    Off topic update thread

    Since off topic posts do not show up like the rest of the forum, I started a notification thread here.

    What did you make with your lathe/mill today?

    Not wanting to blow up Steve's lathe thread so started my own. I want to make a die holder for a die that seems to be a size that I have no holder for. I've been using my mini mill to hold the little 2-56 die.

    Epoxy preferences?

    Hysol works better for me in most situations but I need to do some fiberglass work. Zpoxy finishing resin is not available at the moment. It appears. Any preferences out there for building up a fiberglass cloth/ epoxy layup?

    Eflite Eratix

    I suck at having planes rtf. I have dozens upon dozens of planes but only 2-3 rtf. So I bought one. Mike's recommendation btw, thanks Mike. Let's put this together.

    Kavan FK50 Mark I

    Starting a discussion on my Kavan 50. I want to test run it before I totally commit to it to my Cub. It is new but I sent it to Mecoa for inspection and the nylon gear upgrade. I wanted out test run as well but it took 4 months to get it serviced, I didn't think I would ever get it test run...

    Phoenix Models Typhoon

    I need something easy and small to take to the field so I have a couple of these in storage. I will electrify it. The horror!!! I know, a classic pattern fan would never but I'm going to. With my Cub on hold I might as well. A few starter photos.

    Hitec HS-5955TG

    Looking at my servo collection as I build the Cub and I found a HS-5955, plenty of power but rated 4.8 - 6 volt. My batteries are always Fromeco Relions but they are 7.4 volt. New servo or will the 5955 be ok?

    Joe Hunt stopped in.

    Similar to stangflyer last year I saw Joe Hunt over on FG recently and suggested he stop in here and say hi. I see at least one recent post here. Hi Joe!

    Yes/No?

    Apparently my 3W/DA prop drilling guide is NOT for larger engines (DA). Drilled my 31x13 prop for a DA but found out the hard way. Can I do this and redrill? Pumped full of Hysol.

    Extreme Flight fly in

    Decided to spend the weekend at our field. Borrowed my daughter and son in laws travel trailer so sleeping in style. Night flying was fun to watch.

    Scale Mick Reeves 1/3 scale Tiger Moth

    Ordered plans for the plane at the top of my next build list. First concern is lack of engine room. I was hoping for 3 cylinder room (Valach, Roto....) but maybe I can squeeze a twin in.

    Next build discussion

    Thinking Tiger Moth but big. Bob Holman plans (no response from him) are purportedly accurate but not quite big enough. The bigger the 4 cycle engine the better is my preference. Emailed Mick Reeves (purportedly true 1/3 scale) several times but no response either. Any ideas or other planes...

    DA 170 carb issue

    It was found recently that my DA170 carb butterfly will not close completely on one side. Perhaps warped or bent? Anyway, the issue allows the engine to idle too high and I'd rather not sent the engine to DA. Beyond that the engine rips and makes me grin. And the plane the DA is in. Btw...

    Pilot 107" Yak

    Finally flew my Yak. Maiden was fine but 2nd flight was behind some big pines on approach, by the time I realized it I was past the pines. Scary................ Same 3W-106 from my last 2 Yaks, now 15 years old or so.

    Collector's item.

    Clarence Lee is 97, thought it might be a good time to acquire something from him. Apparently I shorted my payment by $9. It makes the letter unique.

    K&B 7.5 ducted fan

    I have several high rpm nitro engines that will probably never run as they're all nib. I got the itch to make some noise so I picked up this used K&B. I'm going to go through it first then make some noise.
