The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Needs some fine tuning. But the trim is basically done. It’s a lot harder to do scale strips on a square fuselage than I anticipated. I hate to admit that I cheated a lot....... cut covering to patch and make the lines strait. This ain’t no show model, but it’ll look sweet flying. I just need to...- AKNick

Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread
Yeah... felt abrasive. Turned into a debate which wasn't what I was aiming to do after not flying for 2.5months and getting the opportunity to leave the house without the 3mo old for a couple quick flights. I try not to be abrupt... but he kindof poked the bear ha ha ha Thanks!! I'll have to...- AKNick

Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread
I can't say that I have run into that. Wintertime I'm usually flying electric, and to be honest a lot of foam. I did a test with a radio mitt. With and without. Without I lasted about 4 min. With it lasted the whole 7-8min flight and was feeling pretty good. I didn't have much insulation in...- AKNick

Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread
Excellent question. It loves crankshafts.... elevator not so much! The tail was CA'd in place... so it was bound to happen. Tri-Stock on both sides as of today. I will cover it back up later.- AKNick

Sport Restoring A Different Laser
Picture worthy for sure! What a beaut! Sounds like the builder went was meticulous, show quality and a flier. Why the change from the DLE61 to the 3W55? Which MKS servos?- AKNick

The 120" TBM looks like FUN... except for transporting. I have a MMW Beaver kit!!! I have not started to build it, as my Otter is still in the build stage.- AKNick

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Thanks Guys! I'm absolutely fond of her! I would say the 84" TBM and the 110" Timber are in a different class due to size, weight, and powerplants. The TBM is purposely built electric thus it is light. It has fiberglass struts, superb quality control and engineering. They are planning on making...- AKNick

Had a little helper (not much help if any) in the shop. More like a supervisor. I think she said it isn’t airworthy yet. So back at it another evening.- AKNick

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Busted out some skis I made years ago for a plane that is no longer with me. Got me thinking! My 84” TBM could use them. My original design uses some car shocks (TMAXX) and I just finished printing some holders to mount to the gear legs. I’ll have to fit and secure everything now. The green...- AKNick

H9 15cc Carbon Cub
I have the servos from my Carbon Cub if your interested. The guy that purchased my plane wanted to go another route. Not sure what radio system you are using or power source.- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
PMT replied to my question. Their reasoning is they cannot provide proof of delivery which is a pre-requisite for selling their item tax free. They did say that within a few months they are going to sell them on Amazon. Which is very intriguing... 8" AirTops are $90/set 8.75" PRs were $125/set...- AKNick

H9 15cc Carbon Cub
Those HS-311 are not suited for gas engine vibrations. I looked them up, they are analog, nylon bushing, 3-pole ferrite, with 50oz/in at best torque with resin gears... they will eat themselves. Get some standard metal gear servos closer to 80oz/in. As far as the pulse port, I’m not sure what...- AKNick
