    3D Newbies

    3Drew - I used that RX in several 3d profiles also - no problems at all. I tend to fly well within "park flyer" distances. Would suggest a care full range check if flying far away or high up.

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    As I watch the news this week, I see that booth Google and Amazon appear to actaully be serious about fielding door to door package deliver by autonomous aerial vehicle ( I refuse to use the "D" word). I have a hypothesis that the FAA will not be able to hold it's position in the face of two...

    noob looking for advice

    No wrong choices here. I advise that you show pictures of all to your wife/significant other and let them pick the one they think is prettiest. Will buy you some flying time grace down the road. As you load it into the car, look her in the eye and say " that is a beautiful airplane you chose...

    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread-

    And now, for something completely different! Always wanted some of those expensive Fat Shark FPV goggles, but couldn't bring yourself to spend that much ? View yourself as a pretty handy craftsman and builder? Kinda P***ed at the FAA ? Take this idea and run with it...

    Twisted Hobbys Owner's Thread!!

    Love my TH planes - have 4 of them at the moment. I have a durability problem that has shown up on two different airplanes - wondering if maybe there is something I should/could be doing to avoid this in future. The problem is that after many flights, the wires from the motor become...
