More boxes = more jobs = healthy economy = nick gets his goods shipped cheap and relatively fast. When I worked on the FedEx planes I...

    3DHS 75" EDGE 540 V2 Assembly Thread

    No flight stabilation for me, just thumbs! My spinner backing plate had a QC issue, it was ground uneven so it had a wobble. Called Zach at extreme Flight and after he received a picture, he said he’ll ship another one to me.

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

    Looks SWEET!!!! Cant really help you on the radio choice. Where I love the reliability of Futaba, prices are getting up there. Graupner seems to have a good thing going for them with the MZ32 (price and features... it's the best IMHO, plus they seem to be listening to their customers) 1 - MZ32 2...
