    Why do you love this hobby?

    I love this hobby because of all the wonderful people who fly rc. Yes, it is cool and a lot of fun to fly toy planes, but all the friends I have made make it great. :D I went to a night fly this past weekend and ended up spending 8 minutes flying and 4 hours bs'ing. The...

    Wing Nut / attachments

    Sounds good to me. I don't see any reason it couldn't work. The force needed to shear a pin is higher than the standard nylon bolts commonly used on 50cc planes.

    The PAU planes are very nice. I would consider the PAU extra. I'm building one right now and I'm amazed by the quality. Some of the finest I've seen.

    Note to all: Debonder damages the tinting of the canopy. I was working with some debonder to get ca off my fingers and a bit got on the inside of the canopy glass. It caused some serious scuff marks. I was able to use car polishing compound to buff the scratches out, but it...

    That's too bad that Delta messed up. Dog is part of the family though. Once the plane is done, we should try and meet up for a day of flying.

    I've just finished installing the control horns for the second time... I didn't realize the washers for the nuts and bolts are not the same. They are side specific. Starting to route the servo leads tonight.

    For foamies, I like Twisted Hobby and Aerobeez foamies. I have seen some people convert the 3dh 48 edge to glow. I think that would work with a 46. A good youtube channel to subscribe to would be 3drcforums. My channel is "Jacob Pollak".

    Extreme Flight 104 Extra

    I wonder if your telemetry may not be working right. I've never had luck with temp telemetry. My last unit always read 20-25%higher than true temperature.

    Epoxy. It won't completely fuel proof it, but if have a small fuel spill it wont get all over the wood and damage glue joints.

    Tonight I began painting all the exposed wood with finishing resin. It is going to give the wood a nice shiny amber(ish) finish as well as semi-fuel proofing it. Pics to be posted when dry.

    +1000000000 Well Said Herve. I am a fan of constant inspections pre- and post- flight. If a glue joint could have slowly been separating and that one last pop-top could have made the final break.. I've began a practice that I picked up flying IMAC; Re-wet glue joints (not...

    Ailerons and elevators are now hinged and sealed. Available throw: Ailerons- 60* Elevators- 65 I'm not sure if the control horns and servo geometry will allow me this throw. We shall see. I used 6 playing cards for the hinge gap on the ailerons, and 4 for the elevators.

    To seal the hinges, I am using white ultracote.
