Decided to keep the ME109 airframe (that was originally a balsa/monocoat gasser) and electrify it! Used a Hobby King G46 (40 sized electric motor). It's a 670kv motor. With a 13" prop on a 5s 2650mah battery it draws 42 amps and makes 800 watts. RTF the model weighs in at 5.1lbs. I found that the Great Planes electric motor mount for medium sized motors worked perfectly. Can't wait to maiden it. Been too windy for my comfort level.

Been focussing all my spare time on my chaos 600 Airwolf build. I know its been done over and over again but, not by me. I've wanted to build one of these ever since I was a kid and saw a very rare (at the time) large scale gas rc Airwolf. This was back in the early '80s. With the cost of large electrics coming down and fuselages readily available and reasonably priced, I finally get to build one!

My first fiberglass EDF plane. The Eflite F86 Sabre. Picked up from RCG classifieds, great deal. Man is this a beauty! After reading over all of the threads i can't wait to fly this thing. But, reading over the instructions this looks like a perfect winter project ( may take me a while to build given the time I have to spare).

Got a smokin deal on this Dynam SBACH 342 from Wingman Jeff. This plane flys like a dream. It seems impossible to crash this plane!

Built another Phase 3 F16. This time I skipped a few speed tricks to lighten the airframe up. Weighs in at 1.9 lbs RTF as apposed to the previous 2.1 lbs.

I recently aquired this gem, donated by Chad of Ludlow Falls Ohio. I saved it from going in the dump. All electronics were fine. The original 12 channel RX was smashed. Don't think I'll need it though. I can get by with my 7 channel, I just won't have the ejecting pilot?, drag chute, or individual controls (elevon mixing). This thing has all the bells and wistles though (scale retracts, nav lighting, thrust vectoring), hope I can get another fuselage and rebuild it.

My Chaos 600e made it here before Christmas. Just in time to be a short winter project. Got it together and have a few hover flights in using a small 6 cell. The correct battery will be here soon....and then I'll get some real flights on it.

This has been done for a while, but finally got around to photographing and posting. Chasis is EXI450 all nitro plane parts with the exception of the tail servo (had to go with a quality high torque servo). Fuselage is a heliartist MD500D. The main rotor head is a CopterX 5 blade with CopterX scale plastic blades. Anyone wanting to build a mutli blade heli, feel free to do it without a 3 axis gyro. i did it and the result is just as good as when I had only 2 blades.

Had a Robbe Mosquito...

For the winter looking to build this plane with a 400 watt setup. Got it used on RCG and had to look around for some missing parts. To be continued...

Specs:
Originally had 70mm 4 cell stock setup somewhere around 500watts

Went to my 70mm HET/Castle setup made about 800-900 watts. 3 Cell though, short flight times.

Now have an eflite 80mm setup from the Habu 32 on 6 cells. Makes about 1700 watts and gets 6 minute + flight times. Speed unknown doppler had a 134mph pass once but I don't know weather to believe it or not. Very forgiving, dependable plane.

Still a work in progress, built from scratch. Why buy it when you can build it?

My planes some old, some gone and some unbreakable..
