The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Designed a tail wheel bracket for my 110” timber... couple little things left and then time to print it. OEM is 1.4” wheel, this would be for a 1.75-2” wheel- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Not sure what size fuel tank to put in here for my 55... I'd imagine a 20 oz would be perfect. Since I cannot find a 20oz tank, I went with a 24oz... Seems way too big to me. Anybody have insight to a DLE55 flight times with a 17 or 24 oz tank?- AKNick

Hard to beat I think. It's stronger than a 35cc, reliable, 100% serviceable if it's a little too worn out, just send it in!- AKNick

GP 76 twin gas engine
I've been looking at this thing for quite some time. I don't like being the test subject on a new product, but now that they've been flying for the whole summer, I've heard nothing but good comments, cannot beat the price with mufflers and the power that comes with it. Someone mentioned that no...- AKNick

Going to use some MPX connectors for the wings. Always takes me a while to figure out where to hardmount them. This seems like the ideal location since the can be plugged in from the top or through the canopy.- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Getting my DLE55RA ready. Installed a bowman ring (Bjorn Baal is he new owner) I got this one from VVRC. OEM ring was .011 gap. Bowman came at 0.001 gap! I prefer a little bit more so I filed it to a .003” gap. It’ll break in and open up a bit more, still way better than the OEM. Gap was...- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
I hear ya. I'm becoming more a fan of equal distance from the pivot points. I have no research. What I do know is that the lower hole is roughly just below 1.5" from the hinge line, and the upper hole is roughly just below 1.75" from the hinge line. So If I use a 2" arm, I'll have the option of...- AKNick

I played with my DLE20 that’s supposed to go in the glitter. Put a bowman ring on. 0.004” Gap wow. Slapped a little VVRC bling on the diaphragm plate. Then check the timing. Stock was 35’ and brought it closer to 30.- AKNick

Glued my wing control horns in. I didn’t bother taping. Fill the slots with epoxy, nice thin coat of epoxy and it does on pretty even and squishes our a bit. Any excess is cleaned up with a towel soaked in isopropyl alcohol.- AKNick

Ran out of servo wire.. Hanson hobbies to the rescue. I have some twisted 20ga enroute. Also, I don’t like the carb arms supplied. Ordered up some extended arms for the DLE55. Along with that, a bowman ring, and a fancy carb plate from VVRC.... shoot maybe I should have just got the DA60 ha ha...- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Prepped the control horns with 100 grit, and wiped with isopropyl, touched the corners with a file. One thing I’ve never understood is why make a beveled control surface with a setup that won’t allow you to hit the stops. This is my newest debacle Long 2” arm on the lower control horn...- AKNick

Solved my engine mount spacer debacle. Had a nice chunk of phenolic that’s just over a 1/4” thick. Perfecto. Found a 7/8” hole saw with a little bit that was drilled out to accommodate the bolts... in which I got some longer ones as well. I now have enough cowl to spinner clearance to make me happy.- AKNick

I measured the cowl on post #33 on page 4. FWIW the VVRC 40cc twin is 8" across cap to cap (angled plugs) and still 7" head to head. The Timber is 8" across at the back of the cowl and tapers forward to about 6.5" in the front. If I do some rude calculations 3" back from the top of the cowl...- AKNick
