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

    I have some TPU, I need to start making tires for fun. Haven't even attempted to use the stuff yet. You'd think if a guy used the correct type of infill you could make an airless tire.I've wondered about the tires the military was putting on hummers or the space rovers. A guy could make an...

    I wouldn't go electric. I love the flight times of gas. My 75" edge was electric, I vaporized a bullet connector, and the flight times were 4min... Just too much hassle to charge and invest in LiPos. So it's switching to gas as well. I use a lot of throttle :)

    So far my GP76 (two 38cc cylinders) has been flawless, but very little flight time on it.

    Skywing 91" Edge 540 V2 Assembly Thread

    This is what I did on the ARS. Opted for 4-40 or M3 with blind nuts as well for the ignition mount. The caps had plenty of clearance.
