    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    More work completed. Got those pesky servos out. You can see the remnants of how they where mounted. I will be sanding it all away for the install of the new gear. The red color is from trying to use some SIG CA debonder but it wouldn't get down in as far as I would have liked. Those pesky...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    A buddy brought me his 1M DLG for repairs. he botched a catch when bringing it in and it landed on its tail snapping it in half. Isn't that paint on my truck hood in amazing condition? First order of business is find something that fits inside the boom. Carbon fiber arrow shaft to the rescue...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Well @AKNick post have giving me the urge to work on some DLG's. Start of the upgrades for my Flitz Classic. KST X08's will replace the old noisy JR servos. Also new Carbon tail to replace the beat up green fiberglass ones. I got these tails for a buddy who had ordered them for his Flitz 2...

    Yes those MKS are very nice. The KST makes a little noise as I had them in my Vortex 3 but they are way better than the JR's

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Stick with the 650 unless you need the 1000 for balance. You can fly a long time off of the 650. Dlg setup is certainly a compromise and the Flitz series in particular has a very tight pod. I just ordered some new KST X08’s to install in mine as the JR’s in the pod are noisy as hell

    Damn sucks to see it go in like that. I guess in a way you are better than me in that I can't remember the last time I did a range check on any of my stuff.

    Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

    I will try to watch that at some point as I hadn't seen it before. I have been having a blast flying this new 2.4m foam glider I got. It's heavy as hell but still thermals so nice. Got a 26 minute flight yesterday on one battery and in total I had maybe a minute of run time on the motor, maybe a...

    I have been swimming in the pond once before. Have flown my UMX timber on floats off of it a few times though. For the most part I kept my dlg above dry land.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Yeah my DLG is all black on the bottom minus a large orange patch on one wing and an orange pinstripe on the LE and I can see it really well. I have had people tell me the pinstripe on the front is a waste but I can promise you when the plane is a ways out and your flying towards yourself that...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    In the RCGroups thread on in many have upgraded the motor to the one that comes in their ASW28 and then run 4S turning a bigger prop. I need to get my watt meter out and see what its pulling. If I could manage to turn a slightly bigger prop on the same battery I think that would do it. It's...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I flew it today and it fly's awesome. I will be painting the bottom black I think. even with the blaze orange I put on it when you're way up there it all blended in and was hard to tell what way was what. My opinion on the plane. Worth every bit of the $140 price tag. It is a bit heavy but it...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Added some Orange to the bottom of the big glider to make it stand out a bit more. Actually tempted though to paint the entire bottom of it black so it stands out really well.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Got it all assembled and a basic program setup in my radio. I will slowly add to the program to give it all the mixes I would like to have but for now this will work. comes in at 56 ounces which is a bit porky but that's without me adding anything to it other than my rx and the recommended...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    This one right here. Good ole Hobby King. Less than a week to get here from the US warehouse. first impressions are its pretty nice for the price. Only one small blemish on the foam that will get covered by a decal. Everything fits together nicely. includes FPV canopy for those that like to do...

    Postman brought me a really big foam glider. The little F22 is a buddies.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I would say some canned mixes is a nice thing, will make it easier for someone coming over from from one of the name brands. I'm the same way though except I started with Futaba. As soon as I got used to my X9D I sold all of my futaba stuff. I do now have a Spetrum DX9 but it is only for my...
