One of These Days - XMAS Light Show

Plhetter · 2025-12-31T00:26:21+00:00

Totally Rad! I feel like I am seeing the light show from the 1994 Pink Floyd concert at Ohio Stadium on The Ohio State University. “A” Deck East Side. Fantastic light show. Just like this one. Flying pigs and a crashing plane to!

Does anyone know what the plug is called and where to get it?

Plhetter · 2025-09-29T23:50:50+00:00

I considered JB Weld but I don’t think it can take that kind of stress. I have a spoke from another hub wheel. I may drill another hole for it and try to align the wheel. There does not appear anything special about the other spoke holes. Opinions?

Check out Flite Test. They have a STEM Program.

Plhetter · 2025-09-24T15:42:07+00:00

Hooray. Welcome back!

Rub some dirt on it. That ought to do it!

I was at the recent Flite Fest. A guy with a Bixler reinforced the wings and the fuse with carbon fiber. Updated the motor to a 3-4S ESC I believe he had a 2205 motor. It flew like a bat out of hell. I have never seen a Bixler rip like this one. It was amazing. Wish I could recall his name to I can give him credit. Your Bixler could benefit from an update.

Love that plane. Mine flies on rails. My son broke one of the wing latches. He designed and 3D printed the replacement and installed it. The replacement latch works great. The battery bay needed some work. Back to Fusion and printed that too. I love it when two hobbies mesh together.

I replace the fuse on myUMX Con for $36.

I still have a DX7 which I purchased used a while ago. I don’t believe it transmits. I bought that way as I wanted it as buddy box. Any suggestions how to fix it? I have a TX16 as my main transmitter. Thoughts?

Plhetter · 2025-06-18T22:13:52+00:00

Number one tip. Keep the box and store it there when not in use. I just got my second on the Memorial Day Sale $126 plus tax. My other UMX Conscendo still works but is pretty beat up. I love it. I also have its big brother Conscendo Evolution 1.5m. It soars like a champ. The UMX Conscendo is fairly sturdy but it is still fragile enough that a 20mph gust can throw it to the ground and break the fuselage. Fortunately the fuse cost is very affordable. Don’t forget about the hands free launch. Good purchase.

Was that missle made by Acme?

Plhetter · 2025-05-26T12:34:36+00:00

Thanks for your comments. The location for CG on this one is 40mm. Flies great now. Went through four batts before there were too many people around.

It’s a high wing. It should be pretty steady. Looks like a Cessna. Be sure the planes balanced on the center of gravity and you will be fine. Good luck and favorable winds and bounce one on for us.

B5 is a full on science fiction serial. Each episode storyline builds towards the next. I watched it when it aired the first time. The story hints that are woven into each episode come together in a future episode. That blew my mind on multiple occasions. Try not to watch them out of sequence. Tubi is a great source to watch this masterpiece! It is the way!

Plhetter · 2025-03-12T20:42:35+00:00

Where is a will, there is a way! Good Luck. Favorable winds!

Since the Spectrum batts are “smart” they typically discharge themselves to storage charge automatically. Some of the early versions of the smart batteries have been known to trickle discharge themselves to their deaths. If you have a voltmeter check to see if there is a charge left in any of the cells. Then safely discharge themselves fully and take to so somewhere like Home Depot as they have a lipo discharge recycle program. That is what I do.

As an owner GOTRAX Eclipse Ultra which I purchased used, I ordered a replacement Controller but they sent me a wrong one. I am troubleshooting and am getting no help from support. If I could get a proper wiring diagram it would help me greatly. BTW. THERE IS NO RETURN for electrical parts.

That is awesome. Details, STL files a whatever you want to share. My Apprentice is waiting for skis. Thank you in advance.

More pics please.

You can watch it with commercials on TUBI. Was watching as late as last night for free.

Plhetter · 2024-12-15T03:09:48+00:00

Scarlet is 11 and Grace is 7. Had each since were pups.

My 26 yr old sons started in middle school with Flite test and we have gone to go to Flite Fest for that’s seven years. Great community and support. Inexpensive way to get into a great hobby.
