    The 55cc one has been done for a long while and flys great but has been sold. You may be thinking of the 20cc Giles I was working on. It’s mostly done but has also been sold to the same guy that bought the 55cc. Once he finished paying I will ship it all out to him.

    Basically they hold up and they don’t tear apart. Also if you have ever used great planes ca hinges you know that once you insert a hinge like say just test fitting parts that when you pull it back out it gets all fuzzy and becomes really hard to put back in the slot when final install comes...

    Yeah if my club started limiting the size plane we could fly then I would be gone in a heart beat. Only limitation we have is no turbines and that’s because we fly on an Army base.

    All finished up with some nice bright orange duct tape to keep the edges from pulling free. Did I mention how much I love this plane so much so that I haven’t flown anything 3D in like 3 months now.

    Yeah we are kinda shady looking. Longest flight goes to Kyle the guy in the front. He knows what he is doing with these gliders plus he can launch twice as high as he rest of us.

    We are allowed to talk on our phones in va but not texting. I try to avoid talking on the phone as well when I can. Didn’t worry with calling the cops though I prolly should have

    Got another flight on the Blade mcpx bl heli. Fun little joker and tough too. Little chip on the blade after it struck the gravel when I lost orientation. Then on the way home from my parents someone coming the other way was more worried about their phone. This is after I got all the way into...

    Echo 225 is a great trimmer. I bought one seven years ago and it has ran like a champ. I put stabil in all my fuel and at the end of the season I don’t even run the trimmer empty. I just hang on the wall and wait till the next season. Even after sitting it’s just like every other start. Prime...

    Picked up a blade Mcpx BL heli the other day and put it in the air last night. First flight ever on a heli other than a coaxial heli. Little joker is quick and does what you tell it to do. Think I'm gonna enjoy this.

    Well to help myself even more I just picked up a blade nano mcpx from the hobby shop. Has safe mode if I want it and is supposed to be pretty durable so it will get lots of play time before the big one gets fired up.

    One of the other flying wings it was going right through and the kadet if you look at it is has a bunch of holes in it. Being a lt-40 though it has a ply fuse and they couldn’t hurt it. That plane was in great shape but the owner said he needed a reason to strip it and recover it. This is...
