At first glance it was funny, but as many in the thread mentioned, somebody could get hurt. It's hard to believe that local standards there would allow this structure to remain standing, regardless...

I really enjoyed seeing the laser and reading these posts. I have a CNC router, and would like to someday mount a laser, if possible.

I agree with all the benefits people have mentioned here; The...

I flew control line .049's back in the early 70's, then bought a Champ on an impulse about two years ago. After 6 flights I could finally keep it in the air, most of the time. I got as much...

Question Battery weight; state of the art?

A question popped into my mind today, and I thought I'd put it to the membership here. I don't see this discussed much, in my limited reading of the forums.

Nice score, firemanbill.

I remember them well. They were clunkers, but they were fun, and more or less state of the RTF art at the time. A home made balsa plane would've flown better, but it was a...

Wow, lively party!

I'd answer your questions first, Flite-Metal, but want to begin by expressing my admiration for what you're doing.

I spotted a nice weedy field on the way home from the doctor's today, and brought the plane there later to test glide it. No wind, about a foot of grassy weeds to cushion the expected crashes.
