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

    the frysky have a lot of features and everybody jumps on the open source bandwagon, but i have yet to meet a single user that writes their own code for it. Most can barely get beyond binding a simple 4 channel plane or quadcopter let alone setting expo or dual rates.. But they are all about...

    Favorite connectors

    i have used them all and prefer the xt plugs. app get slopoy and dont connect wellover time. Deans dont work well in low current applications and on high voltage setups get burnt when you plug in. xt 60 and the anti spark xt 90 are hard to beat..

    NGH Four Cycle Engines.

    Tim at Northwest RC is the new DLE USA rep. The tower bankrupcy and bad blood over valley view doing the warranty work for them etc.. led to the change to a new distributor. Tim is a good guy and is ramping up the inventory but nothing happens overnight. i know he has engines in stock...

    Cool Fromeco, above and beyond!

    ak you are wrong. Li-ion fall on their face if you over amp them. life or a123 dont.. thats why big models run 5000 mah li-ion packs. its not the oveall capacity but the generally low c rating of li-ion that drives the size.. life batteries beat all other chemistry out there on all all...

    250 FPV Racer

    The zmr is a good first build and should give you plenty of enjoyment-- make sure when you are soldering you have a good iron and some flux does help.. figure out what pins you need and try to only install them to keep it smaller and cleaner. Also some liquid tape from Walmart is good to cover...

    1 October 2016 Othello Weaver Field Wings Of Hope

    Hey guys, make sure you make it over to Weavers field this year for Wings of Hope. There is a nice bunch of goodies that will go on the block to raise money to help out one of our own. Attendance was down at the last couple events this year and it would be nice to wind up the year with a good...

    Prop assistance please

    engel mt super silence 3-bladed 27x12... the 110 will rip the crapola out of a 29x10 mejlick. Price is steep... JC superprop wood from AI will load it more than most of the carbon props and run about 50. Ask Gerhard. The 110cs makes a bit more torque than a da120 so just a wee bit more prop...

    Petitioning AMA members for separation from drones

    Depends... You should try fpv before you jump on how "unsafe" it is. I race quads with 6-7 other guys and it is much safer from a lot of perspectives than racing funfighters. I see exactly what is in front of me and where i am going. When flying a model you watch it. Not where it is...

    Scale Balsa USA 1/3 Scale Super Cub Kit " NIB "

    Do yourself a favor and move the strut mounts aft 1/2 inch on the fuselage. Also i would put a wing tube across the top of the fuse and out 3-4 bays in the wing. This will make it much easier to pot together and will prevent the cabin top from breaking under negative g loads. Look closely at...

    42% electronics

    When i bought my 3.3 meter yak it had a 14 channel futaba receiver fed by two sahara regulators via a wolverine switch. The setup had 10 flights on it, all of the wiring upstream of the receiver was pretty crispy. It wouldnt have gone too many more flights without a serious problem. It had 12...
