    It Can Happen...and It can Happen FAST

    And I'm really going to miss the Extra.. it was a very light, very fast plane with a DA85 in a 91 inch plane. But I'm on the road to recovery. I came home Sunday evening and worked a deal on an un-assembled CARF MX-2 and a 3W 157 CS. I had one of these years ago with a DA170 and always...

    It Can Happen...and It can Happen FAST

    LOL! I was very lucky to have someone nearby who noticed it. My mind was still on trying to figure out how I lost orientation, gathering up the pieces, etc.. When I looked at my pocket smoking, I didn't even think that I could burn my hand, I just reached in and yanked everything out...

    It Can Happen...and It can Happen FAST

    OK... as long as we're cleansing our souls about stupid battery tricks..... I crashed a brand new 91" EF Extra on Sunday, just lost orientation for a second at the wrong time. We went out to pick up the pieces, and since there were so many pieces, one of the first things I did was unplug...

    Who's Ready For Football Season!?!

    Georgia had a rough day today with South Carolina, and my old college got whacked 31-0 by LSU... a tough day of TV watching, but had some good food to ease the pain!

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I got a new 3-blade Solo prop from CompARF for my Pitts... only to find out that for $600, the adjustable pitch prop that CompARF sells really isn't a Solo prop, and it's only adjustable if you pull the prop off of the plane and manually adjust it. It looks good, but it isn't what I though I...

    general IMAC questions

    Just take the wings that you have, split the ailerons and add flaps. Then you can use your radio to decide whether the flaps are flaps or ailerons!

    Why do you love this hobby?

    I still have a scar on one of my thumbs from a Cox .049 propeller when I was probably 14 years old... I'm 55 now!

    Why do you love this hobby?

    I just like getting out to the field. We have people from every walk of life. Everyone's there to share a common bond in flying toy airplanes, helping each other out, and yes, BS-ing with your friends. We seem to find time for every interest from circle flying to IMAC, warbirds, jets...

    Who's Ready For Football Season!?!

    We went to the Falcons/Saints game on Sunday in Atlanta... a great game, just some added icing on the cake when the Falcons won in overtime. I'm trying to talk the wife into going to the December 21 rematch in New Orleans... so far, she doesn't want to go. That's going to be a great rematch if...

    Extreme Flight Owners

    I just can't imagine there's a whole lot of people out there that want to watch video of me flying around in circles..... and yes, the planes do last longer!

    This is one of the threads (for me) that ALWAYS goes back to the first post when I go to Subscribed Threads and click on the new posts button. Is it just me, or does it work this way for everyone?

    Scale Project Stearman

    That's going to be a great looking plane! I bought an Evo 260 about the same time that you purchased your motor... and because I didn't want to risk a $10K plane on a motor I didn't know anything about, I spent a ton of time with that motor on the test stand. At first, it ran...
