    3D CAP 232-ST design / build / prototype

    A Cap.. that is an interesting choice. Subbed! After you Cad draw the plane, how to you actually cut all the wood parts?

    NEW Twisted Hobbys 39" Crack Yak WOW

    Did you use the recommended Twisted Hobbys servos? Also did you test the poser system before you installed it in the plane? I think it's a good idea to lay up all the servos and rx on a table to make sure they are all working, and to ensure they all center properly. It does suck to pull servos...

    59" Aero Plus Corvus Racer Build Thread `From Limitless Aero`

    Hey guys, I feel a little deflated on this build. As many of you know I am a busy person. I have a family, I run a photography business, and I love RC. I spent a ton of time in RC building, helping, researching, and flying. Well over the last few days, I have spent more than a few hours...

    Twisted Hobbys / RC Factory's Brand New 36" EPP FLASH NG, "Official Build Thread"

    Yeah the hot glue was very last. What I did was power the plane up and find where the servo move in the slots when the control surfaces were deflected. then I held the servo in plane and put a dab where the servo moved. Not a lot. just a dab. Let the glue cool, and check for movement again. As...

    NEW Twisted Hobbys 39" Crack Yak WOW

    I haven't used that mount, but I will the next time I build one that fits it. That way I'll be able to let anyone else who asks about it, what I think of it ;).. Btw, I spoke to the invertix folks, and they are testing their ESC motors combo on Twisted H planes. I know for a fact it's on a Turbo...

    NEW Twisted Hobbys 39" Crack Yak WOW

    I have had great luck with the stock version as well as the cf version. Brad at twisted, doesn't have anything in his inventory that's junk. I think each thing they sell has been carefully selected, and is added value for his line.is it worth it, I say yep. Again, the stock mount works just fine.

    My DA50 in the MXS is fantastic, it isn't what I expected. I expected it to be so fast that I would damage the plane if I go too fast. Well the thing isn't a speed daemon at all. It however does have power for days. Once the plane is moving, it will climb at 1/4 to 1/3 throttle. When I try to...

    Trailers, Toy Haulers, Etc!

    If it was me, I would take some PVC caps and drill them for some eyelets. Then add some cable and come carabiners (for quick disconnect) to make a cable brace. That pipe can work harden and snap over time. The cables if loaded a little could take the stress off the 90° elbows.

    3rd Annual RC Today Show Fun Fly: November 22: Bryan, TX

    Bobby, do you guys have that deal set up where an RV company drives out and sets up an RV with generator and you rent it like a motel at the airfield? That is what I want to do. That is the best idea I ever heard of.

    100cc coming soon?

    early spring.. Wow! that would be an amazing achievement. Three prototypes in 3-4 months. Heck I have been working on my first prototype and it is finally getting built and shipped to me in Decmeber. Its been 6 months+. Your factory is dialed in and in rapid prototype mode. That is amazing. I...

    I wish I could go to this event. I want to load my MXS in my little Van with my kids and Drive. If I had the extra cash and a place to stay I would take the kids our of school and leave today! Christmas has the money tight on the old homestead :(

    100cc coming soon?

    Joe Smith is developing a 100cc extra for them. I know if Joe is involved, it will be Perfect before it reaches the market. This also means the price will be a little less but close to EF, and 3DHS planes. I say $900-$1000. We need to welcome RWRC to the premium end of the aircraft world. I...

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

    So this isnt just a hit to Drones, its a hit to anything that is in the air. So it would be illegal for little Johnny to build a paper plane and throw it. Imagine the NTSB investigation of the accident where Little Johhnys paper plane was flown into the eye of little Samantha. Total Bull. You...

    Redwing 3D Painted Prop !!!

    Make a 22x8 yet?.... When you do , Ill buy one from ya. The 22X8 Xoar is 7250 rpms static so I think its the perfect pitch and diameter for my DA-50. I have wanted to try one of your painted ones since the day they came out... Isn't the 22X8 a standard size? I was surprised when I saw it wasn't...
