    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Went to the Fly Yuma airshow this weekend at the Yuma Aeromodelers club to go hang out with buddies and get some much needed stick time in. Colton Clark and Kevin Garland were also present and we gave them quite a show. To my surprise there were probably close to 2000 spectators in attendance so...

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

    Installed a new trailer hitch on the airplane hauler tonight. Holy crap I would like to punch the designer of this thing in the face, it kicked my rear the whole time putting it in!!! 45 minutes to install they claim and being a bolt in assembly. Well after 2 hours I was finally ready to start...

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    1/7 scale and bigger. The Traxxas X-Maxx is probably the most affordable big scale truck and comes RTR in the new 8S variant for under a grandy, plus $200+ for batteries. The 1/5 scale trucks are the biggest and baddest, and most expensive. The guys that race the 1/5 trucks usually go through...

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    Yup, Nitro. I spent 3-4 hours cleaning/detailing the T-Maxx, it looks almost like new again. It really needed it, there was a lot of gunk all over everything from whomever drove it last (years ago). And I had a very large assortment of T-Maxx and Revo parts show up yesterday, so I got to...

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    Well we are all still here. The winds were blowing a constant 25mph for about 2 hours yesterday, then it was like a light switch and it just stopped, but poured rain through the night. It's been on and off showers today, there was plenty of time to sneak in some trigger time with the truck :)...

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    We've actually had the exact opposite of California weather, seems like it's been non-stop rain every weekend since the beginning of December- we're no longer in the 'drought'! I hope it's not a wet winter, it's usually warm and dry. We've got a record setting storm rolling in this weekend, the...

    It was a magnificent day for RC shenanigans :D No flying yesterday due to rain, but it was sunny and 70 all day today. Flew the Yak in the morning :) Then later in the afternoon went and bashed around with the T-Maxx. Ran 3 tanks through the airplane before calling it, and 2 tanks through...

    Pulled my Edge out tonight to position the DA120 in front. Man this is gonna look good, now just to mount it up :) I politely replied to his commentary that when he's ready to come talk to me like a sensible person then he knows where to find me.

    Went to get the T-Maxx tuned up today and the neighbor came out and start cursing up a storm at me for driving it in the street :oblong::confused: Guess he had nothing better to do today. :rolleyes: Charging up airplanes now, we're going flying tomorrow!!!

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

    Playing with slimers again tonight. Ran the Traxxas Revo through its second tank of nitro tonight, something didn't seem right though because the clutch was engaging the moment the engine turned over, wouldn't run unless the wheels were off the ground. Well turns out the clutch spring broke...
