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

    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread- Here is the FAA memo. It IS a memo of Interpretation so now is your/ our time to COMMENT to FAA. That is why the process exists. By the letter of the memo FPV is prohibited under "line if sight". So, if you don't like it, say something. Here's the link...

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

    What case is this? What's it about. It appears long range FPV and "commercial" operations are the two "reaches" here. The quad/ FPV "revolution" has unfortunately caused part of this scrutiny. The ease at which individuals can acquire stabilized "platforms" and not have ANY formal or informal...

    5 out of 9! One EDF is hidden- 78 EF extra, 60 EF Laser, 42 Peaks Biplane, TH CY, CL, 64mm Stinger, 64mm Airfield F18, Radian Pro and Flight Test foam board F22. Worked great for buddy boxing after a kid yanked the wing off the club glow trainer! Doh!

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    +1 on what ryan_m said. I'll only add that I use the Torque motor with an Airboss and castle BEC on 6s 3300 and 3750. I get about 6-7 min flying hard. Performance is Unlimited (well limited by your imagination!) with the Laser. I practice IMAC (its a "backup") with it as well so if sport and...

    The New Sport Pilot's Guide To 3D

    alawson999 thanks for posting. Mike does a very nice job. He was actually the first video I saw on 3D 2 1/2 years ago when I got back in the hobby. A few guys at my club are getting into 3D. This thread will go into our resource file. Good stuff guys.

    +1. Like the EF planes TH are always good for giggles while flying. Good to have a foamie in the car for the field on crazy windy days- always good for laughs. Also good entertainment at BBQs! Good luck and have fun. Let us know what you decide and how you like "them"! Oh, there will be "them".

    Welcome Neal_Scott777! Boeing guy huh? "777" I'm a "Bus" driver. TH is the way to go plus a sim which I assume you have. Those two things have saved me lots of $$$. If you're flying in the yard and outside the 32" frames are all great. I've owned the Edge (most stable), Crack Yak- awesome...

    There's the best trick of all- never crash when a camera is rolling!

    Either that or some on screen feedback from other "avg" pilots. I think it would be good for the up and coming competitors that don't have the exposure and shear numbers of airframes out there for most to try. I'm sure others have had the same experience as I have by putting a well setup and...

    Welcome Rob and thanks for sharing a "hall if shame" (as in what a shame) moment. I'm increasingly impressed by the reactions many of our pilots show after s%#} happens! As Enterprise always says "these things all have expiration dates". I think this good attitude toward unfavorable...
