    Not sure about you guys, but I think the electricity doesn't even know what just happened.

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

    I'm glad John wrote it. I'm curious about the POT sizes, guessing the mini vs standard servos have different pots, but maybe not... Edit: I've noticed he keeps editing the info. Including my question ha ha. So it's not a quote. But he used the guts of my question.

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

    Wrote John at ProModeler an e-mail about throttle servo choices for gassers and for info about using mini servos last night. Today I get an e-mail of an article he published today answering my question (yes that's my question he posted). WAY COOL!!!!! His explination in detail is too nice not to...

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

    Hmmm, really depends on his budget and what size planes he's into. The DX9 is nice, have several friends using that radio at a good price point too. Futaba is pricing themselves higher than the competitors right now. I would say that in the 9CH range options are limited. They make an 8, 10, 12...

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    Why not grind away the area it's touching and reinforce around that? I don't think the extra prop clearance would be an issue on the Yak cosmetically.

    Awe yeah, paid off. Set the needles where I had had them before the initial rebuild and this puppy purrs like a kitten. Confidence was boosted! My smiling face had returned and was back to normal!

    Got new gaskets from DA, also another gasket kit for the carb, except this time I changed the diaphragm needle as well. Fingers crossed she runs like she used to.

    IMAC Scratch build Laser 200

    Well. Not a bad idea. Imagine they are built flat. One could extend the material at the outskirts of the areas that the stringers attach to. It all boils down to how much time you want to invest in it. I would think lightening holes and beefed up supports would be the way to go. Look at modern...
