    Glasses for RC

    I fly with HD vision aviator glasses. They're cheap they help in the sun and they really make the colors of the model stand out well.

    What's on your bench?

    I really want a 50cc something from 3DHS, EF, Pilot, or Redwing. I don't make a lot of $$$ so I'm saving my pennies and not doing a whole lot for myself at the moment. I am building a Bridi Vagabond from Blue Jay models (I really like classic pattern planes too) which is a kit and I have...

    Oops. Here's the first.

    Put a face to that name!

    The first picture is me behind my buddy's freshly maidened 71" Slick. The second is me showing off an indoor profile plane project to my club for E-Fest.

    Futaba 14SG

    I'm assuming there'll be a GPS module for it at some point. I could be wrong. Gyro we have an address, lol. 80 Model Airport Rd. Burgettstown, PA. There's a 50cc extra in there somewhere with an AR8000 and a spektrum telemetry module in it. No GPS though. We've all searched high and low for it...

    There's probably an entire hobby shop in the woods surrounding my club.

    Telemetry is worth it where I fly. In Pittsburgh, most airfields are on hilltops above surrounding woods and you're not always guaranteed to find your aircraft after a crash. The GPS sensor alone makes it worth it.

    I was planning on an 8fg but this may be a good replacement.

    3DHS New Products and General Plane Info/Help for Fanatics

    Any story behind these names? I pancaked mine in front if everyone at the Ohio Huckfest this year, hence Pancake?

    3DHS New Products and General Plane Info/Help for Fanatics

    It's a fantastic airplane! Mine pretty much lives in my car. It looks like you got cooler stickers than me, lol. Ben posted a series of build videos for this plane on YouTube. I followed along and built mine in 3 evenings.

    My new 72" 3DHS Extra 330

    LiFe battery voltages can be misleading. The discharge curve is so flat that my Hyperion battery checker sometimes has trouble translating the voltage to a remaining pack capacity. It's always good to recharge after a flight or two and track the mAh being restored to determine the amount of...

    3DHS New Products and General Plane Info/Help for Fanatics

    I agree on the lower emotional investment. I wrecked my EPP Edge and had it repaired the same night. I had another wreck a little later and again fixed it really fast. The plane is as wicked as ever.

    3dhs 41" Edge

    Unfortunately no video this time because the batteries on my camera died while I was filming a fellow club member who recently got out of the hospital fly his new 71" Slick. But it went really well. On the wild side, I pulled off a blender into a knife edge spin in the same dive. That was a...

    I'm taking my 41" out for some antics tonight after work. Should be fun.
