    No kidding. Bet it was an $80.00 flight. Glow fuel price being what it is.

    Question? Hitec servo compare- mini vs micro

    Along those two situations, my friend had a DA 170 lose a throttle arm without any spring tension. His throttle just stayed open at just above idle. Well, maybe closer to 1/4. Anyway, when it came off, had he had the spring attached and the throttle went full closed it would have been certain...

    All 12 still running upon landing, taxi in and shut down... that in itself is a mysterious marvel. Crazy cool.

    So how about this one fellas? It's a boat, no its plane...No...It's a flying ship. This has got to be just about the coolest rc plane/boat I have ever seen.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    So, not here yet... but the 170 cs should be here Monday or Tuesday. Oh my gosh I can hardly wait. It has been so long since a new Red Head came to live with me. I also ordered a new clear fuel tank, shinny new 5" spinner and fuel dot for Marie. Oh and a new beach wood prop for the little Blue...

    It's crazy huh? I mean, the things that will get a mans heart rate up. Fast muscle cars, lots of Apple Pie, the sound of a Rolls Royce Merlin speeding by in a loud loooooooow pass, Multiple gorgeous Red Heads and "Stangs". Ah Yeah!

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I was kind of thinking that too Doug. But then, I am always open to new ideas and suggestions. I try to take care of my stuff but sometimes new information can be useful.

    Wanted 5" Spinner

    I really hate selling things and realizing after the fact that I should never have sold those things. I find myself in the need of a 5" spinner. Preferably P51 style and also with an aluminum back plate undrilled. The intent is to put it on my H-9 Mustang. If someone has one they would come off...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    OH you know I would. Thankfully, I know they are true and have never, "NEVER" had a prop strike with any of them. I think my two oldest Falcons are the 32x10 on the 157cs and the 32x11 on the 170. The 32x10 is 6 and the 32x11 is 4 years old. Which brings up a question I have been pondering for...

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

    No kidding right? And I swore "not long ago" I would never fly anything smaller than an 80" wingspan plane. Marie? Heh heh....she isn't even that. LOL. Oh well, it is a Mustang. That is all that matters. Dude, remember the HS5645MG's? Now they were the "schnizzle" not long ago. LOL

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

    So keeping in rhythm with the "Awesome Video" thread, I started working on my H-9 Marie Mustang tonight. Since the DLE 35RA is still mounted and has been test run a couple of weeks ago, about all I need to do is start putting servos back in the plane and get everything set up. I...

    Awesome Video Thread

    OMG! Yes, YEs....YES! I have looked at many schemes over the last few weeks. And I am still leaning really hard to one specific scheme. I can't tell why I like it so much. I mean, it is just another "Stang" right? But Ferocious Franky has always been a favorite. Maybe it was because the pilot of...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    As you know, Falcons are pre-balanced before shipping. And I must say, they are pretty darned close. I have yet to have to change a single one. I sometimes worry about the really big props. Like the 33x11W on my 212 and the 32" props on my bigger dub engines. But so far, every one of them have...

    Sport 50CC AMR STICK THREAD

    Have you tried just tacking around the entire structure then using your heat gun and a rub cloth to take out wrinkles? I've found that works super well.

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    That's for sure. But it wouldn't do any good this weekend to be prepared. Just not feeling the desire to fly. I'm enjoying a much needed weekend off from work. Heck, I even had me a nice lil nappy nap. Lol

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I really should take more time to balance my props. But since I started running Falcon, I just dont fo it. Falcon props are so close I doubt I could improve on them. Guess it would come in handy now that I one again have some woodies on the "Stangs".

    Another from my son. Yup, gotta admit it's true fellas.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    My friend has one of those balancers. Honestly, I've yet to see him use it. I really think a guy should use the things he has. Otherwise he just needs to give it to someone that "WILL" put it to good use. Maybe my friend will give me his?? Lol

    Question? Hitec servo compare- mini vs micro

    Hmm, I guess I never considered using an amp meter. That would tell everything wouldn't it? I must admit, I am surprised there is nearly no amp draw when spring tension is increased to its maximum.
