    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    I don't think that's going to be a problem. What they're after are people using sUAVs for surveillance etc. I have a friend of a friend who's defending some of those guys who got sued by the government a wile ago. I'll ask him next time I get a chance. But commercial use of sUAVs has always been...

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    It looks like the FAA finally posted those model aviation guidelines they've been talking about. Nothing too surprising there. In summary: "Follow AMA guidelines! Don't be a douche! Have fun!" http://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/uas/model_aircraft_operators/?cid=TW224

    Aerobeez 88" Slick 540 v2 (50cc)

    By the way.... I remember reading somewhere that the Aerobeez 50cc planes had weak landing gear. Well, I deadsticked mine yesterday and ended up doing a VERY had landing. Not a scratch on the plane. AeroHeadTW was standing next to me and was ready to bring out the garbage bags...

    Aerobeez 88" Slick 540 v2 (50cc)

    Yes, but the problem is that it's rubbing all the way back at the tail, so I'd have to open the fuse to reach it.

    Aerobeez 88" Slick 540 v2 (50cc)

    Does anyone have a tip for getting the elevator servo wires away from the pull-pull wires? I noticed my wires had some rub-marks from rubbing against the pull-pull. Eventually, the insulation will fail and short the wire, which would probably lead to a total loss... I'm thinking of biting the...

    DA50 dying in blenders

    The DA50 in my 88" Aerobeez Slick dies when I do blenders. Luckily, I've had enough rotation/windmilling for it to start again. But I almost had to change my underwear... Is this a known issue? How do I troubleshoot? I'm using the stock tank that came with the plane and a standard clunk setup.

    How do they work on gassers? Don't gyros generally hate vibrations?

    72" Extra 330SC

    And of course that doesn't mean that it's not capable of craziness. But I was in a cruising mood yesterday...

    Are you going to put the homemade SFGs on it?

    No, but several witnesses, such as AeroHeadTW. I was thinking of keeping it in the air until someone could get out a video camera, but I was pretty eager to get it down somehow. Crosswind landing with a non-functioning rudder and a tail heavy plane was NOT easy!

    Well, that was a new experience... The canopy of my 58" Edge came off in flight and got stuck on the counterbalance of the rudder. I tried all sorts of maneuvers to get rid of it, but nothing worked. Let me tell you one thing: A canopy hanging off the rudder does NOT do anything good for the...
