    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    I decided to delay the home project until next spring so I put the Champ back on the bench, determined that the rear mount for the stabilizer was not going the work so went ahead and made new parts for a rear mount and began installing the front stabilizer mount. Once the epoxy cures the...

    The bed length is fine, the swing might be a little on the small side!

    You will use the lathe for many things unrelated to airplanes. It's not so much the size of the parts but more the power of the machine that's doing the work.

    I have a HF 9"X19" lathe and a cheap Grizzley mill/drill. I wish the lathe had cross feed but you need to get into a $2000 machine for cross feed. For the hobby both machines can do whatever I need. There are some nice machines on Craig's list, at least in my area.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I started looking at at the 7x14 mini lathe and ended up buying a 9"x19", wished I would bought a bigger lathe with cross feed. My 9x19 does everything I want it too just get tired of cross feeding manually. You will spend more money on tooling than the lathe. Once you have it for a while you...

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

    This is the current layout of the circuit boards. The switches will be hard wired to the main board as the JST plugs are removed. The RF board will be hard wired with plugs on the main board side. The original charger board and the new LIPO balance charger boards are there as well. The...

    The screen has limited view from the rear access cover. The switches are located on the top of the transmitter. I will adjust the position once the wiring begins, longer paddles inside. The current layout is same as the Taranis, SA on the lower left side.

    K&S 83060 aluminum tube was used to make the standoffs for the trim buttons, The buttons take up a lot of room and always seem to the way. The standoffs are tapped for 4-40.

    The Taranis gimbals fit into the case holes, a little filing was required to get them to sit flush. I had to file the trim tab slots wider to fit the trim buttons in. The battery level meter is calibrated to 8.4 volts and will be functional. The original power switch will be retained. My...

    There were three boxes of transmitters at the auction, pretty sure each box had at least one Kraft. There was little interest in many of them, Kraft were top of the line when I stared flying. Boy how things have changed! I'll post some photos later.

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

    It's too cold to work outside on shed so I started stuffing the internals of a Taranis XD9 into a Futaba FG series case. Bought a box of old transmitters at an auction last week for $15.00. Gave a Kraft single stick to a a friend, keep two Futaba FG series and pitched the rest. Not as much...
