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

    I'm with you there, I do prefer to use those screws instead of the stock phillips head ones. The builder of the airplane felt the same way so that's what's on everything already :) Medium CA should fix the problem good enough then eh? I have new Dubro Ball Links coming in the mail as well...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    If you have a hand pump then just tell your buddy to come take a look at the pump cause you think it's leaking air bubbles when you crank it (have him crank it the whole time to check) ;):D

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

    Question for the masses... I had to remove my wing and elevator servos from my 107" Yak (there are 6 total servos) to do some maintenance to the servos and to the mounting rails for each of them. What do you guys do when it comes to the mounting holes being nearly stripped out? I don't know if...

    I personally would go with the DLE60 if you plan on advancing up into 3D flying. The 111 is going to have gnarly power and will require careful throttle management to keep from tearing the airplane apart in more aggressive 3D maneuvers but you should indeed be fine with most other flying...

    They've been slapping carbon everywhere on these airframes, there is even carbon inside of the wings and stabs to strengthen and reinforce everything (and I'm not talking about the stab and wing tubes ;) ). Aerobeez has really stepped it up big time and went all out with these airplanes and it...

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

    I have wanted to do this with my Yak for a while but when I opened up my forward cowl vents to fit my mufflers and opened up the rear exit hole in the bottom it turned out to be plenty enough to evacuate the hot air. I figure I'll open up the cowl vents on my next Pilot to make things more...

    C/A hinges in Giant Scale Planes

    A 96" span airplane I would really push you towards just using pin hinges, not CA hinges. If you can't get the control throw for 3D then you really shut re-work the bevel. Do things right the first time and you won't have to re-do them down the line, or potentially face the consequences of a...

    A nice conclusion to my 3 days flying weekend today. Tomorrow I'll be busy enjoying my towns annual 4th of July parade so no flying. Something like 13-14 flights for me this weekend, which is ridiculous for me :oblong:

    Thinking I might need to see a doctor, I've managed to burn a gallon of fuel and 9 flights on my 91" Slick the last 2 days- I never log that much, maybe that in 2-3 weeks :oblong::oblong::oblong::eek: Tomorrow we're flying the Yak :D Yup, most 91" airplanes come in right at about 21lb with...
