    Surviving Joe Nall 2015

    Unless they change it this year, one flight station is for the pond, but only four planes can be up at one time: the pond flier can take off from one of teh four regular stations, then walk over to the pond once the plane is up.

    It looks more and more that the 10% rule is a legend: 1- I have never seen a tape measure at any contest, and I don't know anyone who has seen any plane measured, 2- The "Scale" aspect of the rules is probably the biggest joke: there is no way to measure the scale appearance. All it takes is...

    No cheaper, but lighter. The 50cc Extra is one piece. On the other hand, it is cheaper to replace: you can replace the canopy alone, whereas the one piece is like replacing the canopy and hatch all in one.

    Every bit as smooth, crazy power, and insanely fast. All others have had a hint pf play when new. These have zero play, and are supposed to wear-in (as opposed to wear out...)

    For fuel dot, I use McFueler: these are my favorites. they look scale, and inner bit swivels freely when you turn the cap, so the tubing doesn't twist.

    That is correct! No time line until we get testing done and we are satisfied with he performance. When we hit it the first time, it takes only one prototype (like the Extras). Some are more difficult to refine until we are satisfied (like the Sukhoi which took 6 prototype versions).

    3DHS and ExtremeFlightRC to merge?

    This has been a very friendly place .....so far. Two things known to ruin a friendly jovial atmosphere: religion and politics.... How did it go from 3DHS and Extreme Flight to this! :(

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

    I flew mine up until I left Hawaii - I sold it before leaving. I enjoyed flying it. If this is Terry's raffle prize won at Wenatchee, it was the ARC version, 85" wing span. Mine was the ARF version II, 87" wing span.

    As Terry mentioned, this plane was rushed (per request:big-grin: ) so we would get the prototype quickly. The paint color match on the cowl is not good enough, so I drive 5 hours round trip today to bring the cowl and canopy to a frinds who is going to touch it up. Thank you Pedro!!! Prior to...

    As soon as Terry and I started discussing this project, I got very excited. Something completely different! It is not just different: it looks Bad A** as hell, and we want it to fly wicked. Certain flight characteristics can only be achieved on so called "scale" planes if one departs from the...
