    Did you invite a friend today?

    If you had $1000.00 to spend on a charger and power supply, what would you buy?

    I use a 20 amp 12v Pyramid power supply and a Hitec X4-80 charger. I don't have any really big batteries either but being able to charge 4 at once is nice! Not much of a Hitec fan but I really like that charger, it's pretty inexpensive as well.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Had an awesome day flying today! My buddy is getting up there in age (84 in a couple weeks) and has given all of his giant scale planes away over the last year. They are all scratch built giant scale, scale type airplanes. I'm lucky enough to have been given a 1/3rd scale Balsa USA cub by...

    250 FPV Racer

    Sooo.... I've been itching to do a FPV 250 quad.. It will more than likely be strictly for messing around and flying for fun, I probably won't get into racing with it. (I said probably! )There are a ton of RTF available now but I'm wanting to piece one together picking my own components. I've...

    Two Receivers with One JR 9503???

    Since you mentioned redundancy, here's a drawing I did a while back trying to explain to people how dual satellite recievers weren't as good as dual receivers.. Throughout the years my setup evolved, eventually settling on setup 5 as the best possible solution I could come up with. It has the...

    Two Receivers with One JR 9503???

    I always bound them both at the same time, I think I did try them one at a time once and couldn't get it to work but I can't remember exactly. I had several planes with dual DSM2/DSMX receivers though. Now I run just a single power safe.

    Help - Need name of manufacturer

    I know this one.... I think it's an SD Models also known as Avaition Models. Older but flew awesome, never had one but have had plenty of friends that did at the field. They ended up as Thunder Tiger models before Ace bought the line and discontinued it.

    Are you going to register with the FAA? Cast Your Vote!

    I will register (on the 29th day to save my 5 bucks) not because I agree with it but because I don't have $27,500 to make a point. I don't for one second think the registration will stay $5, I also don't think it will stay the pilot and not the aircraft, it's only a matter of time. Next we'll...

    FAA Announces their rules for radio controlled aircraft

    I think it's free in the first 30 days and then $5 after that.

    FAA Announces their rules for radio controlled aircraft

    Just another way for them to make money, $5 this year $10 the next $20 the year after that. It's also another database the government has with my name, address and email... oh wait I got the letter in the mail the other day that all my personal info had already been stolen so I guess who cares...
