    This really gives the hobby a bad name and some clubs are alot like this

    The attitude of some of those guys reminds me of the club treasurer of the first club I was in. He tried to run me off the very first day I was there. I was an AMA member, but hadn't joined the club yet. I was there as a guest of my friend Tony that was training me. I was done for the day and...

    my lawn darts!!!

    These are the remains of my first gasser, an Aeroworks 50cc Yak 54. This is what happens when your ambition overpowers your skill with a snap happy airplane. Considering it hit nearly vertical under power it held up pretty well. If you look closely at the rudder, you can see it was doomed...

    This really gives the hobby a bad name and some clubs are alot like this

    The first club I was in had guys just like that. Thankfully the club I'm in now is nothing like that. In our club you are a probationary member for the first year, then they vote on you again. In club history there has only been one guy voted out and his name was mentioned in that video...

    Lets See Your Foamy's

    I'm certainly no foamie expert, but in the few flights I've had on it it seems good, but a tad underpowered with the stock motor and a 2s 450mah pack. I've flown the Extra Slick from Twisted Hobbies with the same setup and it was fine. Like I said I'm no foamie expert, the only other...

    Show us your bling.

    A few years ago I bought a used Comp Arf 2.3 meter Extra 330L. I thought the colors were way too blah. The yellow looked like bad cheese and the blue and maroon weren't much better so to bling it up, I sprayed a coat of silver pearl over the whole airplane. It change the whole look of the plane...

    So where is everyone from? Countries? States?

    Another one from the bankrupt (Both fiscally and morally) state of Illinois. Where our Governors next home after the Governor's mansion is usually the penitentiary. About 20 minutes east of St. Louis.

    PAU 30% Sukhoi SU-26 ARF 50-60cc

    Oh my! I still say you have a room in your shop full of Chinese emigrants pumping them out for you.:smile-new: The airplane looks great. I've always liked Sukhoi's, it's a great looking airframe.
