekends scale event .

The DLE35RA is a bit longer than the original RCGF26 that was in it. But it all worked out including adding about 1.5 degrees down thrust and .5 degrees right thrust.

Got my new falcon spinner in! To my surprise it is 16grams lighter.
Thats over a 25% weight savings. 10grams are the center bolt alone.

Carbon Center bolt spinner 49grams

Falcon spinner 33grams.


We will see how well she holds up. Surprised I had to trim for the falcon prop to fit a falcon spinner.

This is a baby 3” spinner for the laser

Love it great spinner I have several but you will only do it once put a electric starter to it and it is done for.
Also take your time on the little screws around the base and put enough blue Locktite on them. Also mark the location of the spinner and backplate so it always go on the same way.
