    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Here is my pod setup. Servos are turned sideways and angled a little bit and personally I hate it. When I redo it I plan to design and print a tray to go in it and mount them side by side with lines going down opposite sides. Also I recommend doing a pinned setup for the wing servos. Makes...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I will try to get a picture for you when I get home from work this afternoon. I do not care for the way the layout is in mine but I bought it used so I get what I get. mine has older JR servos in it and I have thought about ripping it all out and upgrading to a set of KST X08's I have laying...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    You will love it. I have flown both a Flitz 1 and Flitz 2 and obviously own a Flitz 1. I prefer the 1 over the 2 by just a little bit. I only say that as it has a little more wing area that the Flitz 2 so it signals lift a little better for someone like me that doesn't see the signs of it. Keep...

    I did it for the sheeting on my 20cc Giles profile. I will find the files and post some images of it.

    You guys stay tuned. This plane along with a couple of my other designs may actually be getting kitted. I will keep you all informed if and when it happens.

    my advice is to order nice blades. I have a couple sets of the cheap pinless blades from Lowe’s. I believe they are made my Bosch abs they work fine but are very sensitive to using too much pressure and will break easy. I got a nicer set a couple years ago and they hold a lot better.

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

    Check your email I just forwarded the files to you. Three different files. One is the templates for cutting parts that are full size. Second is the assembly drawing like you had pictured. It came through scaled down to fit on printer paper so I scaled it up to be as close as possible to the size...

    Draco looks awesome but I wish they had stuck with a smaller version like 1.5M or so as $600 is a hard pill to swallow for a foamy. Profile looks nice but its basically a copy of the Mojo65 with some modifications done to it.

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

    I got lucky in a way when it comes to the 3D modeling in that I transferred into the engineering department at work so I get access to a really nice software for free along with the help of our designers in using it and learning it. I still want to take a formal class on it but its not a class I...

    Don't kill the project. Looks neat. Modify it so it will work. on another note if you want to learn a 3D software it helps so much with seeing how things are going to fit together.

    Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

    Took the UMX timber for a float fly during my lunch break yesterday. Good times where had but I found that as good as this plane flys in the wind, when it has floats on it, it sucks in the wind.

    LOL. I have never used a Prusa. At work we have a Lulzbot TAZ 6 that I use a lot. At some point I'm going to get myself an Ender 3 or better for home use.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    As was brought up by @pawnshopmike in another thread I have been working on a Mustang recently just one that rolls not fly's. More Goodies showed up for it today. Well I call them goodies but the timing cover gasket set is going to be a PITA to do.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    If I still have the car I promise it will be an 11-12 second car if not faster by the time she is able to drive and if she continues to show interest throughout the years leading up to it she will already be experienced and know to respect it as I will be teaching her along the way. Would...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    Things have been going well. Focused on school work for the most part. The car is a happy distraction as my daughter likes to come help in the garage so it counts as family time. Car is a 1995 and sadly I have spent way more in it than its actually worth but it is what it is. I think I have put...
