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

    The only Top Flite kit I built was a Trainer 40 way back, pretty sure it was my second real RC airplane build. From what I remember it was a very nice kit. The wings were built on a supplied 1/4" music wire jig. Powered with an OS 40 FP bushed engine, man did that engine make a lot of crank...

    Well not sure what has happened but this morning I can now access the site on my PC. I really hate using the phone for this, my fingers are three letters wide. Great to be back. I have been working at my daughters house doing a little patching and painting, yesterday I removed wallpaper in a...

    I spent almost 2 hours online with my antivirus support. They removed the VPN and antivirus programs and the problem persists, how do I contact an administrator for the site?

    My computer is blocking the site since Saturday. Turned off VPN and virus protection and still can’t access the site. Phone even warned me that the security certificate expired 3 days ago. Never seen that warning before. Anyone have any ideas?

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

    Put the primer on all six pieces and the True Red base coat to the cowl and canopy. The white will go on next. I would normally paint the white first but on the Cherokee I had a little problem when I removed the masking after painting the red. I got little specks of red in the white as it...

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

    I assume I used epoxy to glue these in and really wasn't looking forward to messing with the hinges. The hinges are also recessed into the rudder post to put the hinges on the centerline. I just use the trim iron as best I could. After sitting for 6 or 7 years, I'm not looking for a show...

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

    The vertical fin and rudder were a real pain to due the hinging. On the elevators I use Sig X style hinges so they came apart. I had made my own hinges for the ailerons. For some reason I decided to use Robart pin hinges for the rudder so there was no taking apart. Thankfully the hinge pins...

    Say Mike, how did you guys manage to get $10,000 in prizes? I need to start working on our annual fun fly next year.

    Need one more piece of covering to finish off the fuselage, I need to start rounding up the parts to put everything back together, may have used some or lost some? I reported earlier that I built this plane in 2014, but I looked back and found I started in 2011!

    The Hobby King covering was removed with a heat gun, those areas where the top plastic layer separates from the color base clean up very easy with acetone. A little more about this plane. I wanted canisters on the plane when I built it, could not find a can to my liking so I decided to modify...

    I have two One Design planes. One designed by Robert Godfrey and the second designed by Frank Knoll. I recently recovered the Godfrey designed plane and put three flights on it this past Saturday. When the Knoll designed plane was built in 2014 I decided to use Hobby King covering material to...

    How does the 120 compare to the 106? Been flying my friends Aeroworks 35% Extra with a 3W 150CS, insane power.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    What changes? It's all there now. The lug below accepts a CM6 plug, the thermistor bulb are crimped in the lug and a little heat shrink tube and you have plug indication. For 1/4"-32 plugs I use a 10-12 gage 1/4" lug. How many temps do you need? You can daisy chain FrSky SP-RPM RPM/Temp...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    Yes, very stupid mistake on my part. I used a stabilized receiver that I had the the three way switch programed backwards. Never gave any indication that the stabilization was turned on until the plane broke ground. I had planned to fly the flight with it off until the plane was trimmed and...
