    K45G Sport Jet

    This is a sport jet designed by Oklahoma State University engineering seniors. this is just a prototype and the first flight where we started doing any aerobatics. It flies very well and I cant wait to start exploring what it can really do.

    Florida Jetweek, Wednesday Photo Dump

    I'm already a jet addict. I still fly some prop planes but rarely go flying if I can't take my jet. I went from "going to try it" to having 3 jets now and shopping for the next. I haven't flown much scale jets but loving sport jets.

    Older 3W and DA for First 40%er

    I have a DA 150 that I am thinking about selling. It has been on the shelf for about 3 years. Sent it to DA for check up. $80 later it is on its way back to me with a clean bill of health and ready for use or worry free sale. I have no issue buying used DA engines if they have been checked...

    Giant Scale Jets....

    The IMAA rule for giant scale jets were 140" wing span and length combined. My jet is about 140.3" combined so I guess this is about the minimum "Giant Scale". Of course tue quarter scale is usually considered giant scale too. not many small jets though a 1/4 BD-5 would be pretty small.

    Joe Nall 2016 = QUIET!!!

    FACT! a constant sound at a given level will attract less attention and annoyance than something a quieter and changes pitch and sound level constantly. It is not an exact science but listen to sirens. They change tone up and down to make you take notice.

    Any videos of the sequence flown? I would love to see what it looks like flown by a jet.

    July or August IMAC contest in Oklahoma?

    I don't have an IMAC plane at the moment but might have one by then. It has been a long time since I flew IMAC. Dan

    35% IMAC Kit

    C.Edwards, Do you make kits now? If not, I would suspect getting into the business would be hard. It has been a long time since I flew IMAC so I don't know all the trends but it seems to me that if someone is serious enough about IMAC to build a quality plane they more often then not build a...

    IMAC hobby getting expensive

    Things are more expensive now because we want better performance. If you look what was on the flight line of a Giant Scale fly in 20 years ago and what is there now, the stuff now is probably more expensive. The servos have way more torque now, our batteries are lighter and more capacity. The...

    If they get here with a plane, we will take care of them. It is a lot of fun.

    Less pitch for easier landings?

    Practice side slips up high. It will get you slowed down nicely. I would have a hard time choosing a prop for landing performance.

    Toledo Show - Times they are a changing....

    The cost of the booth is cheap compared to some of the tradeshows I attend. The real problem is not really the booth rent. It is expensive to ship a big booth full of stuff. Hotels, meals, transportation, etc. I would bet if they made the booths free it would only increase the number of...

    GSN Product Review - The Soloshot2 Robotic Cameraman!

    A friend of mine has one of these. Took 3 units to get one that works. It does work now though. If you keep it back a ways and then don't do super abrupt direction changes it does fine. Example: fast tight square loop will get you out of frame. We were joking about putting a spot light on...

    3DHS and ExtremeFlightRC to merge?

    Here is a thought. This has been heard from multiple sources. If you are really worried about the word getting out you don't tell anyone. No one outside the respective businesses NEED to know. It is also possible the thought was contemplated and then purposely leaked to gain a pulse of the...
