Way more organized than my working space! You mentioned a twin, my latest project was a F82 profile twin similar to 2 mustangs tie together. started with 2 2822-11kv motors but not enough zip to be impressive. Changed to 2826 -2200Kv and plenty of zip but ruined a battery 2200mh- 35 with each flight. Did a current check and pulling more than 50 amps. Took 6 hrs to program differential thrust ,some how sw a got set! Flys good but did manage to stall it turning in windy condition.
Thanks for the tour ED. Nice place to hang out. I wish I had a nice place like that. I go from the work bench to my bed. Then up out of bed straight to my workbench. Walls are covered with planes, and with my T45 90 mm EDF, Skywalker LRS plane, and MFD AAT on tripod in the middle of the room, I barely have room to walk out the door. Thanks for the tour. My tour would only last 2 minutes if even that. Keep up the great videos.
YES! Agreed with Andrew! my work bench needs to be efficient, so I cant go so spread out! lol but thanks Ed! it realy gives ideas on how to improve my organization! lol PS: See you at FliteFest 2016! Cheers! Ed
Thank you so much for all your videos. Congrats on your new location, I too have retired and moved closer to fam.. I have a large Gemini V2 under construction that I hope to use for Ag. mapping, so much for retirement. I just completed building my batteries for that that I thought you might find interesting. Each contains 60 Panasonic 18650 GA batteries in 3 cells that give me 12.87 V and approx. 70 amps that equate to about 4 hrs. flight time. I found the best price and service for these out of the Netherlands. For 125 Bats. delivered to Canada, taxes, freight and duties the bill was less than 500 Canadian Peso's. The last video notification I had from you was you Tat. removal, I hope all is well with you and yours, Billy in B.C., Canada
Nice shop Ed! I've really been enjoying your channel. Just built my first EA plane (photon) and it was awesome. I'm looking forward to building another EA plane (thinking the Ansley) and using some of your techniques on my own builds. Thanks for all of the great content and see you at Flite Test!!
Explain why you are in Richmond and not your home in Az. FlightFest 2016 must be in Richmond VA this year. Florida has much better weather. Try April, about the same time as Sun-N-Fun in Lakeland for the EAA. There is a Sailplane competition near Clermont that month too. Florida has some of the best flying weather.
Wow...great workshop.A couple of additions I'd make.That line of loose lipo batteries scares the hell out of me.Get a substantial metal tool box to store your batteries in.Also get a 10" x 15" Pyrex baking dish.You can put your batteries in the dish as they charge.A fire in the Pyrex baking dish is easier to deal with.Or use charging bags.I'd do the charging out on your main bench, rather than on the shelf.Flames won't reach the ceiling, but they will reach the bottom surface of the next shelf up.Since there are lipo batteries in the room, it goes without saying that a handy fire extinguisher is a must have.
Cool....I didn't know you lived in Richmond, VA. I am in Suffolk, VA. Great workshop. I am just getting started. Be watching a lot of Flite test Video and have several of their kits that I have assembled. And if it ever stop raining around here I hope to get to fly them soon.
Thank you Ed for showing & sharing your work shop space . I showed this video to my wife to prove I am not the only one with a man crave full of parts and projects. LOL Keep the video's coming! Cheers from Alberta Canada
Thanks for sharing. Always cool to see how others do things. Certain things one sees are aha moments where you say to yourself, "that's handy. I wanna do that". Hello from Roanoke on the other side of VA. I visit Richmond at least every quarter for work meetings etc.
Ed, I sent you and email last week. not sure if you got it or not. It was regarding CF rods for landing gear. If you didn't get it, can I send it to you again? Thanks in advance, Robert
Well I made it all the way to the end and I wish I lived a little bit closer so that I could spend a little time with you in your shop. also wish I could make it to flight fest. So until then keep on keeping on. Nice truck btw and very nice view!!
Thanks for the tour Ed! Always interesting to see how fellow RC Guys handle their collections of stuff! I am with you on the not much happening with all the rain we have had this spring, The weatherman said we have had 17 days of consecutive rain so far this month!
Looks like your getting your new place under control, thanks for the tour Ed. Looking forward to some new planes and videos. We've had months of daily high winds here so haven't done any flying, just slowly collecting bits and pieces to build a plane I've got going together in my head. Thanks for all the great work you've done for the RC community my friend.
"Looking at a man's work area is like getting to know a little about his soul"
-I just made that up, but it applies
Thanks Ed, fascinating.
+Andrew Newton I agree, I really enjoy videos like this. In fact, I'd like to see your shop as well, Sir Andrew :)
+SnapPunch Robert Lord Robert, I could only show my shed as an example of disorganised mess.
Lolz!
I think you should make a video. If you make one I'll make one also!
I learned from your video that an old cookie sheet in my kitchen just got a new life as a soldering base. another why didn't I think of that moment.
Awesome seems to be like mine but a little bit more organizade. Congrats!!!!
My women would say its a shed full of junk, but to me its pure gold. Thanks for showing........now I'm jealous.
She just doesn't know what she is looking at.

Nice video! Finished my WTF Plane and publishing an article on FT :).
Clearly very proud of your "kitchen drawer". And, rightly so!!! Hugely inspirational. Big thumbs up and thanks from Johannesburg, SA.

Thanks Ed. I need to reset my study/workshop/cave. I will be stealing some of your organizational ideas.

Keep the video's coming!

Awesome, organised, methodical and precise. Your work shed is just like your planes! Just gave me workshop goals.
Looks just like north Phx to me! Good to see your new space. Thanks for sharing.
Your better organized than me, I just might do a video, you will get a good laugh, Nice Job
Thanks for sharing. Always cool to see how others do things. Certain things one sees are aha moments where you say to yourself, "that's handy. I wanna do that". Hello from Roanoke on the other side of VA. I visit Richmond at least every quarter for work meetings etc.
Excruciatingly boring yet I still loved every minute of it! Keep the videos soming! See you at Flite Fest, Ed.
Ed, I sent you and email last week. not sure if you got it or not. It was regarding CF rods for landing gear. If you didn't get it, can I send it to you again?
Thanks in advance,

Just subscribed to your channel and I love shop tours, so I think it's a great start! Thank you for sharing!
Believe or not, is my dream to have one workshop like you. I enjoy a lot watching your videos. Thanks.
Well I made it all the way to the end and I wish I lived a little bit closer so that I could spend a little time with you in your shop. also wish I could make it to flight fest. So until then keep on keeping on. Nice truck btw and very nice view!!
Awesome workshop Ed! it's way better than my kitchen! lol
Awesome worksop Ed, I wish I had a place to sprawl out into like that!
Ed I wish you lived next to me, I would love to hang out with you in that awesome rc mancave.
Thanks, this motivates me to organize my work areas and storage spaces better.
How do you keep the kids out of there? Give Lex 5 min and he would be pouring that toluene on a pile of razor blades.
I do admit you're a lot more organized than I'll ever be, hope you have a great time at FF.
I wonder if you can conduct an experiment comparing the strength of balsa wing and foam board wing in terms to strength to weight ratio.
Always Enjoy the vids Ed,Thanks friend
Thanks, nice to see other ways to organise things. Also got some useful info on where to buy tape.
Held my attention right to the end ... looking forward to seeing that Tundra in Ohio!
dude that is a sweet room , hope to have mine look like that one day
Mine is too messy, no video right now. I thought I was the only sick one, you seem to also be sick.
Love the workshop. Brought some great ideas for me to try. See you at Flite Fest.
Ed please try to get FliteFest to Florida I would love to be able to participate in one
Thanks to let us looking in to you (interesting) man-cave ;o)
nice to see how other people have their stuff laid out, and what can be done in my own work area.
Very neat, mine would have to air on that hoarders show. :)
As always Ed nice job. Always enjoy your videos.
first
thank you. Nice T-shirt. I have the exact same one.
Oh my gosh. You have to see our workshop XD.
Thanks for the tour inspired me to be a bit better organized
Awesome tour, I really enjoyed it Ed.
Very interesting Ed, thank you.
Thanks for the tour, N4KBM

Wish I had that space... Nice tour
Thanks, you have some cool stuff!
Please keep making new plane ideas there awesome!
Love the your shop...keep up the great work!
Thanks for the tour Ed! Always interesting to see how fellow RC Guys handle their collections of stuff! I am with you on the not much happening with all the rain we have had this spring, The weatherman said we have had 17 days of consecutive rain so far this month!
cool video Ed. i watch them all.
Looks like your getting your new place under control, thanks for the tour Ed. Looking forward to some new planes and videos.
We've had months of daily high winds here so haven't done any flying, just slowly collecting bits and pieces to build a plane I've got going together in my head.
Thanks for all the great work you've done for the RC community my friend.
What's up with that pylon racer
Good stuff Ed. See you at FF16.
what are those plastic drawers called
Good video, Ed. A shop tour gives a real insight into a person's approach to creating/working on projects.
Can't wait to meet you at FF16!
btw. .. nice new channel logo
I love these kind of videos!
Where did you get those carbon fiber tubes?
Radicalrc.com
We miss you!
Your really awsome
Love it Ed! You have taught me so much!
Thanks Ed
