    Header Coupler Problems

    I personally think they were just bad couplers. He had complained that they were thinner than normal and I wonder if Chief just didn't get some bad stuff.

    Graupner Radios

    BoomaRC/AdvancedRadio are coming out with a whole new line of power systems that incorporate their intelligent servo matching system. They look like there going to be a pretty cool product that doesn't break the bank. They're not on the website yet, but I saw a video from Joe Nall that showed...

    Glad you guys had a good day! Mine kind of sucked, other than getting to watch Ryan fly. That's always entertaining.

    Header Coupler Problems

    I maidened an airplane for a friend today and a new set of Teflon couplers only lasted a few minutes. It started getting loud and by the time I landed both couplers were destroyed. I just spoke with him a little while ago and he said when he took it apart they were both melted. It's a new...

    Bart, it's all paint. The bottom is all black, with the Breitling emblem across the wings and fuse.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I had an interesting day at the field today. First off the weather man needs to be shot. 5 to 10mph my die'n A@@! My flying buddy Tony wanted to maiden his new Composite ARF 35% Extra 330SC. He hasn't flown yet this year, so I got elected to do it. What a gorgeous airplane! DA 120, Pro Flows...

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    Perfect conditions, what's that like? Earlier in the week they were forecasting Saturday and Sunday high 60's winds a 5mph. Well Saturday winds were 15 to 25. Today they're saying 10 to 15, but bet it will be more.:mad:

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I got my Carf Extra out today to run it a bit since I'm planning on taking it to the field tomorrow and it hasn't been run in 7 months or so. I'm glad I did because I about wore myself out flipping it before I got a pop. After that the GP61 started right up and ran great. It's embarrassing to...

    There might be a little good natured ribbing, but that did make me think what would happen if you showed up with the 40% Extra 330SC at our warbird event. I could only imagine the trouble that would cause. Especially if you would hover with the smoke on right over the runway. :first_place:

    Graupner Radios

    Radio discussions are like talking religion, politics or oil. Everyone has their favorites and may even think what the other guy is flying is junk. I think most newer radio systems are pretty good for the most part. What I see at our field is some REALLY bad setups. A guy flying a big airplane...

    What I take to the field is there to please me. If someone wants to give me grief over it I don't really care, if he gets to mouthy about it, we'll then all bets are off, but no one at my field would do that. Well there was one guy, but he got the boot out of the club. As a matter of fact he...

    I was on Chief's website doing a little window shopping and found that Pilot's got a few new schemes. There were two I thought were kind of cool.

    No, I don't do much traveling anymore. I'm just getting to lazy.;)

    Hello From Oklahoma

    Welcome! Pulling the throttle back on an airplane is better than a new heli pilot thinking he's pulling the throttle back when he's in trouble and pulling negative pitch instead. That gets expensive! I started flying heli's awhile back after decades of airplanes. It's been a lot of fun.
