    Best vehicle to transport Giant Scale

    Don't think that's sold in the US market.... Solid platforms from what I hear, very fancy and lots of bling. They have the 4.0 V6 for power which is a solid engine. Won't have the power the 4.7L has, but it'll still tow just fine. Not a ton of space inside for cargo or airplanes though..

    This is exactly why someone needs to buy a slice of property in the rural back country of southern So Cali where nobody is and we can fly all we want to.

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    Something like 10 years before the weather starts to beat on it. Our club president has all of the hookups on any landscaping materials so the cost was justified. Well the club president has a sound system in his trailer ;) We don't keep anything valuable at the field as the homeless tend to...

    As Bipenut stated, the Wenatchee huck is cancelled for this year. I think it was something to do with club politics, but they'll realize that it's not the greatest financial decision to not do a huckfest. Not sure if they will be doing another one anytime soon. Would be nice if more...

    Which year 4Runner? I used to work for Toyota so I know a slew of info about them up until 2012 range. Maybe take a look at a Volvo XC70?

    That was at the bottom of a 400ft knife edge loop!!! :eek::banana::p We recently added the green indoor/outdoor carpet so everything matched. We've painted logos on it since then to discourage people from stealing it. The runway is US 230 Geotextile material, works really awesome, so much...

    It gets interesting with all of the methane gas pipes running around. My filed sits atop an old retired dump site, which is actually very nice as we don't get bothered by anybody really.

    Go Hitec servos!! You won't regret it! As far as my setup entails inside of the transmitter: Triple Rates: 50, 70, 100% Expo: 10, 30, 50% I rarely ever go to medium or low rates, I am always on high rates. I have low rates in the event I feel IMACish or sport flying. Some photos...

    @Spats down, Spats down!!! OK not really :laughing:A club member landed from an unfamiliar direction and managed to navigate the airplane into the barrier. It was a 30CC Katana I think. Really loving this 70" Aerobeez Slick. Just tons of fun, so smooth and crisp.

    15,000w on a 70" Slick?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Are you trying to reach mach 14?? --------- As an update, I have successfully installed a depron baffle on the port side of the cowl. Just one, the starboard side needs to have airflow going directly to the ESC. This should reduce temps by about...

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    The Hackers can safely run up to about 150*F before damage could start to occur, so 120*F on an 80*F day with no baffling and after hard flying is totally reasonable right now. About to go out and fit some Depron baffles :cool:

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    ESC is getting to the low 90's, and the motor is about 120 after some hard flying. If I can keep the temps around 100*F for the motor and under 90*F for the ESC I think she'll be fantastic, especially in the warm So Cali weather...

    Got my spinner!!!!! Looks like I'll need to shorten my standoffs about 1/8". Also thinking about making a baffle on one side of the cowl to direct airflow directly over the motor.

    ^That's where I would aim. Did some more flying today. Got it just about tweaked to where I like it, though I need to adjust the right thrust. It pulls to the left a little under WOT. Straight as an arrow without power. I did something that I have no idea what it was so I'll just call it a...
