    SupaTim with his 3DHS Bigfoot

    Kind of forced to go electric with that plane though.

    Bummer. I wonder since the DX6 is identical to the DX7 other than a rotary knob and a three pos switch (and +$100), there may be an input for a rotary knob already integrated on the circuit board... hmmmm

    SupaTim with his 3DHS Bigfoot

    He has a VVRC40 in the cowl? What ever happened to this model... 3DHS is making little foot's but there seems to be a demand for the big foot and they are not aren't making them???

    I know Arron Bates has played around with switches, all I have found is on/off style toggle switch changed to a push button so far.

    Has anyone converted a two/three way Tx switch to a rotary knob? Thinking about swapping it on a DX6... I have a feeling the radio wont allow it. Anyone?

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    I remember the large size costing a bit more as well and a bit harder to find. I thought someone used the large size, I don't think the dB dropped much with a tiny drop on the top end. With that said, I haven't really found anybody using this one yet. Let me know if you do! Noise was an issue...

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    I don't recall if anybody has used that setup on this particular airframe. I thought about doing it, but It seemed that the cost outweighed the benefit for me personally. The Pitts Muffler from J-Tec is pretty much the go-to muffler. You can find people using a header and canister or pipe of...

    Thanks for the input, Kinda curious what people think of the 3DHS Extra 330 LT 61" as well.

    Good to know, Thanks! Any other airframes I should consider in the 60" electric range?

    Looks like a fun one to me! I have never had any ExF airframes before, or an MXS for that matter. The problem is shipping them to Alaska... Maybe Tim with Northwest RC will be able to fill the void a bit??? How well does the MXS fly in high alpha or torque rolls in your opinion? Thanks

    At least she's okay with your new gasser! I still need to finish my AJ Laser before I think about another gasser. I've been contemplating a 64" ExFl MXS and making it my largest electric plane... for now of course. Need a machine that wont freeze your fingers off warming it up in the winter time.

    Azhar Osmanbhoy owner of Aztech Aeromodels Tribute

    Sad News. He called me about an order one time, Item was out of stock, but managed to find what worked instead. Pleasure to talk to on the phone, and I always appreciated how fast his company was (is!) when it came to shipping and customer support. Prayers headed out to his family and friends.

    Scale Top Flite P-40 Build Thread

    I made this shark mouth on my H9 P-40B? So the nose is a bit longer... not the ideal "Flying Tigers" Airframe, but I really like the version of the sharks mouth that I added. Maybe some inspiration???

    Did you have a paint scheme already picked out? The P-40 is looking great Charles.

    Discussion Airframe Vibration Prevention/Deadening

    I know there is a lot of folks out there that have dealt with ways to keep a single cylinder gasser from eating an airframe. Other than the obvious (prop/spinner balancing), what methods have you used for the longevity of your airframe? I'll post a couple scenarios; 1.) Canopy hatch pins and...

    DLE 35RA Muffler bolts

    Copper RTV on the muff and bolt threads yah? Seems like that has been a easy, working, readily available alternative to nordlocks, and locktite. I think we all agreed that cleaning the bolt threads and casting threads prior to RTV, locktite, or nordlocks have been the way to go.

    DLE 35RA Muffler bolts

    Curious to see how everybody's various muffler securing methods have been working out for the DLE35RA and the stock muff. Mine hasn't come loose after about 3-4 gallons more by ditching the gasket and using Red RTV, clean bolts, and with Nordlock washers as previously mentioned.

    Best 3d starter plane

    Sounds like your thinking electric in the 40" range? People really like the Extreme Flight 48" Extra 300EXP or a 44" 3DHS Slick540/580 would be a good choice. It really depends on how forgiving of a bird you need. Something like a Multiplex Stuntmaster made of foam would be more forgiving...
