Started this project for John Craven tonight!!!
John ordered it all white from Tony at Pilot!. Plan is to put a sweet scheme on this one!
Going with a GP176evo on Hype cans and MTW knuckle headers! Full BLS172 servos throughout. Jeti CB200 with CortexPro Gyro. Telemetry galore.
John Craven and I decided to try some of these “Bad Dog Smoke Nozzles” after reading tons of great reviews on FG.
Some cool design and the nozzle shape is more what you would see in an industrial application... real nozzles
We ordered a pair of 28mm for his GP176 and 2 pair of 25mm for some 120 or 60cc applications!
Here is the For Sale Ad.....

Solstice, That is the name I have decided on for my new plane. I have never done a build thread before so I am open to suggestions and comments.
Just got my first turbine and need a plane to put it in. I resurrected and modified a plane I designed back in the 80's. First thing to do was to sketch up CAD 2D planform.
After calculating the CoG, I put together a model from dollar store foamcore. I could toss this around the back yard and add weights to check CoG.
I like this type of thread which gives other ideas on various schemes added to planes. I will start with a few that will be at the airfield this summer.
Pete :adoration:
Picked this project up. Pretty rough but was advertised as such.
Kids want to get into a scale jet. Whole different ball of wax so figured this would be a good one for them.
Calls for an 60-80N turbine. Will target a 100N install to keep this fun!
I've been mulling over a Fall 2016 project and decided to try building a 35% Badan Yak55 :):):)
I've really, really enjoyed the 60cc Vertigo2M and 180cc Vertigo3M - both to build and also the way they fly. Decided to see if the Yak55 is similar :happy116:
The kit will come with all the formers, foam and sheeting and a sweet set of CF landing gear.

Scheme is unknown at this time.
I decided to pull the trigger on this new beast from Aviation Designs. I was kinda on the fence about the looks until I saw it fly and love the looks in flight. The high speed performance is also insane. I think Peter said he tipped 500km/h with the Behotec 220 and the flight logs I saw with his airspeed telemetry was 486km/h in the heat at Wingham this past weekend.
I have the red/CF scheme coming!!... should arrive tomorrow.
Landing gear will be Behotec Electric gear with the new highspeed wheels.
Power will be a Behotec 220 with Projet Telemetry. Also using the Intarco UAT which is my favorite by a long shot.
Servos will be Futaba BLS172's all around. Twin Futaba 7008 Rx's into a Powerbox Expander and Powerbox iGyro 3e....
No build log/pics on this one as it has been done a few times here already. But, it has a Dle 55 on Dle can, Hitec 7954 all around, 2x2450 2s lipo, B&E graphix package, and waiting for a Falcon 23x8 cf prop.
The graphix pack really makes this thing come alive. Maiden video to come as soon as the snow buggers off.
After over a years wait the ZDZ-140 is finally a reality. It has separate cylinder heads which I believe you can purchase options from ZDZ for more or less compression depending on your application. Cooling fins on the cylinders are quite large so cooling shouldn't be an issue. Utilizes the same Walbro WJ-71 carb as most the rest.
Here is my solution to starting a 100 cc twin without wrecking your right arm and suffering cut hands and fingers and quite possibly an unintentional prostate removal ! It consists of a scrap junk of 3.5 inch exhaust tubing trued up and welded on a lathe, an old 7/16 head stud bolt( with threaded end cut off and smoothed), and a scrap of foam rubber tubing from the bump bar of some scrapped exercise equipment , that I found at our Municipal dumping yard! Makes my cheap azz BH 100 start almost as fast as a shiny DA!Total cost---- Dunno. I quess nothin!
Hi all,
We are embarking on a fun project. This will not be a comparison but a straight up factual test of different brand of servos.
Testing methodology will be posted and identical tests will be performed on all selected a servos. All tests will be on Video and spreadsheet will be provided through Google sheets.
Tests will be limited to HV servos with a giant scale focus.
Torque
Speed
Centering
Hey guys ! Just get my first 60cc aircraft! Im looking to know wich electronic setup to put in it, my radio system is futaba, i already have servos to run on 6v setup.. wich power expender you guys have and wich batteries you run. I want the safest setup and lighter setup ! Thanks !
