    250 FPV Racer

    I still have this project and have started working on it again. Buuuutttt I was telling a guy at work about these and I got his kids into RC. They built a couple and got them flying so I decided to go the quick route.. I bought a Immersionrc Vortex 250 Pro Ummagawd edition with a set of...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    It's doesn't have* to be, there are quite a few reports of people satisfied with the way it runs out of the box. There's a pretty good thread on RCG you can read through and make your own call. If I ever get the engine I will probably try it stock and see how it is. Right now I'm spending too...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    I was wondering if that's what the holes were for, that makes sense now. I'll use the standoffs also then, lol. No prob on the vinyl, post some pics if you've got them!

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    Hi Tom, it seems pretty good, one difference I noticed was the middle two layers of the firewall (the ones with the tabs) on mine were slotted on one side? Not sure why. Also the side of the firewall box with the offset or the pilots left side of was marked with a hole in it? I'm assuming to...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    Got the firewall cut off today, came out nice and clean. A quick trip to Lowes to get the right tool for the job, I bought this metal cut-off wheel that specific for wood. Went through it like butter. I sanded the corners and sides of the new firewall box to get it to fit easier. Next I'll...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    I also couldn't resist putting on just a little bit of vinyl... I figured since the tail section was pretty much done I'd just do the stuff on the rudder to see how it looks. Way nicer than the included decals. I think it's going to look pretty good.

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    Only one soccer game today so I had some time to work on the Corsair. I bought the Keleo firewall kit for the Saito 84. You cut off the stock firewall, build the replacement firewall/box and it slides into the motor box. I got it all assembled today, it's clearanced so the Keleo exhaust ring...

    Favorite RC Magazine?

    I used to read every magazine I could get my hands on cover to cover before there was the innernets.... Now a days everything you read in a magazine is already dated. I flip through Model Aviation and they have had some stuff that interests me. I like the issue they did with the P-39's. The...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    Been been a while since the last update. Got my vinyl in today, he must have taken me seriously when I said no rush. Dang I think that was a solid 2 month wait! It looks good, haven't put it on yet but it looks nice. I've sold some stuff and have about half the money for the engine. I...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    No not really, I was going to re-plumb the stock tank with Viton and try it in the stock location I think. I can't seem to find another tank that capacity that will fit without moving the rudder servo which I didn't really want to do. I've been really busy with kids sports the last month or...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    New update! Decided to switch directions on the Corsair, as if things weren't complicated enough! I've decided to go with the Saito 84cc. I've sold off the exhaust ring, glow driver, and prop I had for the evolution radial. I've bought and received the Keleo exhaust ring and firewall for the...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    Been a while since I've worked on the Corsair, the weather has been too good so I've been flying in my free time. Made the drive down to Harbor Freight to pick up a small air compressor for the retracts. I'm not really a Harbor Freight fan but the pump was only $9 and I had the 20% off coupon...

    2-stroke oil,what works,what doesn't

    I wouldn't run the amsoil in anything... If I had* to run it I'd run it 40:1 I guess... I heard recently DA stopped recommending Stihl as well, might want to snopes that one though.. Saw it on a message board somewhere. Just gonna stick with Redline. #oilthreads #ohthecontroversy

    spektrum powerbox issue

    How many satellites do you have? It sounds like you may have a bad satellite. If you have 3 and your system will run on 2 try eliminating one of them and use 2 and see if it will bind. Keep alternating the one that gets left out until you either find it or try all 3. If you find one that's...
