quote: ORIGINAL: J Lachowski Jason, Speaking of Crappola. I was at Solberg AP this evening before the club meeting and wouldn't you know it, just after I put the canopy on your old plane, a bird decided to leave a few small deposits on the wings from above. If I ever buy another plane off of you, I am definitely going to ask for a " No Bird Crappola" guarantee/warranty.<G> Hmmm, must be something with that plane. Although it was my Tx case that was sitting next to my plane that actually got the deposit in Argentina...lol.

quote: ORIGINAL: gaRCfield Well I took my own advice and went for a Whopper Junior either yesterday or the day before. I also got a small fry and a small drink. Now this will show how often I actually eat fast food, but I had forgotten all about Burger King's "new" french fries; they suck! So while the Whopper Junior is the creme de la creme, the class of the dollar menu, I'd take a Mickey D's double burger and their fries over the Whopper Junior and those things they call french fries at Burger King. Yuck[:@] Wow, I forgot all about this post! I just went to Burger King the other day, and the fries were friggin' horrible! I should listen to myself more often. Ok really I wanted to ask about sealing hinge gaps and couldn't find a related thread. Do you guys seal hinge gaps, and if so what do you use to do it?

rcpattern -> RE: Post all your "crappola" here (11/19/2008 4:37 AM)
Yes, unless you are REALLY good with your hinges. Monokote works well as it hides it, but clear tape works well also. There are builders out there that get the gaps tight enough without sealing..I would recommend just doing it though...for clear tape, you want a packing tape, something that really sticks well... Arch

JAS -> RE: Post all your "crappola" here (11/19/2008 5:20 AM)
I'm too lazy...lol. If it's to be done right, it should be monokoted. The problem with tape is the oil gets in the tape glue and then you have a gooey mess. Of course I'm talking about my planes that aren't electric or composite.

You just wonder why you did it [:D] JB

haha I cant stand burger king either. chris Odom

gaRCfield -> RE: Post all your "crappola" here (11/19/2008 8:28 PM)
Has anyone ever been to a Sonic? I didn't think they actually existed until I saw a photo of one on my friend's Facebook page. Is it any good? There are still some Roy Rogers around (on the thruway) and I think they are my favorite - best fries and you can't beat the fixins bar.

cdodom -> RE: Post all your "crappola" here (11/19/2008 8:40 PM)
ya sonic is great. Prob the best place to get you some kind of drink. And there food aint bad either. OMG! why do I know so much about Fast food? lol Chris Odom

Hey I think I came up with a new gluing system and wanted to run it past you guys - tell me what you think: I'm going to take a piece of cereal, dunk it in a bowl of milk, and clamp it between two surfaces to be glued. I figure if I clamp it for 15 minutes and give it, oh I don't know, an hour or so - it should be fully hardened and ready for just about anything you can throw at it. I haven't tried it on a plane yet, but it sure as hell works great on steel and porcelain.

gaRCfield -> RE: Post all your "crappola" here (11/27/2008 6:20 AM)
hmm tough room[8\|] [:D]

dhal22 -> RE: Post all your "crappola" here (11/27/2008 8:23 AM)
i got it. i got it. david

gaRCfield -> RE: Post all your "crappola" here (11/29/2008 8:57 AM)
Anyone know where I can get an RC related hoodie (already have the AMA one)? thanks. hope you guys all had a great holiday!

RC_Pattern_Flyer -> RE: Post all your "crappola" here (11/29/2008 3:06 PM)
Dude, arent you on the 2009 fund raising team, bring it up to Rusty and magical things might happen, or buy the iron on transfer and make one yourself. Desert Aircraft has some nice hoodies with zippes. Chuck

gaRCfield -> RE: Post all your "crappola" here (11/29/2008 4:33 PM)
Definitely going to work on something related to the team, but also need something ASAP. Thanks.

gaRCfield -> RE: Post all your "crappola" here (11/30/2008 11:15 PM)
I just read in the YS manual that the valves are supposed to be adjusted after every 2 hours of flying. Do you guys actually do this? I'm debating getting a YS 110 or sticking with the familiar 120AX.

rcpattern -> RE: Post all your "crappola" here (12/1/2008 1:42 AM)
It is a good idea to check the valves periodically. Rarely do they actually move though. I do it probably once a month on my DZ's...but probably should do it more often. It nothing else it makes a good excuse to pull the cowl or whatever and check things out under the "hood." You can catch loose bolts and such this way long before they create a problem. Arch

jrpav1 -> RE: Post all your "crappola" here (12/1/2008 5:27 PM)
Better to check it and find nothing than NOT check it and have a problem. Think of a YS as a flying Harley (an old one - not an Evo or a Twinkie). If you can keep one of them happy, you'll be fine with a YS. :) So Joe, are you going to the Dark Side now too? Cool. At least I won't be the only one in D1 with an oil dripping vibrator on the nose of my airplane! LOL John Pavlick Team Black Magic, Tech-Aero Designs

gaRCfield -> RE: Post all your "crappola" here (12/1/2008 5:49 PM)
Haha. Quique has videos posted of his 69" Yak with both the 120AX and the YS 110, and the YS is just amazing. If you're interested you can watch here. After watching those videos I have to go with the YS, unless Santa already decided to get me another 120AX[:D]

rcpattern -> RE: Post all your "crappola" here (12/1/2008 6:22 PM)
The torque of the YS is what sets it apart. Top end is probably about equal, but the grunt in the middle is what makes the difference. We don't tend to fly a lot at wide open throttle. Arch

At least I won't be the only one in D1 with an oil dripping vibrator on the nose of my airplane! LOL John Pavlick Team Black Magic, Tech-Aero Designs I've always thought that the two-strokes were a lot messier than my YS's. Last year before the Nats was when I was still flying the OS 1.40 on an Asano pipe and my buddy had a Brio with a 1.60DZ on a Hatori short pipe. It was a dry summer, and we were flying from a newer field that had more dirt than grass. Joey would wipe dry dust off of the bottom of his airplane, and inside his chin cowl, whereas I would be wiping mud off of the bottom of my airplane after every flight. If you get them setup right, you may have a slight bit of fuel spit out of the carb, but even that's preventable with a velocity stack. If one of those motors leaks, then there's something wrong with it. They also don't vibrate that bad if you run the right fuel in it. I've not owned a 1.70, so most of my experience is with the 1.60DZs, the 1.40DZs, Ls, and the FZ series. The 1.60DZ has to be the best engine I have ever owned, and from the 1.70 that I broke in for a friend in an airplane I built for him, it seemed to be a cherry of a motor right out of the box. I'll admit that I'm a moron when it comes to motors, but I had more trouble with the OS's than I have with YS and the YS's have more parts. Not saying that the OS's are junk, I just prefer the YS. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

jrpav1 -> RE: Post all your "crappola" here (12/2/2008 5:34 PM)
Ryan, Yeah that's what I hear (the 1.60 and 1.70 are very reliable compared to the older YS engines) - that's why I'm finally going to try YS power in my new Black Magics. I'm just not ready to go electric yet. :) John Pavlick Team Black Magic, Tech-Aero Designs

Ryan Smith -> RE: Post all your "crappola" here (12/2/2008 10:18 PM)
You and me both!

gaRCfield -> RE: Post all your "crappola" here (12/6/2008 10:42 PM)
What is the difference between Li-po and Li-ion batteries? Central hobbies has both for receivers; which one do I want?
