    What is YOUR RC Prediction For 2015?

    2015 will be the year with the FAA releases the sUAS regulations. We'll see some kind of licensing for commercial operators, but nothing as crazy as what some people are predicting. No airworthiness certs or no full scale licenses will be needed, but there will be basic requirements of...

    Pro flow canisters on a 104" 3DHS Slick

    How 'bout this? Instead of the silicone tubing that came with the mounts, I used some silicone fuel line. Will I set fire to my plane?

    Send your wife here for your Holiday present

    A DX18 would be nice. But then again, my old trusty DX8 works just fine and a new radio is nothing compared to the joy of being married to you, dear Penny! You are the joy of my life and the light of my days. There! Can I have a DX18 now? :)

    What are you going to build in 2015?

    I'm thinking of building my first real kit. It's been all ARFs so far. Thinking of starting with something small and simple. A Mountain Models Firestorm, maybe? Any other ideas?

    Pro flow canisters on a 104" 3DHS Slick

    I just got a set of pro-flow cans that I'm about to install in my 104" Slick. First of all, these things are works of art! The welding, the finish and the precision is just amazing! My first issue is working out what mounts to use. The wooden ones I have are for a 3W L/70. The cans fit with...

    Share your Trailer Ideas Here

    Home-built 6x8 trailer I bought from a buddy. Maybe not the prettiest, but perfect for towing behind a small car. Volvo S60 T5, 250hp. I barely notice I'm pulling it. I can fit my 104" Slick with rudder on (with one inch to spare) and a 50cc along with a few smaller 50-60" planes on the top...

    My participation here at GSN - Here we go...

    A "supporter" member system would be great. Combine it with exclusive swag that you can't get without being a supporter. E.g. $25 you get a plane decal saying you're a supporter, $5 you get a t-shirt with the same, $100 you get a hoodie and so on.

    Do you like it? Huh? Well do ya?

    Yikes, that engine alone costs about $1000 more than what I paid for my 104" Slick RTF. I have to figure out how to get an RC budget like yours... (Step one would probably be to move out of NJ.. :))

    My participation here at GSN - Here we go...

    IMHO, forum for a fee is not the way to go. The RC forum market is already over-crowded and they're all free. It would be almost impossible to compete with that. I'd say just keep doing what you're doing. I always stayed away from FG because it felt pompous and intimidating. Here I can ask my...

    Wow! You made me feel so small and insignificant with my little 120cc Slick... :) Is that a 50%:er?
