    The Banshee shows up extremely well in the sky and against light backgrounds. The bottom color scheme contrasts the top so much that it makes it simple to tell up from down. If you're thinking of doing smoke then definitely go big, but if you have a 50cc then I'd say keep it conservative on the...

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

    False alarm. Someone installed the turnbuckles on the ailerons improperly (the outboard turnbuckles needed to be installed on the inboard side). Got everything all dialed, just had to dremel the ball links a bit to make them fit. Crisp as a fresh bag of chips, ready for the weekend :D

    Sonofagun.... Somehow my Tower order for my new ball links got mis-shipped to a different address so they have to be re-forwarded to the right address. Had them sent to work and was expecting them today, well now they won't be delivered until tomorrow when we will be closed :( So then I picked...

    Well hey if you need a place to store your 40% airplanes while you figure out your 35% craving then by all means feel free to drop me a line. I'm sure I can manage to find a nice cozy place for them, they'll get proper loving every weekend ;)

    I'd say take that refund and get yourself another to be sure ;) Worst case scenario they would probably do the same thing again if it winds up being a fluke, but with how many positive reviews there are out there with that engine right now I'd say chances are that one particular was just a...

    What problem was this? There's probably half a dozen of them down here that all run without a problem, and all of the other guys who use them haven't reported any issues :confused:

    But what do you think of the ZDZ180? I flew a 40% Pilot 330SC with one last weekend and couldn't believe how crisp and powerful that engine was, yanked that big airplane around like it was light as a feather.

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

    Well it seems to have worked like a charm. I have done that before on smaller airplanes (filling the holes with medium CA) but was not sure if it is an accepted practice with bigger airplanes :oblong: Servos are all tight back in place, ready for the weekend. New spats and DuBro ball links...

    Never seen the 123 with the blue hub. Must be something new they're doing?

    I think I'll saturate the whole thing with thin CA to harden it all up (this wasn't done in the first place) and then drip Medium CA down in the holes to hopefully seal the hole up, then re-drill. Thanks guys :)
