    Austin Texas 3D Bash

    Rob, indeed it was good to see you again! I've heard Bobby talk about you so much, I guess I feel like I've known you for a while. ;) And thanks for the offer to fly your EF plane, I just didn't get around to it. Maybe next time. :)

    I put the photos I shot on Picasa this morning. Not a lot, but enjoy anyway. :) https://plus.google.com/photos/100793347661480825094/albums/6020359987524687441?banner=pwa

    Removing black yuck from DLE-30

    OK, I made a command decision. Since a bolt hole is stripped, I just ordered a new cylinder (despite having already ordered helicoils). I guess I should have looked inside before I ordered the helicoils! :facepalm:

    Removing black yuck from DLE-30

    Hey guys, I've got a DLE-30 torn down for the Bowman ring and other tricks, but the inside of it is just disgusting. Well, actually, it's only half disgusting since one half of it is fairly clean! What would y'all suggest as the best way to remove that carbon(?) or should I bother? The top...

    Xoar, Vess, and Mejzlik 18" props

    Haha, good to know. I guess I should definitely wait then! :) I run SEF 40:1 in mine, mainly due to the lack of smell (since I keep it in my house). I wonder if I'll need to go to a different fuel (oil) for break-in? I'd hate to start "yet another oil" thread though to ask. :)

    Xoar, Vess, and Mejzlik 18" props

    Thanks Gary, I might take you up on that. However, now that I think about it, what I should probably do is wait until I get the Bowman ring I just received installed, do the reed valve block mod, then see what my RPM is. To be honest, I've just been running the thing as I got it, and haven't...

    Xoar, Vess, and Mejzlik 18" props

    I have the following props that I would like to trade (or sell): Xoar 18x6 beechwood NIP Vess 18x8S (used and drilled for DLE-30) Mejzlik 18x8 (used and drilled for DLE-30) You can see pictures here. What I'd like to do is try a 19x7 or 20x6 to try and slow the MXS-R down a bit! Let me know...

    New Here? Introduce yourself!

    Texas. :) There is nothing normal about any of us. LOL For the longest time, I had little interest in 3D planes. To be honest, I didn't see the appeal! Then I got the Velox and Slick and did my first tumbles and blenders... Now I get it. It's a whole new discipline to learn, and I'm having...

    New Here? Introduce yourself!

    Yeah, Bobby reminded me of that tonight. I did miss that show, and totally forgot about it! :ashamed: We're definitely going to have more plane content, because I'm swinging back to that side of the hobby now. I spent all afternoon surfing the build threads here, and had a blast. Now I want one...

    New Here? Introduce yourself!

    Listening now. I didn't know you guys did a podcast. In fact, I'd not even seen this forum until I started researching the MXS-R purchase! :facepalm:
