    Looking good, glad to see your back at it.

    Scale Balsa USA Camel F1

    I hope they come back to join the Winter build season, no fun without contributors.       I see the other place has gotten pretty dead as well. Build threads like this and Terry's are my favorite part of the forums. The Other Place is pretty dead, but the obnoxious people are still posting...

    Boy. that sure looks better than mine. It's a crappy picture because Samsung just updated the firmware in my S5 phone and now the camera wont focus. Thanks Samsung!

    IMAC JTEC/ Radiowave 3.1m competition series

    I still have one of the 30% Ace kits that airplane was built from. They are heavy and way out dated, but I still may build it sometime. It was the first gas airplane I ever flew. It died a horrible death when Tony, my friend that owned it, clipped a guy wire from a pylon. They had just set up...

    This one was installed in a slight recess and then filled, smoothed and painted. Sorry for he crappy picture, but it's a crop of a scan of a 20 year old photo.

    Switching a 31 Club Pylon Racer to E Power

    I would but I don't have a video camera capable of focusing on a small fast mover. The ones I have struggle with big airplanes going slow. I bought a nice Samsung last year and so far I hate it.

    Who's your RC "CREW" and why?

    Basically there has been one guy that I've always flown with since 85 when I started, my buddy Tony. He taught me how to fly after only flying two weeks himself. The old guys at the club were none to happy about that. He must have done a good enough job I soloed on the second day. We both quit...

    Switching a 31 Club Pylon Racer to E Power

    Brian, you would probably also like the next electric power swap I'm going to do. I just bought an unfinished Phoenix 8 pattern airplane project. The planes from the ballistic days of pattern are my favorite, I've owned several. While I will miss the piped screaming .61 two stroke I'm wanting...

    The homemade drill bit is an awesome idea!

    Switching a 31 Club Pylon Racer to E Power

    I really enjoyed racing it back in the day. We had a small field so it was a 500' two pylon course. Standing there flying around yourself trying to fly smooth, turn well, not hit anyone, or the pylons for that matter, all while other airplanes are screaming around you was a mix of fear and...

    Looks like DA Australia got something new.

    I guess that's the inline 100 they were showing a few years ago.

    Switching a 31 Club Pylon Racer to E Power

    Hard to say since I haven't flown it since 2011 and since it's so much quieter now it's tough to tell.

    Cool old school planes??

    I had several of them, they were pretty cool back then. There a guy at my old field back in the day that had a Super Hots with a .80 ducted fan engine and a pipe that was pretty awesome for the time. He used to do what he called the "Top Gun" maneuver, what we know now as a full power...

    Scale Balsa USA Camel F1

    Yep, between having to turn the heat on at home for a bit the other day and looking at build threads like this, I'm about ready to get back to the wood butchering!

    Switching a 31 Club Pylon Racer to E Power

    I finished the electric swap the other night I flew it today. It's certainly faster than it was with the OS.10 glow. It's a lot of fun!   The Naca duct in the nose and the slots I cut in the bottom hatch to let air out did a great job keeping the battery and speed controller cool.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I went flying today, and for the first Sunday in years I didn't bring a gas airplane, we turned out to have a mini huckfest at the field. Normally there are only two or three of us but today gassers were everywhere. I still had a great time, though I felt a little left out. I did spend a lot of...
