    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    What I do is I remove the wing bolts and keep them in my hand and do one wing panel at a time- it's difficult for me to do another wing panel when my hand is full ;) Then I double check before the canopy goes on. I'm habitual with stuff like that, it's difficult for me to forget.

    The question is, how will this 400 feet be determined within accuracy if the aircraft does not contain altitude sensing equipment on it?

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Well... it was a little wet last night, but not enough to shut down the field. So 3d shenanigans ensued!! Burned a gallon between the last 2 days. I'd say a weekend well spent.

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

    Went down into the shop and dusted off some of the Pilot 107" Edge parts, cut out the slots in the elevators for the servo arms and cut out the servo bays in each wing panel. Getting it prepped for equipment.

    Help - Need name of manufacturer

    I don't think it's an Aeroworks, their trim scheme is slightly different.

    Not so sure this airplane can handle more than a 120! :oblong::big-grin:

    New Build Help

    Well you also have to remember that 3D airplanes are also VERY draggy- they're not designed for speed, they have a lot of surface area all over the airplane which creates drag. If it's all out speed you're looking for then an EDF jet would better suite your needs.

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

    It's probably Secraft, not 100% though. Bought the airplane 2nd hand. I like the quietness of the cans but I feel the engine has more in it without the cans. I'll keep them on until something goes wrong with them.

    I ran the A60-18L with a Xoar 24x12 PJN and 12s 5000 30C packs in my 50cc Yak 54 and it hauled that airplane around with authority. It's probably going to be way overkill and a lot of weight for a 30cc airplane though, the motor alone weighs 2lb- coupled with the mount and the ESC you need...

    Battery Charger Recommendation

    That's because it has an oilite bushing inside. The oil is impregnated into it and as it heats up from use, it draws the oil out. You can put a drop of 3 in 1 household oil in the fan bushing if you want to quiet it up.
