    3dhs 92" Edge 540

    Gyro, I could see you all not being able to drill a hole thru the axle if the drill point was dull. What RPM did you have your drill press set to? If you were using a HSS drill you want to run it at a pretty slow rpm. When I did mine here at the shop I had the drill press set to it's slowest...

    3dhs 92" Edge 540

    I never could get a hand drill to go thru those steel shafts. But as soon as I threw it up on my drill press at work it went thru like butter. You just can't get enough force with a hand drill. Lookin' good

    3DHS New Products and General Plane Info/Help for Fanatics

    Bingo! That's what I broke. And the wing tube too, but have extras of that. Thanks for the suggestions guys and gals, but think I got some thing to work late last night. This time I wrapped the tape, sticky side out around the wing tube. Then soaked the cf tissue with some 20 min epoxy and...

    3DHS New Products and General Plane Info/Help for Fanatics

    Looking for some advise/recommendation. Last week I got in the 2 41" edges I ordered. I got them to be my throw around plane. You know stupid stuff way too low. Well I got a little too crazy on my second flight. Dragged the wing tip and elev on the runway in a KE. And had to dump it before...

    Very odd problem w/DA60

    Got a chance to fly my slick this weekend, and couldn't get the motor to cut out. Must have been that positive wire. Thanks for the help everyone.;)

    Very odd problem w/DA60

    Think I might have found the problem. As I was going thru all of the ignition related plugs, the positive wire to the ignition fell off. This is the connection after the optikill, which is why we didn't se the light from the ignition showing a problem. Nailed it.:D Even if it isn't the...

    Very odd problem w/DA60

    I doubt it is a cowl pressure thing. I have ran about 6 gal thru this 60 with about 20 fights now since trying the snake. And this problem just started on the last three flights, the problem is extremely repeatable. I have experimented with cowl pressure on this plane. The first DA (crank to...

    Very odd problem w/DA60

    I haven't gotten to the plumbing or wires yet. But last night I took the covers off the carb. The screen looked pretty good only two little specs of something in there, nothing that would cause it not to get enough fuel.

    Very odd problem w/DA60

    Thanks for the suggestion. I will do that.

    Very odd problem w/DA60

    Yes, it looks a little different right now (old pic). But the hole is the same size.

    Very odd problem w/DA60

    Hi all, I've got an extremely odd problem going on with my plane, hoping maybe someone out there has maybe experienced it or has a possible cause for it. I flew my plane 10 times this weekend, but this issue only appeared on the last two flights. Every single time I tried it on the last two...

    3D Hobby Shop 47" Extra 300shp

    Oh also. Seal your hinge gaps. I originally had the 103 in there and all was dandy. But as soon as I threw the 130 in there I was getting flutter on the ailerons on the WOT passes. Of course check which rudder servo spot gives you the best cg. Right now I have mine in the pull-pull spot...

    3D Hobby Shop 47" Extra 300shp

    You should be fine with that gap. I've got bigger gaps than that on my 89 slick and never had a problem. The only thing I would caution you to look out for as far as flying characteristics is... In very slow high alpha harriers, it will tip stall and fall about 3 ft if you turn to the left too...

    3dhs 89 slick

    Ok the blue is Ultracote "HANU845" Pearl Blue. And the white I used was Super Monokote. It's not a perfect match but cant tell a difference from 2 ft away.

    I went from a 51 straight to an 89. The 71 will not fit in my car but the 89 will cause the stabs come off. I also have to take the lg off to get it to fit. I know it sounds like a big hassle, but only takes 10-15 mins to assemble at the field. And I never leave for the field without the 51...

    3dhs 89 slick

    I have a roll of the blue at home, I can check for the pn when I get home. I do remember it was "pearl blue or blue pearl" something like that. I also have a roll of white that I've used on mine at home also, but not sure if I have the pn for that one. Clueless on the silver one.
