    Are visitors allowed at the Nighthawks? I'm looking for a place to get some practicing in this weekend and I'll be in the area.

    Suppo motors

    I've used one before. It was smooth, had power, and it was pretty durable. My only criticism is it pulled a little more current than what was typical for its size.

    Big 3D event at the ARCS?

    So at my club's last meeting, the discussion turned to what would it take to bring a larger 3D event and/or competition to our field. I'm not sure how far I will get with this but I wanted to put feelers out there regarding this should this discussion continue in our next meeting in July...

    ohio huckfest

    I'm planning on going at this point. I'm about an hour if I drive from Pittsburgh. About 20 minutes if I drive from my girlfriend's place.

    Limitless Aero 20cc Sbach

    I was working on my Phoenix Extra 330 with a 20cc DLE tonight and I've pretty much determined that the airframe is shot. They are good sport aerobatic fliers but once you start hucking them they start to fall apart (my wingtube is frowning). I was pretty much sold on the Velox until I...

    ** The 3DRCForums 38! **

    Same here. I intend to go for the win. However I also have a lot of work in the way of practice and am really competing in order to force myself into becoming a better pilot. I also like the adrenaline rush that I will get while flying. Simply making it to Saturday will be a victory for me...

    I'm confirming. I won't be able to fly prelims until Friday as I won't be getting there until Friday morning.

    Keeping My Hobby Interest Alive

    Is the 70 still a rocket on a DLE 20? If I went 78, I'd definitely go with a macs header and an ES Composites pipe on a 35 RA.

    Keeping My Hobby Interest Alive

    I like the idea of that 70 Extra. I can get together possibly this year at that price point and the only other thing I would need would be elevator servos and possibly an IBEC to cut down to a single battery for weight. I still have more research to do first because I really like the 78 too!

    Keeping My Hobby Interest Alive

    I have a DLE 20 with a 6v regulator on the ignition with a rexcl opto kill. I have a Spektrum AR8000 in it with 5 hitec 5645s on the surfaces (dual elevator) and a 645 on the throttle. The frame itself breaks everytime I fly it for the first time after a repair which tells me it's time to be...

    Keeping My Hobby Interest Alive

    Another option would be part out my 20cc Extra and put that gear into a 70" 3dhs Velox or EF Extra. Hmmm what does everyone think? I haven't forgot about you Moose, I'm just debating pricing because the Pitts is beat up and I'm not sure I should sell it sight unseen to someone. I'd want...

    Keeping My Hobby Interest Alive

    I think a 30cc class plane should do and I'll sell stuff as needed to make room and for helping with funding if the need arises. Then I'll sell what no longer gets flown. I'm thinking the 72 Extra, the 74 Edge or the 78 Extra from either Aeroworks or EF. I'll probably pick up an airframe then...
