    After getting poured on yesterday (yes it rains here :oblong: ) today was magical with the sun shining and wind relatively low. Snuck 2 flights in on the AJ Laser before we had to go be responsible :eek::cool:

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

    Been touching up my AJ Laser the past week or so (on and off), getting it ready for an airshow at the end of this month. Worked on the cowl the other night, the original air exit I cut open was not going to be sufficient as the warmer months drew near. Original hole. Proposed changes...

    DA Servos?

    They are built in house by RC Depot for Desert Aircraft so no rebranding. Word is they will be producing in limited numbers, about all I can say about them.

    Added the Multiplex MULTIlight kit to my FunCub XL the past couple of nights. Only added a couple of ounces and it works off of the flight pack, the best part is the lights are switchable from the tx: landing lights on/off, and all lights on/off :) Scale functions too:

    The basic white baby socks also work well, just use a velcro strap to secure them: https://www.amazon.com/Luvable-Friends-Socks-White-Months/dp/B00RC3AZYE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1518033584&sr=8-5&keywords=white+baby+socks

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

    I'm not sure how many of you were able to see this but we SoCal residents were treated to a rare phenomenon early this morning: a Super Blue Blood Moon. According to the trusty old reliable internet, this only happens once every 150 years. Guess it was worth getting up at 5:30 to see it :oblong:

    Help! What size tank for 50cc Yak54

    This is the fuel tank you will need: http://www.taildraggerrc.com/new-tdrc-version-2-17-ounce-rtf-clear-fuel-tank/ Throw out the tubing that comes with it for the clunk and use real genuine Tygon tubing. Also don't use zip ties to secure the fuel line, use a small slice of tygon.

    Well no airplane work tonight thankfully :D But I decided to put factory cruise control in my van :oblong: Had to make a bracket to mount the cruise control servo but otherwise the install went good :) Put a repop factory cruise control equipped turn signal stalk up in the cab and everything...

    My girlfriend picked up a UMX Timber and we set about flying it this weekend. I had the SAFE mode turned on for her and she did great, despite its tiny size in comparison to her Multiplex Heron. It's a fun little airplane for sure :) I also flew my GB Extra 330SC indoor edition. Such a...

    Since it uses Android OS and has WiFi built in you should be able to take a picture of your airplane with your Android phone and send it to the Tx via Wi-Fi Direct.
