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

    Looks like this 45% is ready to have the ZDZ bolted in, just need to cut a hole large enough for the carb to slip through. Ordered up some 1/2" SWB standoffs to get the engine bolted in. Need to get to the hardware store and find out what size bolt the cowl uses since they're missing.

    Cargo vans

    I know very little about the Ford and Chevy cargo vans that all pop up, other than they have a lot of miles on them and seem to still be going. Was thinking maybe one of those would work well.

    Anyone have a good source for Radio set-up

    All of these things are going to differ from person to person depending on how they want their airplane to fly. Some want more throw, some want less, some prefer more expo, others less, some people want dual rates, while others just leave it on 1 rate. Throttle curves also vary widely depending...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I was hoping to keep the miles down on it since it's like a prized possession (first new engine I bought) but I guess I'll have to if I want to fly. ---------------- New video!!!

    Assembly: EF 110" Yak-54 V2

    I was thinking about coming up, but then this happened. So I am not so certain about it now since I gotta buy new parts... UNLESS someone had a 110" EF Yak 54 I could tug the sticks on.......... :laughing:

    Well looks like Chief doesn't have the parts in stock and it may be another 4-5 months before I can get them :( Going to have to go through Tony.

    Sunday night GSN Update

    Bart, you gotta do what you gotta do. It's a bummer, but if it's dragging you down then nobody here blames you if you have to let it go. We'll all still stay in touch through various media platforms (Facebook, RCU, FG, RCG, etc.) and I'm more than certain we will all be gathering at some events...

    And this is why we try new stuff up high :oblong::confused::D:p:( Already have a new cowl, canopy, and rudder coming in the mail. Everything else is fine, even the engine, prop, and spinner managed to make it out just fine.

    I'll keep that in mind. I'd rather not wait half a year for it.

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

    No workshop time tonight, but it took all day long just to bring this bad boy home. Pretty excited about it, it's my first 40%. On a side note, where do you guys source your carbon wing tubes from?

    Aerobeez 40% extra prototype!?!?!

    Ray and Aerobeez were nice enough to let me borrow the airplane to do some testing on it. Instead of a DA200 it will be getting a ZDZ180 in the nose (with a custom standoff to let it bolt right in), Hitec HS-7980TH's all around. I'm going to start with 8 servos (same setup as a typical 35%) for...

    Cargo vans

    I would really like to get a trailer to tow airplanes around but it honestly seems like a bigger hassle than it's worth, plus the cost of trailers around here is a little absurd for what you're getting. Cargo vans seem like a better alternative, plus it seems like it's easier to manage when...
