Sport VTOL Aircraft Project
Since I work with a company that specializes in Hybrid Quadcopters I decided to try to build my own VTOL aircraft. My company has been VERY successful with this technology. First I am going to try on my current UAV plane. It would be cool to see this on an aerobatic 35 or 50cc plane! This will...- garlandk

Show us your IMAC transmitter setups
I like to also keep it simple. I only have three things to worry about. Condition Switch, Landing Idle Switch, and Ignition Kill Futaba 18MZ Radio Ignition Kill- On one of the rotating knobs. Helps prevent accidentally switching it to off while passing the transmitter to let someone fly your...- garlandk

IMAC practice tips for new pilots.
But the Dalton MEL is within the 10% rule.... Just because a user has a Dalton does not make them the best (even though Tony say it does ;) ) Yes it is a great flying airplane, but it still takes A LOT of skill to win a contest. Guys for those that get upset here is how I think of IMAC...- garlandk

IMAC practice tips for new pilots.
There are rules for a reason and judges must follow them. It is not that hard and it is a very simple rule to follow. What I ask is it fair I compete in one region and get zeroed for something that cost me the contest, but go to another region and they don't give zeros for that thing I messed up...- garlandk

IMAC practice tips for new pilots.
Before you start practicing your sequence work on turn around maneuvers for a whole three flights. Focus more on keeping your box tight and keeping the same line each pass. It is VERY boring, but trust me it will help you out a lot. It will allow you to focus on the simple things. Key Things...- garlandk

It was stupid to be flying right over the skier. Don't know the full story of it but remember guys we as modelers have had close calls like this at events before due to failures. Whether it be the pilot or the machine. Only difference is these were mostly at RC flying sites. Sadly failures...- garlandk
