    Aeroworks 30cc Laser 200 ARF-QB

    Enterprise pretty much summed it up. Great smaller option for an IMAC practice, competition or backup. It was nice on the electric. I'd agree with Matt, if you like the scale and want to fly primarily precision/ IMAC and some 3D and XA it will be really nice. As you reach deep into the XA...

    Become A Model Aviation Mentor. Help Others In Our Sport!

    Fellas you can't "push it". However when opportunities present themselves take advantage of them. If your flying field has spectators talk with them, educate them. If schools or organizations reach out, reach back. Listen to what the person wants with the hobby and cater to that rather than...

    Become A Model Aviation Mentor. Help Others In Our Sport!

    It certainly is an uphill battle. The hobby itself has more obstacles and competition for time with the kids. Yes, building is becoming a lost art but many of the kids are quite adept at learning (often through trial and error) repairing, hence building techniques on various materials from foam...

    Solder joint failure on ESC (Air Boss) lead killed my Extra from 50' straight in! No Fire. Same scenario- fine then nothing. That's really our weak links with the electrics. Constantly tugging on those connectors and wires even when secured. Stinks. Glad no one was hurt.

    Become A Model Aviation Mentor. Help Others In Our Sport!

    Well said Frank and not to trash on other forums but one of the motivators for this forum was to get more into the hobby/ sport and more distance from the drama and soap boxes. Unfortunately that's a side effect of an "unseen" non face to face form of media. I won't say I've never fallen victim...

    Become A Model Aviation Mentor. Help Others In Our Sport!

    I think generally this community "gets" that youth grow and sustain the hobby, paying it forward is a good motto and being flexible to student needs rather than stuffing "the way we always have done it" down their throats. In short a great, fun and giving group open to new ideas. Great job ALL!

    Frank, I notice there's not much on your map in Eastern Mass. I'm an officer at another club, Plum Island Airport RC Club. It's more geared to IMAC, 3D and XA and we also have a large Turbine presence. This would be for more advanced instruction but may meet a need for that flier who wants to...

    Eugene Oregon 3D Bash & Monster Fest

    Looks like you guys had a good crowd. Nice work 3DMIKE and gang! Enterprise and I are still trying to get something going for the Northeast. It's a pretty busy region believe it or not and settling on a "non- conflict" date has been tough. Perhaps we can "ease" into one of our existing events...
