    Fantastic job, Asheigh! I assume you did a full re-cover from scratch?

    Hobbyking Donkey ST4010-820

    I understand your way of thinking because I used to think like you. But I've had way too many mishaps caused by sub-par equipment that I'm now trying to use high-end components only. Replacing broken motors and ESCs and possibly repairing/replacing air frames gets a lot more expensive long term...

    Hobbyking Donkey ST4010-820

    On paper, it looks like the motor has the right stats. But it's super duper mega ultra hyper cheap! "Self oiling bushings" tells me that it doesn't even have proper bearings. Keep in mind that 3D puts more strain on the motor than anything else. Bottom line: It may very well work, but do you...

    71" AJ Slick Building, Flying, and Questions

    No point in trying to teach you. You have nowhere near the stupidity it takes to pull it off. :) Good news is that the plane will make a full recovery, albeit possibly with a patched up canopy until I can find a new one.

    71" AJ Slick Building, Flying, and Questions

    Does anyone have a spare canopy for an orange electric 71" Slick? I tried that "inverted landing" trick everyone has been talking about... :) The canopies seem to be out of stock everywhere...

    Team 3DRCF Joe "Hone" Villavicencio

    I'm in the same boat. I have a house full of planes but nothing flyable right now. They each need about an evening of work to get back in the air, but I never seem to find the time or energy.

    Extreme Flight 104 Extra

    Does Sarah know yet? :) I told Penny and her comment was "Oh, I would kill you if you did that". So now you know what's awaiting you... :D

    Bowling Green Extreme 3D Fly-In, July 25-28, 2013

    Gary, remember the "NJSwede Custom Scheme" we talked about? I think I've found the plane for it!

    Small Gas 3D

    I'm sure you can stuff something like an Evolution 15cc into a 58" Edge or 65" Vyper. But honestly, it's not going to fly as well as its electric counterpart. It will be heavy and you'll have a tough time balancing it. If you want 3DHS, you'll have to go up to something like a 71" Slick, 70"...

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    You need to build that 72" before you buy anything new. You're starting to surpass Gary in terms of the need for a serious intervention! :)

    It will make an appearance at GCA within the next couple of weeks and you're way overdue for a visit to the beautiful state of New Jersey! (Did I just say that? :))

    That's basically the forecast we had for the entire FLI NJ. We had one afternoon and one evening that weren't flyable out of four days. What I'm trying to say is "don't despair and be ready to fly when there's a break in the rain"!!!

    I have 10 4s 4000mAh for my 58" Edge and my 71" Slick and 7 4s 2800-3000mAh for my 51" Slick.
