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

    Sniff So blenderm??? Also stripped a rudder servo... high speed knife edge over asphalt did not fair too well. Need to work on my piloting skilz After lots of very hard research, I decided the old faithful 74” edge 540T from extreme flight will be my replacement airframe for my 71” slick...

    Install a Smoke System

    I'm debating whether to dust off my TME smoke pump, or just buy a Power Box Smoke pump. Anyone have issues with the TME's?? I like the idea of no check valve with the powerbox.

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

    Basically yes. I bent my resistor end up towards the opening and positive contact with the little spring. It touches the opposite side of the boot. Pretty much... I would take a good reference from another cap to get the idea. The overall method seems primitive Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    Flew the Laser a couple times yesterday after finally figuring out how to re tune the needles properly. Two 13min flights drew 656mAh with a 5 min warm up. Engine still sounds a little funny in a left wing down knife edge, seriously considering buying a fancy carb plate, or even opening up the...

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

    I replaced the boot on my DLE35RA. Basically cut the heat shrink, the shell is in two pieces with little metal tabs bent over to hold them together, there is a little crimped band under the heat shrink that is easy to manipulate off, then everything falls apart. I was surprised to see that the...

    Let’s Talk Fuel Lines!

    The Sullivan S216 claims it it Fluoroelastomer, guess what Viton line is... Fluoroelastomer! It might be altered a bit, but I'm guessing it's Fluorelastomer died yellow with their chosen ID/OD.

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    No Idea how to make tires! Never heard of a Pakistan MFI-17 Super Mushchack! What a neat plane! Side by Side trainer that is aerobatic apparently, kinda reminds me of a zenith 750 but with a bubble window. And it looks like there is a tailwheel too by the way... (tail skid wheel). At 46% you do...

    Question? Which brand LiPo battery to buy?

    Never heard of Revolectrix, did some digging, they seem legit! Might be worth a try based on the reviews I found and the price. http://www.store.revolectrix.com/Products/Blend420-SILVER-Label-70C-GOPACKS?range=21%2C40%2C43 Do you get them from their site or somewhere else?

    Question? Which brand LiPo battery to buy?

    I've had little experience with them, think I've only owned a couple and they were fine. The question boils down to application prior to brand selection. I love the nano-techs for my foamies - they have always been flawless and cheap for me. Pulse are my go to for a reputable brand that seems to...

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

    So there is a screw that holds down the ignition lead and thus keeping the ignition box together. The other side however has a barbed clip that disintegrated which is why mine started to split apart. I wrapped some blender tape around it to keep it together. It shall suffice Sent from my...

    Cool The I'm going out flying thread 2017

    Got a flight in on the 60” extra. Brrr it’s cold out today, 38-42F Re set the needles on the laser, the high end hasn’t left the factory setting much, low end needed to be leaned out a bunch. Idle doesn’t seem too smooth, could be because I found an engine mount bolt dancing inside the fuse...
