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

Spent some time "upgrading" my QQ300 with left over parts from my crashed QQCap232EX. The original QQ300 had (IMO) very poor elevator and poor rudder authority limiting the plane to mild and not wild performance. So out with the weak DS19 servos and in with the HV DS33 servos . I also replaced the 40amp ESC for its BEC is not HV. The 80 amp opto ESC that came out of the Cap has an 8amp UBEC that delivers 7.2 volts of power to the servos. I now have more and powerful throw on the elevator and rudder. The ailerons where always fine to me.

That depends on the vehicle you have. If it is no problem to transport then one piece is good.

I can't see that overheating! Great job of baffling.

Wow nice job that looks good. If that engine over heats we are all in trouble.

Now that's an "air-cooled" engine! .

Well been sitting around to long for the parts for the 30cc electric plane so I thought I would start something new. I found a very old kit from greatplanes it is a 1/3 scale Extra kit, very scale and absolutely not a 3 D machine. Pulled it out and opened the box for the first time. I think it is time to build it and I think it will be painted just going to build a scale Extra and do nice Stits paint job on it.
