    Any Mac users here?  I was curious what you hear about OS X Yosemite?  I just don't follow computer stuff like I did and was wondering if it's okay to upgrade

    Mysterious US military plane returns to Earth

    A reusable "space plane" built by the US Air Force has returned after 674 days in orbit - and nobody no one knew it was up there.  Landed yesterday. http://www.space.com/25275-x37b-space-plane.html  http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-29669205

    Measuring throws on control surfaces

    Hey stangflyer what is the smallest plane you have used your Hander 9 angle finder on?  Was wondering if it will also work on a 60" plane.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    I have used that Clineometer app and still have it on my iPhone but don't use it for my plane any longer. It just requires an additional hand being it does not stay. Seems I always need two hands on the transmitter to get it just right, one to hold the transmitter and control pegged and the...

    I don't know what to make of that one.   So we used to say that helicopters don't fly,   they beat the air into submission.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    I have been using that Aeroworks unit for some time now and I really like it. You have to remember with fast servos not to ram the sticks though but that is probable true of most of them that clip on.

    IMAC JTEC/ Radiowave 3.1m competition series

    That's an interesting trick IMAC, on the back side did you wrap the solder up so the ends meet to control the transfer width?

    Joe Smith quits 3DHS!

    Until I am on fixed income this is exactly my point of view. The rest of my feelings I will keep to myself.

    Measuring throws on control surfaces

    On the Hanger 9 if the plane is not sitting level can you zero the reading out at neutral and measure from there?  I wondered about the weight.

    Thats odd that they would give two different screws.  I hope you find out.

    I would add to use a good quality charger.  I do use a Power Labs 8 and always balance charge.  I have been thinking about it.  Thanks.

    $59.99 is a lot to spend just to measure throws but this is pretty cool from Hanger 9

    Measuring throws on control surfaces

    I did a build thread on my Extreme Flight 60" Edge and I used some simple printed protractors that when printed can be scaled to your control surface.  I printed and taped on card stock to stiffen.  You can make these for each surface and have them on all at the same time.  I just thought I...

    Measuring throws on control surfaces

    Just curious to see what you guys are doing to measure your throws.  I have used simply gauges like 3DHS provides and sells, iPhone angle apps, home made protractors but mostly I have settled in on the throw meter Aero-Werks sells.  Pretty simple to use and quick to read.

    Am I the only one concerned about charging a Lipo inside of your plane?  This is sure tempting though.
