I am waiting on where it falls at 29% and compares to the manual setting. I will be more ticked if it turns out to be too far forward and could have used a few less pounds up front, maybe it would...

More ambition than I have, that's for sure. I started separating the half mold from the backing last night, but have to get the grinder out to release the edges around the cowl. Fingers crossed it...

Since my plane is built and in storage, not much I can add, but the Crunch has another one he is about to start, so hoping he posts updates on his build here.

Nope, it's too big to ground handle alone, and the couple times I was out and someone was around, the wind was just not right. This plane is just too big to fly on a calm day on a short field as it...

I relocated my RX. Once I looked at it again today, I can confirm it was a break in transmission between the TX and RX when at a certain angle. There was a lot of metal between both antenna and the...

Reason I got the 168, no joke, I had a DA 100 sitting around on another plane I had no gumption to ever fly. Now that the struts I made will be good, I need to get the fuse in my shop and replace...

Make a carbon fiber spar out of 1/2" CF stock, if you can find a 6' long piece wide enough. It appears that the wing breaks at the first rib, which looked weak to me when I built mine, so I added...

I may consider selling mine. I wont decide until I can get a full flight and use at least a half tank of fuel. If it bores me, I will gut the engine and electronics and list it for sale. I feel the...
