A few years ago my grandparents gave me this really cool set of woodcarving tools. They belonged to my grandfather who used them for, well, wood carving! I’ve seen some of his carvings and they are incredible. One carving that I remember well was a wooden ball that rolled around in a little wooden […]
; So sitting in my attic for the past ~8 years or so is a .40 sized RC trainer plane. It has been flown like only once about 8 years ago. I haven’t attempted to fly it because I really don’t the the right size of field at my house, but since I learned that […]
I was working on a project the other day, and while trying to make a hole just a little bit bigger, one of my most used tools broke on me! My Harbor Freight Circuit Board Reamer handle broke in half. Now you’re probably thinking something along the lines of, “Well you must’ve really been using […]
I’ve been working on my balsa airplane and I’m almost finished! I still have quite a bit of ‘finishing touches’ to do, but I’m getting pretty close to flying it. One thing I built for the plane was a steerable tail-wheel. The steerable tail-wheel was easier than I thought it’d be, and I think it […]
So I was going to show y’all something I built this week and show y’all how to make one yourself, but I went to the hobby shop this afternoon and got side tracked by some of the goodies I bought. Today I got in the mail my first covering iron – a Coverite 21st Century […]
I was able to find time this week to perfect my ping pong launcher a bit more. I updated the launching wheel, motor mount, I built a ‘ball limiter’, and I found a hopper to use. It’s still needs more work, but it’s a start. The old motor mount was big and bulky. Although […]
On my Minnie Mambo build thread over on RCGroups.com, we were discussing what kind of battery that should go into the plane to power the receiver and servos. A normal sized flight pack is way too heavy for this size of plane, so one guy suggested using a BEC and a 2s Lipo battery. […]
For Christmas I got a box of balsa and I am currently in the process of building an airplane with it. I started building the airplane about a week ago and I have got quite a bit of work done on it. This is my very first balsa scratchbuilt airplane and I am learning a […]
For Christmas my siblings and I got a ping pong table. Now we don’t have it setup as a ping pong table, instead we have the playing surface resting on the kitchen table. This kind of turns our kitchen into a rec-room :P. Most people when they get a ping pong table might think “Awesome! […]
First off. . . Merry Christmas! I have been pretty busy this week doing stuff with my family and working on a really big project. This special project isn’t finished yet, but it’s going to be awesome when it is. I am making a step by step Instructable for it so you will […]
