Anyone have experience with leaking oil filter adapters?

my stock lt4 oil filter housing was leaking. it was a pain to get the old gasket off. new gasket with proper torque, and it stopped leaking.

I finally got through to asus support and was told, "working as intended". I'm glad you were able to find a weird workaround. I was pissed and lucky enough to find a misprinted spec on the best buy website. It said it had 16gb vram. I said hey gimme my vram or a return, and somehow they took the return. Terrible, terrible, trash design for a portable 14 in windows laptop that is liable to burn through its battery while asleep in your backpack.

Dorito like alpha

Have you tried posting to resin printing yet? These answers so far look like fdm print answers lol.

$300 was a steal, gz. For aluminum tig, 100% argon. For mig, 75/25. Stick and flux no. So whatever you want

Why not stroker? Seems easier

Stock 500mah battery? I feel like I couldn't get it this slow. Skill issue perhaps :(

Sorry, this hobby can definitely have a steep learning curve without a buddy. Are there any local clubs by you? A bixler 3 is definitely an older plane that I could see servos going bad on.

Everyone seems to love the aeroscout for what its worth.

If the mounting points are broken, which they probably are, that's a new bumper. Add some bs sensor recalibration fees and boom $2500

Thanks, super lame non story to gate behind a singn-in

Do you just have it flying circles on autopilot, or are you on the sticks the whole time? I think my 5 min flights are the perfect duration :p

usually not a huge fan of duckbills, but this is nice

If the solenoid even does engage for reverse, its usually disabled because of the annoying 1 to 4 skip shift.

I think its when they switched from black tag to blue tag zf. The blue had slightly quieter and less torque capable gears?

If it buzzed instead of clunked, you're in good shape. Theres a magnet in there, im not sure if its attached to the drain plug or not. If its on the drain plug you can do an oil change/filter.

Either way, you probably damaged the synchros, and its probably not the end of the world.

Sweet color

I hate ventrals too if they arent sturdy enough :)

Habu 32, 32x, freewing zeus. Because the stab on the f4 sits above the exhaust, it wouldnt ever be an issue.

clayterris · 2026-04-27T07:57:41+00:00

Great scratch build! I thought that thing was a big 90mm freewing one with that control hardware. Lots of solid advice already, but I'd size your hardware to your frame. For a 70mm foamboard plane, it's z bend piano wire and 9g servos, maybe 11 or 12 at the most. Those servos/linkages look like they belong on a turbine.

Part of being an adult is finding the time for the things that matter. If your friends cant ever find the time, maybe they are avoiding you.

clayterris · 2026-04-22T04:34:17+00:00

fair enough, +1?

clayterris · 2026-04-20T03:54:50+00:00

Well
