    OMG I hate the freakin' Patriots!!!

    I didn't really care who won but seeing Sherman's reaction was pretty priceless. I was so hoping Brady would find him and say, "You mad bro?"

    Quick way to ruin family relationships! (Funny but true story)

    Way to give the bro-in-law the stink eye.

    The FAA just "went there" NOT GOOD. ALL RC Aircraft = REAL AIRCRAFT

    What I fear and predict is a set of rules that will apply to RC as we know it but will never be able to be enforced on a large scale but can be used as a club to beat on those the FAA wants to beat on. A perfect example is 400ft. I am pretty sure this is going to become a real rule. It won't...

    Who has seen the Geese flying?

    A friend of mine who has a PhD in Aero Engineering asked me the other day, "Everyone knows why Geese fly in a V formation. It makes the groups of birds more efficient. Do you know why one side of the V is longer than the other?" I ponder a minute trying to think of a technical reason I...

    Contest for High School Students (Oklahoma)

    I would like to get the word out about Speedfest and the opportunity to get High school students involved in model aviation. Oklahoma State University has been putting on a model aircraft contest called Speedfest the last 4 years. There is a division for universities and a division for high...

    What's funny is that the motor had its longest motor run that flight.

    AJ Aircraft 73 Laser 230z

    Oh the temptation. I had an Extreme Flight 70" Extra EXP. Loved the plane but did not like messing with the big electrics and it was not suited that well for a 30cc engine. I did enjoy that size plane though.

    Bowed Carden 40% wing panel

    I would start by cutting off the leading and trailing edge. Figure out a way to hold it just past straight and glue the LE and TE back on.

    I saw Josh everywhere I went. Sounds like I missed a lot of you guys. Looks like about 80% I will be going to Vegas too. Was going to try to Make the Tulsa 3d fly in but can't miss the chance to hit another race.

    Those are not normally repairs. Those are often modifications. They all have ideas on what will make them go faster. Many are trying to reduce cooling drag so they stuff inserts in the intake to reduce the amount of air going in the cowl. They don't need much cooling for 1 minute of full...

    Red Bull Air Race Texas Motor Speedway

    I had a blast. This was my first race. I left Sunday trying to figure out how I was going to get to Vegas to watch another. I have a business trip to AZ the week leading up to the vegas race. Just might stay there. 16141=10886-DSCN0650.jpg 16141=10885-DSCN0658.jpg...

    Also putting $100 bill in the tail makes crashing a little more palatable too.
