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

    Theoretically build season should be behind us. Found a structural issue with the tailwheel on the Python earlier this week, and decided to give the entire airframe a good inspection. Not that I like to recover things, but here we go again!

    Glad to hear it flies well!! Wish I could help, but never programmed an Eflite ESC. Have several but all I’ve ever done is plug and play.

    NICE!!! That’s one sharp looking model!! Love the paint scheme! If it flies half as good as it looks, you have a winner!

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    Definitely admire the creativity I see here. I’m the lazy guy who has the light controller in Draco which moves with the rotary switch on my transmitter. Has 7 different modes with combinations for all the lights on the aircraft, including the so-called backup light. If you’re interested I’ll...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Great service by DA! Not so much by FedEx. Box left AZ on the 31st and finally arrived today. This is my ”New” DA. Long list of parts replaced including both pistons and all bearings. Not a big 3D pilot, so no real changes from my normal flying style for break-in. Feeling much better now...

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

    Checked the fit of an electric motor inside a Williams Bros. dummy radial engine this afternoon between all the Christmas festivities. Unfortunately, not enough clearance between the crankcase flange and the spinner backplate while providing the motor with enough clearance to rotate. Either an...
