    Seriously, Thank you guys!

    cool, glad it worked better. Still a bit fuzzy. Once I know the file limitations I should be able to export an optimized version.

    Rob, I sent you a 400 x 400 version of your 260 you should be able to upload.

    Measuring throws on control surfaces

    My iPhone (5s) works perfectly as a digital angle meter for setting up the various throws based on the recommendations usually found in the manuals. The accuracy is easily under about one degree (it measures to the tenth of a degree). I found an app called "clinometer". It also allows you to...

    Whew....that was a close one! Close Call and Narrow Escapes

    Wow Rob, glad to hear the plane survived with minimal damage. I got my scare at the field with my 104 EF earlier this spring when it was still new. Best I can figure out is I must have forgot to fill the tank between flights. Thankfully I had just finished a hammerhead over the center of the...

    Congratulations Tony!

    Congrats. There is only one thing that is even close to having children. No, it is not a new 3D plane. It's Grandkids of course for us slightly older folks.

    Look what my wife did to me...

    Are you in that pic? I was to busy noticing your very beautiful wife.   I think pretty much anytime the girls get dressed up that nice, you can pretty much bet they are going to make you do so as well.

    How big before multiple servos on a control?

    Mikeq... So is the intellimatch to remain connected to your servos after matching is complete? Or do you remove it? I have never used anything like this before. Just wondering if it would be a good idea to get them. With all my multi servo control surfaces, I set range of throw with each servo...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Ernie offered to take some pics of me flying with my camera. It's hard to get the good shots though unless you bring the plane down to the deck, as you know. I am still chicken to get anywhere close to as low as Chris was today. Unless it's with my twisted hobbies foamy. I was happy practicing...

    Hello all!

    Welcome, I hope you jump right in here... and grab a camera and show us what you are up to. We need more people posting about whats on their bench. I have come to learn, the true fanboys post mostly out of of a shallow ego. Our preferences in airplanes, engines, radios and other electronics...

    Let's talk about Avgas (100LL)

    My concern for Avgas is the lead. That and the regular non ethanol gas I can get down the street works just fine.

    Cool old school planes??

    Awesome, I hope you do a build thread!!      The S-12 is one of my favorites, but is a little over-cooked in the RC market, would be neat if someone did an older Pitts.     The Jtec kits look really good when done. I definitely plan on doing a build thread with lots of pics. The last couple of...

    Cool old school planes??

    Isn't the classic old school aerobatic plane the Pitts?  My last several planes have been ARF's and I really want to work on a kit this winter. I am seriously looking at the Jtec 26% Pitts 12 as my first build in years. I would love the 41% version, but the extra cost for a mostly fun flier has...

    Prescription sunglasses

    I am using a set of prescription glasses with the coating that gets darker in the sun. They are also progressive as well since my eyes are getting older as well. I need a new pair, but I am a bit to lazy right now to call and get my appointment.
