    Another 60" Laser-EXP build

    I have a bunch of covering kicking around. I forget when I bought the yellow for...maybe it was my Carden from back when it had a different scheme. There was a kid on RCG selling strips of it ready to go but I think now that he's back in school he's not doing it any more. In any case I will...

    Another 60" Laser-EXP build

    Yes, sorry for the delay in posting the build. Many Beaver-related activities. I should finish it soon.

    Twisted Hobbys 32" Crack Laser!

    Yeah mine finally got to the point where it wouldn't really roll axially or consistently and had gained some weight from all the glue so I retired it and built another one. Love this plane.

    Sweet. The Alien is one of my favorite pilots.

    Another 60" Laser-EXP build

    If you get some fogging from the CA on the hinges, you can remove it with acetone. Be careful not to get any acetone on the hinges themselves as this could soften the plastic or the CA bonding them in. Now let's seal the ailerons. You can do this with blender tape, but I find that some...

    Another 60" Laser-EXP build

    There is a lot of discussion floating around regarding this airplane so I figured I would start a thread as a repository for all that knowledge. Also, the plane should be released shortly, so this will become a build thread before long! The Extreme Flight 60" Laser EXP is the fourth in...

    Crack Turbo Beaver proto

    These should be available shortly guys! We will have a full build thread here of course. This thing is a blast to fly and is a must-have. There is simply no other airplane out there that combines 3D ability, small-plane EPP toughness, and bush-plane antics. It is equally at home doing...

    60" Laser-EXP

    They are 90 apiece, but you can get a three pack and a single one and it comes down to like 85 apiece.

    60" Laser-EXP

    I am using a 2100 mah LiPo right now into a Smart-Fly SuperSwitch. Overkill but I had it laying around. I don't have much time on them yet. Unfortunately I won't be able to get much time on them before I put them in the Laser. I think I will run them at just 6 volts for a little while to...

    60" Laser-EXP

    I should have mine tomorrow as well. I think I am going to run the new RJX FS-0391 servos in it. I have tested these a little bit and unfortunately due to some other issues I only have two flights on them in a 60" Extra...but they incredible so far. Great centering, 147 oz-in of torque, and...

    Lesson learned: Bullet connectors

    I've melted the alligator clips on my charger because the bullet didn't fit well. The high resistance of the bullet made it heat up from all the current it was passing, which caused a huge amount of heat (P=I^2R)

    78'' Extra

    The NE IMAC region is the best!

    78'' Extra

    Speaking of your old Extra and Daren, he managed second place at his first IMAC contest this weekend with it. Go Daren!

    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    Glad you like it! I think it's time for me to build a new one. Mine's getting pretty haggard right now..

    Twisted Hobbys 32" Crack Laser!

    You can get away without it but it's a good idea for sure. It will reinforce the front of the fuse, and it's pretty tough so it really won't get hurt in grass. Also, you can land on pavement with it, and if the grass is short enough it will actually roll OK. It also looks cool!

    First annual Plum Island IMAC contest

    It means that they have attended judging school and can provide assistance with judging. In IMAC, most all judging is by contestants from other classes.

    First annual Plum Island IMAC contest

    I am pleased to present the first IMAC contest at historic Newburyport's Plum Island airport! http://www.mini-iac.com/Home/ControlPanels/EventSystem/EventDetail/tabid/75/xmmid/397/xmid/17637/xmview/2/RecordID/17637/default.aspx Set at a full scale airport right near the beach and a great...

    Hobbyking Donkey ST4010-820

    Specs wise it would work, but I would avoid it for a number of reasons: 1. As Pontus said, it does not have bearings. It has bushings. This is pretty ridiculous IMO. These will wear out in short order, especially in 3D. 2. Collet adapter instead of bolt-on adapter. These are prone to...

    Twisted Hobbys 32" Crack Laser!

    Thanks! Glad you like it. Throw some motor on there with some power and it will really come alive!

    Twisted Hobbys 32" Crack Laser!

    Enterprise had his CL set up with that motor as well and it felt the same to me. A bit disappointing because all the other Motrolfly motors I have tried have been awesome. The CS 20 gram motor definitely puts out more power.
