    Booma RC Intellimatch?

    Just watched the video on their site on setting it up. Looks pretty easy. I'm trying to get a friend of mine to buy a IM22. He's got a 35% Extra that he want's me to put a Demon Cortex in for him. It would make life much easier.

    How I feel after a successful Maiden Flight.

    I think that video is pretty strong evidence that the internet will be the down fall of human society.

    How I feel after a successful Maiden Flight.

    I watched the first 25 seconds to see the Sleepy's ad, but other than that all I could think was MY EYES!!!!

    The Forgotten Extra, The Extra 230

    I know exactly what you mean. My buddy Tony, the one that owned the Ace Extra 230 in the first post is the one that got me into flying and he always had the cool stuff as well. I was messing with helicopters a little in 1985 because Tony got me interested in them. When he bought a plane I went...

    The Forgotten Extra, The Extra 230

    It was cool to find a video of one in the same colors as Tony's old airplane. I had never seen a full scale in red and black. The ones I remember were red and dark blue.

    The Forgotten Extra, The Extra 230

    Sleepy's new thread today about your favorite aerobatic airplane made me give some thought to one of my favorites from the past, the Extra 230. I imagine that the reason it's one of my favorites is because the first gas aerobatic airplane I ever flew was an Ace 30% Extra 230. It was built by a...

    How To Share An Opinion Without Being An Ass

    Having read the whole article I've decided when I'm king of the world, people will have to pass a test based on that article, before getting their Internet License. If they fail the test, "No Internet For You!

    Favorite Aerobatic RC Airframe (Style not Brand) - POLL

    I see that after you vote there is a "Change your vote" feature. Is that for the guys that like to cave in to peer pressure?;)

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Just got back from flying. The weather was even worse than advertised. Damp, cold and windy. I just love Midwest weather. Warm and very humid yesterday morning. One of those days where it feels like someones covering your face with a hot wet towel when you step outside. And cold, windy and damp...

    Because it's ZooFebruary, that's why!

    If any thing like that would ever take place at my field all the FOGS would soil themselves.;)

    Helicopter Training

    I had great plans to work through them over the winter and between lazyness and airplane projects it didn't happen. I have a total of one heli flight in so far this year. I hope to change that soon.

    U.S.R.A. was EVERYWHERE This Past Weekend!

    Nothing like the rush of racing in a pack of airplanes around yourself. Trying not to cut pylons, go fast, fly smooth, not crash, not get dizzy and fall down and not run into another airplane. I only did it for awhile and with an airplane that wasn't all that fast, but it was still cool!

    Pilot 30% Edge 540. Who's Flying it!?

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I finished the cowl bolt access hatches tonight while I was waiting for batteries to charge. I'm going flying tomorrow for the first time in a month. The hatches turned out pretty nice. I'm going to change the screws to a countersunk style once I get some. That should give it a better finished look.

    It's looking great. I do like the way the can is mounted, like you said, simple and clean.

    IMAC Dalton Yak 54, 38% please submit suggestions here....

    It looks great. As much as I love my Extra's and Edge's, it's good to see a Yak 54 being built.

    IMAC JTEC 2.7m Extra 300CS

    On one of the products I use at work you add 3.7% catalyst. I hate having to use a calculator to mix things.;)
