    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Performance wise, I really like the plane. It's aggressive but I can also run in low rates and get it to track well and fly a decent sequence. Quality wise, not so great. I'm running a 3w 110CS on K&S pipes. The engine is really smooth and I have a lot of power and I've flown the plane pretty...

    IMAC Jtec/Radiowave G 202

    Really like what you guys have been coming up with. Really interested in hearing the comparison between this and the MX2. Got rather a lot of builds to clear for other people but am rather keen on doing a full build for my next 40% plane.

    JTEC/RADIOWAVE 2.8m & 3.1m MX2

    Hi Earle, Don't get back over a lot nowadays - things are busy back here. I practice a bit of IMAC but haven't competed in a while. Life is just insanely busy and I end up away a lot of weekends with work so it's a bit of a challenge to commit to stuff like competitions. Life is good fun though...

    Hi Jtec, Just out of interest, I'm in the UK and interested in a 3.1 MX2. Could you ship over here? Thanks, Andrew.

    Show Me the Biplanes!!!!

    The prop is made by Engel - they do some fantastic props in some interesting sizes. I run an Engel 23x12 on my DA 70 which is insanely quiet and a 29x13 on my 3W 110CS. https://www.engelmt.de/index.php/katalog/showarticles/541500-1-4-blade.html

    DA 200

    Nope - but I happened to take a pic the other day. I was out with my older plane (same plane and set up as the one in the pic) to do the prop tests yesterday though - weather wasn't as nice in that pic, lol! When I was looking at replacing my old car, I also looked at an RS4 but the sport seats...

    DA 200

    I've got an Audi S4 Avant - don't think you blokes get it as an avant in the US. It's a bit of a tight fit though :)

    DA 200

    Caustic soda. I use Zimmerman cans which are stainless steel so it was fine to soak them overnight. Not sure if the same plan would work with aluminium cans.

    DA 200

    Funnily enough, I have a very well run in 200 (300 flights) and have just flushed the cans out. It's definitely running better after the de coke of the cans. Yesterday I played with a Biela 30x12 EX 3 blade as well and my normal Engel 29x12x3 and also ran a Mej 30x13x2 Evo NON L. I have to say...

    DA 200

    I've run 2 200's and and they really seemed to stabilise around 25 flights (around 10 gallons).

    Let's see your Jets!

    Yup! They are both the base kits with minimal work done as well so a long road ahead.
