    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    Yup. Time to warm up the soldering iron... I don't think I have an adapter for it, so I'll make one...

    If you say you have one for sale, I don't know what I'm going to do. Seriously, Gary! :)

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    I've already dropped $1200+ on RC stuff in the last week or so... :veryshocked:

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    Yeah, I see a DX8 in my very near future. But still, I need the charger so I can fly this weekend. Or, I guess I could solder an adapter so I can hook it up to my flight battery charger...

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    On a completely different topic: I've lost the charger for my DX7! How is that even possible? I've been plugged into the same wall socket for two years now and I never move it. But... It's gone. WTH?????

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    That's quite alright as far as I'm concerned. Having a European background and all, I'm probably pretty liberal in comparison. However, people making it their lifestyle to take advantage of the system and abuse it appals me too. In fact, I've found that I get along with people from all parts of...

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    For the record, while I like to poke fun at you, I realize there's some serious poverty and suffering out there. And that's not funny at all. Yeah, I'd love to visit one day. I'm sure it's a life altering experience. I've seen some stuff in northern Sweden that may get close to what you've got...

    BTW, it just struck me: I have actually met a person IRL who lives in WV. That particular person has two children who, in addition to being half-siblings, also are cousins. And I'm not kidding!

    Pilot Yak 19% (53")

    Steve, I know... But I my eagerness to get the plane in the air took over. At the end of the day it's no big deal. The first flight was a bit like a drunken squirrel, but I had things under pretty good control and I don't think there ever was any serious risk of losing the model. Xsubsailor who...

    Pilot Yak 19% (53")

    The problem is that the manual only lists the CG for the 19% Sbach and not for this bird. I think, unfortunately, the generic 19% manual they have was written before they released the Yak. Hopefully they're going to fix that. So I just went ahead and made a rough guess. Obviously, my guess was a...

    Glenn did a test on how well Turnigy batteries survives 32 degree temperatures (a.k.a. leaving them out in the cold). It made all his flights VERY short. :) So we put him in charge of hotdogs:

    New Leopard 5055-460kV motor. NICE!

    Very cool! I just got the 720kv version of the same motor and I'm also going to put it in a 58" Edge, but with 4s.

    Not sure. But I do know it's Glenn's foamy Extra on the table next to my Yak. It was actually a good flying day. Always nice to see Glenn and the gang!

    This is what dedication and perseverance looks like. About a dozen showed up for the freeze fly at GCA today!

    Pilot Yak 19% (53")

    I finally got a chance to maiden my Yak today (albeit in snow and freezing temperatures). The first flight was silly tail heavy, so it wasn't exactly enjoyable. I had to push my 3000mAh 4s almost all the way forward to make it balance. Once I had the CG right it was a very nice plane to fly...

    New year's resolution: Drink a little bit less. Fly a whole lot more. How hard can it be?
