    IMAC Written Call Sheets

    I always make sure to tell the pilot cross-box if the exit is cross-box. Helps ease the nerves when you are looking at either the belly or canopy after the rolling manuever :-)

    Don't know about the 5 mph winds, but for temp's, head to the San Diego area :) Lived there for 5 years and you could plan an event 2 years in advance and pretty much guarantee that you would have sunshine and mild temps.

    Have to put screws in if there is no knurling on the inlets. JMB canisters have some awesome knurling that holds them in place.

    Real Flight 8 (RF8)... It's Here!!!

    I received my RF 8 and installed it on Windows 7Pro using Parallels on my MacBook Pro and the install took a long time, mainly due to the settings I have for the VM, but once it was installed it runs just fine :) I am using the Interlink controller. I have also set Parallels to use Coherence...

    Real Flight 8 (RF8)... It's Here!!!

    Going one step further, Vic 20 :) loading from a cassette :) Then off to an Epson with the 8086, 16 bit processor. The list goes on from there :) Wish I had half of the money I spent on trying to make them run better and faster so I could buy more airplane parts today.

    PAU/Dalton 300

    Getting ready to pick one of these Dalton's up and was wondering why this topic stopped? Did you finish the plane? If so, what are your thoughts?

    Real Flight 8 (RF8)... It's Here!!!

    If you are using Parallels, you should be able to get it to run just fine :) I just ordered mine and will be installing it on my MacBook Pro when it gets here. I had 7.5 installed and found that I didn't use it much so took it off. I have Win7 Pro installed via Parallels.

    Question? Which brand LiPo battery to buy?

    If I am buying LiPo's, I will buy Pulse batteries. I have had Turnigy, GensAce, and Zippo batteries and they seem to puff very fast. I only charge at 1C and I am flying mainly IMAC with my 40% planes. I have a 65" Vyper and have had Turnigy batteries for it and decided to spend the cash for the...

    Tru-Turn for sure. I have recently went to a Tru-Turn on my 330LX and won't be going back to CF any time soon. Just like the fact that the TT spins true and looks a lot better. BTW, mine is the black anodized also :-)

    I do believe this plane used to belong to Jason Reddish from Arkansas.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Finally got around to replacing the rudder and elevator halves on the VyperBype. Also, finally found out where the cg was supposed to be and it explained a LOT of how it was flying before. Next flight should be much more fun :-)

    Exactly the kind of people that they were dealing with. It is to bad that a few people will cause good companies to close their doors.

    Joe got tired of dealing with all of the butt heads that wined about everything. Hoping the new vendor is as good as Joe and Nicole were.

    Thank you. Pulling a DA150 off the front. I love the power of my other 180 on my 3DHS 330LX and it is 3.5 lbs heavier than the Carden is.
