I have no brand loyalty anymore. And for me that's a big thing since I've had LOTS of cars. I bought, fixed, drove and sold (in today's slang, flipped) Camaros, Chevelles, Novas, Corvettes and many Chevy trucks and others for many years. I owned more than 25 cars before I was 25 years old. I've owned a total of 57. The vast majority were GM products, mostly Chevrolets, but I have owned a few Fords and one Jeep. Nowdays I just don't care. Too old and crabby I guess.:)

I'm a Toyota diehard but having a good bud who is a Toyota master tech has me leery of any 2018 model or newer....

In other news, I won a Pulse 25E in a raffle this weekend!!! Our club held a raffle for NMAD on Saturday and this was the grand prize. I always being skeptical about raffles had pretty much resorted myself to coming home empty handed when they called my numbers :oblong::oblong: :D

It's got a Himax HC-4220-770 spinning a Falcon 13x6.5 Beechwood propeller. I have a Castle Creations Edge 50 HV that'll go in it, and the plan is to fly it on HS-5245MG servos. ThunderPower 4s 3300 for power.

Just a quick question does a 120 cc size aircraft fit in Honda Pilot or a Toyota Highlander.if someone has a picture that would be helpful, thanks

Finished helping my buddy set up his AR12310T Rx in his used but new to him 3DHS 105" Edge 540 w a DA120. I almost forgot just how powerful that DA is until he started it:eek: and had the throttle servo reversed . Glad he was lightening fast on the kill switch :yesss:.

We going to go fly it tomorrow afternoon :fist_pump:.

It fits in his Chevy Equinox with the stabs removed so I would strongly think it would fit the Toyota and Honda.

Thanks for that. Still looking for a new vehicle and I was thinking of getting rid of my planes above 120 size and then I do not have to buy another mini van and get something like a Honda Pilot.

Had a few minutes last night, so I decided it was time for my first engine start with the Python. Buttoned everything up, drug it outside and tied the tail to a nearby fence post. Happy to report the DA started easily and purrs like a kitten. Tune is close, so a small tweak will be necessary. Was getting dark, so I didn’t fool with it last night. Back in the shop, spent a few minutes with the Wash Wax. Nice and shiny! Still need to finish the programming and setting control throws. Getting closer...

Been messing with the Multiplex Mentor a lot lately. My girlfriend is wanting to fly bigger airplanes now and the Mentor is a perfect step up from her UMX Timber. So I put a SAFE receiver in the Mentor :oblong: Backdoor programming of the AR636A receiver has been a fun learning experience and I think I got the airplane just about dialed in, I hope :confused:
