    ROLLING Chicken Stick

    Last winter, i saw a video of a guy hand starting a like a 285 cc engine. He flips it bare handed many times, steps out of and comes back into camera view. The guy reaches down and grabs the prop and rolls it to the left. Well it sparks and the poor guy runs out of camera view again.

    Looks like it going to be a awesome day, here in the Black Hills. Going to meet some other pilot [other old guys] at Mcdonald's. Then it's off to the field for some heavy duty circle flying. Printed off some of the instructions for different maneuvers they've been posting on here. And practice a...

    Great Planes Ultra Sport 46 [VIDEO]

    Always did enjoy The Ultra Sports. A bit of work in building the kits, but fun. But since this is an Arf, in a reasonable short time it can be in the air. Fairly easy to fly and quite an acrobatic good looking plane. I have a 60 size, originally covered in black with chrome stripes and now it's...

    The weather forecast is for awesome today. Got my radio back from Hobby Services and ready to go. Both my trainees say they can't fly today. I guess i'll have to let some of the other guys find a way to make my heart skip a beat or two.

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    This is my Redwing profile after picking up pieces. Last Thursday I bought a RCexcel optic ignition switch and put in my plane. Friday my plane all of a sudden has a mind of its own. So I lost a nice plane, ignition pack, carb and throttle servo. Yesterday I sent my radio system to Horizon...
