    Cheap alternative for "snakeskin" wire loom found!

    I love Pink.... every shade. (Oh what are you a sissy?!?!) 1) If you are over the age of 6 no color should make you uncomfortable, grow up be a man! 2) The most fun I have had in life involve pink parts!

    Contest time! "Smoke'em if Ya Got'em!"

    If the consensus of the site needs a little more time I could extend the contest by a week or so... would that help some people?

    Wanted DEAD or ALIVE....

    Best part of this..... 6 - 8 week turn around for repair. AND I tried to fix it myself.... bad... they GLUED the antenna in. So instead of just popping off the "designed to quiet easily be removed" antenna and replace it with a few spares I always keep on hand, I HAVE to send it in. This glue...

    Cheap alternative for "snakeskin" wire loom found!

    That stuff really does not offer abrasion resistance though. I get this stuff for my AV rigs... Can hardly cut it with a knife... protects besides just looking good: McMaster Carr

    sloping viewed from the sailplane

    Man, since there is no prop ruining the video footage with vibrations and artifacts, that really looks like a real plane. Cool video! And the landing.... we all do it. Did it buff out?

    Contest time! "Smoke'em if Ya Got'em!"

    Never said it had to be a hover! I said warbird, 3D plane, JET - anything that smokes. A full blown smoke out hover style = COOL, a GIANT ballistic jet pass with full bore pumpers blazing away leaving a HUGE trail of white billowy smoke = AWESOME! A dog fight with a HIT and smoke on to a "fake"...

    Lesson #1 from Bart, OPP

    Man, when I had "wild eyes" and used to buy ANYTHING that was cheap and big at swap shops the HORRORS I would find at home. 3 layer think ply fuse sides, 2x4" landing gear plates. My REAL first gasser was a home built plane with a G62 on it. It had a 72"wingspan and weighed like 32 lbs. Never...

    OMP 70" Fusion has ARRIVED!

    Question, have you flown one? Probably the truest flying profile plane out there. You can actually practice IMAC and Pattern with this plane. So the "look" is only 1/100th of the equation. Great flying plane...

    Byron's Origional Airshow Memories!

    @Bartman I think the airshows stopped because one of the full scale "tora tora tora" pilots crashed and that ended it all. Not sure why the Byron linage stopped. Anyone?
