    What's Up With 3DHS??

    We get the dregs of the U.S. Order. Basically what ever didn't fit in the containers destined for the USA. There are no manufacturing runs for our order, we just get a list of what is left over and order from that.

    It Can Happen...and It can Happen FAST

    A friend of mine lost his garage, car and most of his rc stuff in a lipo fire. Now I charge on the concrete floor with 1/2 paving bricks between each pack when parallel charging. That way if one pack combusts, it is very hard for the one next to it to become compromised.

    Why do you love this hobby?

    Started with rc cars maybe 7 years ago, and got bored real quick. I then moved onto planes, but once agin got a bit "over it" after a few big crashes in a row. A few years later I got inspired after talking to someone I worked with to get back into it again. Bought a new...

    My wife says.....

    We have an agreement :) As long as the bills get paid on time, all is good. She would rather I go out and fly planes with my mates than go to the pub and drink with them. Hell she even gave me the spare bedroom as an indoor workshop/ plane storage room.

    72" Extra 330SC

    Some updates to my 72" I pulled off an amazing manoeuvre a week or so ago. The full throttle KE landing! Since there are no kits left in Australia, I was forced to rebuild, and so began a huge learning curve in sheeting balsa and covering wings. First up things needed a bit of "forced...

    Also don't forget you can get a lot of information into a jpg... A picture can be a thousand words.

    I hear you NJSwede. I often spend a whole pack in harrier, just dragging the rudder through the grass.
