    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    I was talking about the main elevator cables, not the trim tab. The trim tab servo is on a spring loaded slider to keep the cables engaged in the pulley and tight as the elevator moves up and down No 7th annual, started in 2015, the fun fly is 6/19/21.

    Snoop, Do you remember asking about changing the cables? Your question raised some thought and I went ahead and ordered some more cable, 60# test SS coated cable , 100' for about $15.00. I am going to replace the elevator cables with double crimp the connections. The rudder cables are easy to...

    My grandson decided to nap this morning, gave me a chance to block sand the guide coat on the cowl, started with 320 and said to myself this is silly since the cowl will get a coat of white Ekoprime, switched to 220. I'm happy with the result. 45 degrees here today to cold to paint, 72...

    I would seem to me that the canopy and the front section need to be separate pieces. I believe your problem occurs when the bend reverses?

    It does take some time, I strip planked the turtle deck on my Cherokee, it's the best solution when the surface is bending in two or more directions. One strip at a time!

    Now that's pretty neat, you get to see his flying on a regular basis. When I learned to fly RC some 35+ years ago I can remember my instructor harping about smooth stick movement and becoming a better flyer, not so today! I don't know how I could keep up with the stick banging corner to...

    In my mind it's hard to image anything that I want to do that can't be done in OpenTX. I've read the all the post over on RCg for ETHOS and the new X20, there's a half million views for a transmitter that's not commercial yet! Hasn't changed my mind yet, sticking with Taranis Plus SE, hell I...
