    Sport 30% Edge 540 Pete Marshall Plans with Laser Cut Short Kit

    I built the horizontal stabilizer much the same as I built the vertical stabilizer. The elevator halves were a little bit harder to get the tips perfectly lined up. As you can see, I them like dominoes, only backwards. I also built the two halves side by side. As I was doing it, I had a little...

    I emailed Pilot RC's owner directly for a cowl that was just primed and not painted. The same cowl bought from chief aircraft has a part number of PRC COWLED-30.

    I just took out the wood lining inside the cowl. It will work just beautifully with a little extra space on the bottom.

    Sport 30% Edge 540 Pete Marshall Plans with Laser Cut Short Kit

I cut a long 10 mm wide strip of sheeting and then cut them to size measuring on the rudder itself. Then I roughly cut the top sheeting. I then placed...

    Finally!! Back from Europe and had some decent temperatures in the garage to do a little building!!! I soldered the deans connectors on the two switches I will be using and took the Pilot cowl out to see if it will fit. Either by taking out the plywood inside the cowl or by reshaping F-1 a...

    Beginner Giant Scale RC Questions, Let's hear them

    Here is some questions for you for a person building their first giant scale... How many rolls of covering is required for a 30% monoplane just with the base color? I am going to run my 30% plane as high voltage. Will 1x 3500 mah 2s lipo suffice to keep the electronics happy? That would be...

    I guess he didn't like it, WOAH....

    Couldn't have been too bad of performance if he needed to do that to make it look so bad;) The only sad part is someone would most definitely have loved to take that plane and make it their own for a little money even... though most definitely his prerogative to do.
