    Yep - you have a cultural mismatch. Welcome to join my guys - Lots of my colleages are the "fly in circles" guys, but that are tolerant and amused with me - Most realize that they are far more likely to run into to me, than vice versa. Was flying "laps" recently when lots were flying, but doing...

    Let me take a wild guess - night vapors and champs, nothing aerobatic?

    Product idea - heated transmitter - like heated seats in a car

    +1 on that - transmitter feels like a block of ice - cant fly in gloves

    Video is blocked for me because of copyright restrictions - music apparently. Possible to share the video without the sound track? Compare and contrast to crack yak or crack laser? Very interested

    Building when not in the right frame of consciousness always comes to a bad conclusion for me. When it it ready to be built right, it will call me, I will be obsessed till it it done and in the air. Don't rush, go with what you sense is right. It is a hobby after all. ...

    Lipo vs Li-Ion

    Smiling as I type this - It all depends on your selection criteria and what you want to optimize- Having driven and ridden in Teslas and the Lotus platforms they came from, I can tell you it is pretty darned hard to get in and out, and a ride of more than a couple of hours is pretty...

    Joe - you already have some great advice from the other guys - you mentioned insurance concerns - suggest you join the AMA (the one for RC modelling, not the one for Doctors). Will help get you access to many club sites that require it, gives you a basic, common sense set of saftey rules. Given...

    If it makes you feel any better, I once drilled a hole in my finger with a high speed dremel tool. Using a bench vise now....finger recovered, but my MD had a pretty good laugh at my expense.

    Did a little 3D play on the lawn at the "Sideling Hill" Pennsylvania Turnpike Rest Stop this week. TH CLaser Pretty surreal - as the weather was just about to change, so though the wind was still light, the sky was dark and the clouds over the mountain were boiling. Made me smile - got...

    pleased to hear the Slick is working well for you. Dome fly was excellent as usual. I spent most of my evening coaching a brand new pilot (10 years old). Good to be helping someone new enjoy the hobby - he was really pumped- I eventually got him settled down enough to fly the pattern in the...

    For anyone near me in Pittsburgh, The Dome Fly at Neville Island is Saturday night - Usually draws about 50 pilots - 14 oz limit. 6:45 PM start. Just finished building a new PA Addiction to replace the one that the tree "ate" a few months back - No Maiden yet - waiting for some acceptable weather.

    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    After the last snowstorm, we had a very big cold spell - Took my laser out the our local grass rc field, which is of course under numerous inches of snow. Just too much cabin fever - winds were light though. The cool thing is that the top of the snow has a frozen crust that to the Laser, seems...

    I have about 50 flights on mine in the 3 weeks since I finished it, both indoors and outdoors when the wind isn't too bad. Confident in predicting that you are gonna love it

    Twisted Hobbys - Crack Pitts Mini

    As you can tell from my earlier comments, I love the plane. Still scratching my head on a small detail - battery placement. Has anyone figured out how to mount the battery so the weight is evenly split to both sides? The rear cf strip seems to prevent the classic THRU HOLE technique
