Finally got around to making a storage \ transport rack. Now I can take more planes to the field.

Looks totally scale LS!

Another slow flyby.

On to the graphics,, I'm rolling with the retro Delta Widget livery.
It will be a hybrid of the pictured Delta 737-800 "what if" livery very similar to what Delta ran on their 737-200's and the magnificent scheme on 727-200.

Great choice!

[Desolation Angels]

Looking forward to it Waco!

Desolation Angels have fun with it. They are great flying planes. I put 4 on mine last weekend.

My AL37 just arrived.
OMG this thing is a monster!
Considering that my den and dining / build room already look like the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, I'm in trouble when the misses gets home...
It's ok honey, we're going shopping this weekend for a larger home but I have 30 days to get this bird operational before the warranty expires.

3/4” PVC with foam pipe insulation. They work great at the field, just flip the plane over for attaching the wings. Build the cradle tall enough so you can lower the gear in the cradle.
These are approx 30” long the one for my AL37 is a bit longer.

I am fixing to maiden my al37 and I see all of the videos showing battery strapped down about middle of a admiral 5100 carbon pack and battery strap at the rear of the battery plate, when I put at that location, she seem really nose heavy .to make her balance slightly nose heavy. I have hang 3/4 of the battery off the rear of the battery plate, is the plane suppose to fly nose heavy?

How are you holding the plane to balance it? Are you doing it right side up or upside down? It is not accurate or easy to do it right side up. This plane should be held upside down.

I got a cheap keyboard stand and 3DP'd an attachment for it, which is wrapped in foam. It gives a nice amount of clearance when assembling at the field.



Also, wow, can you believe this thing is almost a year old already?!?

I have thrown out so much foam packaging since I started back into this hobby. It's nice to be able to use a little of it in a practical way.
Cut out another piece to act as a base to elevate the holding part - glued with foam glue.

I made a PVC cradle to transport and assemble at the field. I will take a pic tomorrow and post. It also works with my A-10.

I made a stand out of the box it came in. Using a HOT hacksaw blade, I cut two sections of the box that the fuse lays in. It's the exact shape of the fuse.

Wow that’s a really good idea!

[xviper]

Just about have mine finished up! Does anyone have a good method for getting this assembled at the field? It seems really awkward trying to plug in the wings, extend the gear, reattach the wings, etc.

I haven’t read this thread much so go easy on me. Thanks my dudes
