Xpress builds a 115 AJ Laser - PICTURE HEAVY!
I did basically nothing last night to the airplane, the girlfriend decided we should go out to dinner instead :oblong::confused: But before that happened I did manage to rearrange my van so that both the 115 and the 105 Lasers fit inside. Tonight I'm hoping to get to work on cleaning up the...- Xpress

Xpress builds a 115 AJ Laser - PICTURE HEAVY!
Fancy attachment but it doesn't fit my Dremel :confused: I don't care to deal with the extra weight, the extra plumbing, the extra work to install a smoke system, the extra cleanup required, the extra care to ensure the smoke oil doesn't begin to eat the covering, the extra cost involved with...- Xpress

Xpress builds a 115 AJ Laser - PICTURE HEAVY!
Last night I worked on mounting the MONSTER ZDZ-180. This is probably 1.5x the engine this airplane really needs, but it'll make it that much more fun. The one thing with the ZDZ180 is that it is a rear carb design so a hole will need to be cut into the firewall. Joe Mitchell provided a...- Xpress

The PAD is a device used to soak up the regenerative current function of the brushless servos. Some switches or receivers won't let the current pass back into the battery so it bounces back to the servo- the backflow of current is 100% harmless and causes no harm to your equipment, but you will...- Xpress

Xpress builds a 115 AJ Laser - PICTURE HEAVY!
For this airplane I will be using the Hitec HSB-9381TH servos. These servos are the most powerful servos that you can buy in a standard size case due to their no-fade power output- unlike coreless digitals, whos torque can easily drop 200-300 oz/in when the load is applied to them. The only...- Xpress

Just about back up to normal on the 105 Laser!! A new cowl and new wheel pants will come next month just before the first event of the year in June. I also managed to get the dent on the turtle deck almost completely out by injecting some water into the cracked wood and then steaming back...- Xpress

The good news is that I still have a 2nd propeller that I'll use and a new spinner will be on its way shortly, and I'm going to try a steaming trick using a hypodermic needle on the turtle deck :) Cowl will have to wait a month or two, other things in the way.- Xpress

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Went to replace the 2 canopy pins in my AJ Laser yesterday since they fell out. Was about ready to start wrapping it up when suddenly a gust of wind came up and knocked the airplane off my workbench. A broken propeller, a busted spinner and bent backplate (only 2 weeks old!!), a cracked cowl...- Xpress
