    Cool old school planes??

    Thanks. The Pitts was a stinker to beat! But not the best 3D airframe for modeling. Of course we know the old farts I mentioned went to Ultimates, Extras, and Caps to achieve their 3D designs. Was it Bob Dively models that did a 25% One Design??? that could harrier and tumble really well???

    The stick bangers thread

    Flight conditions it is then. I had been flying high rate and expo from take off to landing. Thanks! I have even been told by the better pattern pilots that most do not use a lot of expo either. Me personally.....I don't want the plane to show my hands a shakin!!! Steady as a "rock"!! NOT.

    Cool old school planes??

    Sleepy if memory serves me.....The "ONE" Started the "specific" 3D design trend plan form in which names like Patrick, Carden, Godfrey and others emulated. The Staudaucher 300 appeared about then too and was derived from the One Design. If any inaccuracies I apologize. Just flashing back.

    The stick bangers thread

    Typically I fly Expo (Pilot 30% Edge) with 40% on ailerons L+R. 60% up ELV 85% down ELV(just adjusted from 60%) and 40% rudder. When I do rolling harriers (practicing) I find myself spinning the plane to fast (with aileron) all of a sudden from my thumb drifting away outwards on the stick. Any...

    The stick bangers thread

    Bad habits play havoc and being lazy (me) hinders. I had been flying the Edge for 4 years and just finally increased the elevator throw a few fractions of an inch and adjusted down expo and left up expo the same. Have been rewarded with crisp low or high energy pop tops and a wicked KE spin now...

    You Just Might Be a Moron. IF......

    Not taken as wrong buddy. I recently joined this club so as not to have to trek all the way to Foley Field when I get the urge. Really did not intend to fly bigger gassers there but more of my glow stuff. There are some pretty nice FOG's (nice fog!?!?lol) there and they all know the field is...

    3D BH Design 50% Edge 540

    I have done EDF's with 70 and 90mm fans and have to say the speed is up there. The price point is good for a beginner with EDF's as well. Is the waiver mainly because of the Flying Gas Tank?. I pulled the sticks on our club presidents Boomerang?? and he put 2 gallons just about in it. Lots of...

    New Airframe Ideas

    I have gotten so much to do now and I am so so slow now.....think I will just strap an engine to the box and see what happens. Now is that ARF ease or what !? Go Fer 330SC I like the single driver planes anyway.
