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

    A lot of 3D planes just have a wire going through the ball link eye that's glued inside the rudder. That wire is a bit beefy... as a cushion you could insert a 3M screw through the ball link and wire tie a piece of silicone fuel tubing to it and connect the other end to the wire (maybe make a...

    Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

    This last week I flew my 84”TBM on floats and the 120” TBM on bush tires at the beach. My little boy was my side kick both outings. He’s been talking airplanes and asking me to fly them. Completely filling my heart guys.

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

    Got a cute new hitec charger. Didn’t come with any leads. They are XT60 instead of banana plugs which is new to me. Made my own little charge leads with XT60/JST/JR connector combos. Neat little charger, auto detects the batteries when plugged in and you can cycle through the cell voltages and...

    Joe Nall 2025

    Horizon was doing a Joe Nall special for $200 (just need a 3S 2200) add the floats for $35. I guess they sold out and had a guy come in with more!

    Joe Nall 2025

    Not sure if it was this pic or not, but soon after my metal servo arm (with a pinch screw) sheared the teeth leaving my plane in a hard over rudder. I did a circle and landed it hard after using my kill switch. Broke the prop, bent the spinner back plate, damaged the left elevator hinge. Got...

    Joe Nall 2025

    Group of us looking over a little mishap where myself (gray AJ shirt), Kevin (orange), and the guy in the green next to Jase were hovering, did a 3-2-1 up, I peeled off into a waterfall, but those two kept going up and then down into a blender… and got blended! A wing made contact with a landing...

    I was taunted into dragging a wing tip, wasn’t able to do a full circle but still quite fun! Little bit in night flying and a view of the people. Quite the turnout!
