    Xpress builds a 115 AJ Laser - PICTURE HEAVY!

    There's no noise restrictions where we fly. I'm not heavy on the throttle anyways.

    Xpress builds a 115 AJ Laser - PICTURE HEAVY!

    After evaluating the time I have left to get this bird flying the weekend before June 9-10 (1st huckfest of the year), it was decided that I had to cut and clearance the cowl for the JMB keg mufflers I have for the ZDZ180. Originally I was going to go with canisters but I'm just out of time now...

    Made my own custom linkages for the rudder servos last night, and programmed the rudder servos to be in sync with each other. These servos are incredibly linear, looking forward to hammering these real hard!!

    That's the 105 Laser that needs a 120CC. The 115 Laser is a 40% airplane and needs a 150CC minimum. The 115 shares the exact same fuselage as the 123" Laser which requires a 200CC 4 cylinder, so anything between 150-222cc aught to work real well. The ZDZ180 is the most powerful engine in all of...

    Well I'm stuffing in an engine that's more powerful than a DA200 so I'd say likely so!

    Xpress builds a 115 AJ Laser - PICTURE HEAVY!

    Installed the Multiplex Wingstabi 16ch gyro/rx last night and installed the aileron harnesses into the fuselage. I might end up moving these elsewhere, just depends on how I'm feeling. The Wingstabi has all gyro functions disabled, I played with them in the past and still prefer a pure...

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

    Yep I hate setting new computers up but it'll pass. The updates your PC has to install are all the updates that have been rolled out since it was boxed up at the factory, and that includes hardware updates. If it's a W10 lappy it has updates every week. Thankfully W10 is probably the fastest PC...

    Did a little time lapse on how I glue control horns into the surfaces.

    I wish my interest only remained with N or Z, but alas, G scale is where my mind wanders to :oblong: It's kind of peculiar that google searching for hours doesn't turn up much info, whereas you can google search 'rc airplane' and turn up no less than 2 dozen results for web outlets and forums.

    Is there a port for the red/black wire on the rx? Pretty sure that's for flight pack voltage information.. SRXL is Spektrums version of S.Bus.

    The quality on these airplanes is definitely top tier, it's why I've chosen to fly AJ Aircraft exclusively. The guys are extremely friendly and very helpful as well- I was missing a parts bag out of this kit and they rushed one to me to keep me from being held up. Funny enough, it's on my end of...

    Visited the local museum today. Several very large displays with 2 levels and even an outdoor exhibit. In all, there were 4 scales represented (N, HO, O, and G) and 4 separate clubs running the various displays.

    Inadvertently rediscovered one of my old hobbies... I dunno what's worse, the fact that I want to get back into it, or the fact that my girlfriend is more enamored by it than me o_Oo_Oo_O

    Glued the control horns into the right wing panel last night. My process is pretty straightforward- slice the slots open for the control horns in the surface, test fit the horns and make any adjustments necessary, then put the horns and the square horn base (for lack of a better term) into the...

    I always forget just how much fun the FunCub XL really is. It's an excellent backup to any giant scale airplane since it can do some pretty wicked maneuvers.
