    Sport Midwest Cap232 (old kit) DLE55

    Fibertech, Thanks for the reply. So I pulled up my shorts and cut the engine box down, the first pull of the saw is the hardest! I had already built the engine box and pinned and epoxied the firewall because it had never occurred to me to check cowl/engine fit before hand. Live and learn and...

    Post your dumb RC moves here

    Does this count as a Dumb move? Thats about sixty feet up and looked much farther away than it was! (the tree not the plane).

    Sport Midwest Cap232 (old kit) DLE55

    I need some advise from the Guru's. This is my 1st attempt at building a big airplane from a kit and so far it's been ok. I've run in an issue that I'm not sure how to solve. The kit is from 2003 and the plans call for a Moki 30 or Genoa G-45. I looked up the G-45 and it weighs more than...

    What are you going to build in 2015?

    I aquired an 11 year old 27% Midwest cap232 from a guy from our club. I've made my share of mistakes (too excited i guess). The cool thing I've discovered is that you really can't completely screw it up! Just remove,plane or sand it off and then start again. Having to remove a doubler from...

    glow pilot

    It was a proud day when I lost my glow status. Let's not forget guys, "Sarcasm is a tool of the intelligent and wasted on a fool." Not to mention its fun to associate with smart asses just like me! :spongebob:

    **sticky** Understanding Lithium Polymer Batteries

    Thanks Bartman! This is info I will read and re-read. I didn't understand the charge rate and checked. I have batteries that don't list a charge rate like you wrote about. I've always just charged them at 10% of the mah. But honestly I don't remember why, I suppose someone once told me to do...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I'm not sure my planes would come back down with the wind blowing 40! I would just have to wait for the batteries to die!

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    The plan was to go flying today, even talked to a couple other guys and arranged it. We'll all blow off work early and take advantage to the sunshine... It's my fault, I had to post about flying in the wind the other day. Had to brag that I wasn't scared... Mother nature must...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I never used to think about going out to the field in between jobs. Now I'm thinking about squeezing in work between flights! "Merlin, It's time to buzz the tower."
