    Need some advice on a new 30cc 3D plane.

    The perfectly straight LE on an Edge wing is an extremely stable design in high alpha. Every edge I've flown just sits there in a harrier so it's the ideal airframe for a beginner. Not sure why you say they're snappy, quite the opposite from my experiences :confused:

    Aerobeez 45% Extra 300 assembly

    I know :) Speaking of heat guns, did more work on the covering today. She's all nice and tightened up. The turtle deck was the worst, lots of gas bubbles that had to be massaged out with the iron. I am going to polish up the covering using some motorcycle spray cleaner/polish, should...

    Aerobeez 45% Extra 300 assembly

    Well, I had a gnarly headache most of the day yesterday. As soon as it started to clear, I was out of bed and went to work on the Extra. First thing I needed to do was fill the hole where the DA200 mufflers poked through, then glue a new sheet of 1/8" ply over the front to help reinforce what is...

    After being in bed all day because I had a raging headache, I finally had enough and went and worked on the Extra in the afternoon. Got a new firewall in and worked on the covering.

    Assembly: EF 110" Yak-54 V2

    Definitely could be an issue if the spacing is too close. You would figure this would be taken into account, but maybe it works fine with stock ball links? Knowing you, you probably have a set of DuBro's already lined up, ready to go in.. :sneaky:

    Ordered up new parts for my 107" Yak today too :D I tried to go through Chief but they didn't have them in stock (not their fault, this is a special color scheme) and would have had to special order them for me. Normally I wouldn't have a problem but I was given an ultimatum: cough up an extra...

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

    Cut a hole for the ZDZ carb in the 45% tonight. Engine bolted right in after that. Discovered quickly that I will need to get longer bolts because I need to space the engine out 1 more RCH to clear the cowl comfortably, plus I will need to fit some washers behind the firewall. Thinking I...

    Aerobeez 45% Extra 300 assembly

    I am going with a TDRC 50oz tank as per @Terryscustom recommendation. http://www.taildraggerrc.com/new-tdrc-version-2-50-ounce-rtf-clear-fuel-tank/ It's never the big purchases like an engine, it's always the small little things like fuel tanks, batteries, switches, etc. that always wind up...

    Aerobeez 45% Extra 300 assembly

    I might be accosted for that one... :oblong: Speaking of Servos, went with HS-5565MH's. Coreless, digital, HV, all I will need for throttle and choke. HS-7980TH's will come later.

    Aerobeez 45% Extra 300 assembly

    Question for the ZDZ180 guys. What servos do you use for throttle and choke? I was thinking of using an HS-5565MH for throttle and an HS-5087MH for choke. http://hitecrcd.com/products/servos/sport-servos/digital-sport-servos/hs-5565mh-economical-high-speed-digital-coreless-servo-/product...

    Prototype airplane ;) If I had to pick from something currently on the market right now then I'd go with a Pilot Extra or Edge.

    Aerobeez 45% Extra 300 assembly

    Hi guys. Most of you know that I acquired this airplane last week to help do some testing on it for Aerobeez. This is a prototype model that has made its way around the country and into the hands of various pilots for feedback and now it's my turn. Santiago had it setup with HS-7980TG servos...
