    The Inferno

    I thought about your mods, and did something similar, but with a twist. I added 1.5MM rod between the LG and the half moon ply on the fuse to add some stiffness. I found some very light wheels, collars and wire lg which I tied to the CF rectangular struts, then plugged in the wheel...

    The Inferno

    Thanks - golden info Suspect a few will get sold at my flying sites, based on the positive comments I am getting. LG may need some attention - even very soft and slow landings on the asphalt park Iot is grinding down the foam. Overall, I am delighted

    kids and trucks - years ago I had a good friend who would borrow my pickup only once a year, to buy the family christmas tree from the tree farm - always took his step daughter with him year after year. When it was traded off, she shared with her parents that it made her sad because she thought...

    Thanks - very helpful - already see several things I can do better. I will be going back to this one multiple times. I have practicing with a 50" 3D airplane - probably have some retuning to do if I want it to track right for IMAC. The stall before the spin I had read about, and thought I...

    While flying a 6 oz foamie, I was challenged on "safety" because I routinely did harrier landings at my feet. Guess it is unsafe if you don't have to walk a while to get it.

    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    Finally had near perfect conditions this morning - Laser was in the commute vehicle, so I did a fly break on the way to work. For some reason, I decided to set myself the challege of "how big and fat can I make a knife edge loop". After lots of fun, I have come to the conclusion that visual...

    Great insight Concluding that for those of us whose skills are closer the middle of the bell curve, monoplane is the sensible choice. I'd love to hear Bryan Herbert enlighten us on what process he follows to get a get flying airframe - (hinting that maybe we could coax him into the forum for...

    Try the book " Smart Customers, Stupid Companies" to see what is predicted for those companies who don't address such issues. Still a little time before this becomes fatal in the market (in my opinion), the the time is ticking away.

    Congrats to the USA F3A championship I notice that the picture of the US F3A team in model aviation Has two unexpected aspects that I would like to understand better. 1) airframes - two mid wing monoplanes are joined by two biplanes. Granted my skills are trivial compared to these guys, but I...
