    Friday Coverage (Day 1)

    What's the word on Jase Dusia plane he was flying in the freestyle round. Saw a video where he crashed it. Looked like he might of had a flame out on his down line.

    I want to build one. I have two OS 1.20 surpass engines sitting hear one of which would be just perfect on a 1/4 scale cub.

    IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

    Looks good. What kind of covering iron did you pick up? I used to use the top flight brand one but then @pawnshopmike sent me a covering and trim iron made by 21st century. I freaking fell in love with that thing and I'm not even sure where my top flight one is anymore.

    Come on now. I cartwheeled a plane and picked it up and threw it right back in the air.

    Had a blast for a few hours today. Got sunburnt as hell but had fun. Cartwheeled the little green mojo40 but nothing was damaged. Also flew the sbach65 and was playing with the tune on the DLE 20. Getting it closer but still needs to be leaned out a little bit more.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Took my sbach65 out for some fun today. Got two flights in on it. Adjusted the CG from the maiden as it was way tail heavy. These two flights it flew more like I wanted it to. Botched the second landing though. It hit kinda hard but not real hard and the gear folded up under it. Found the...

    Share your ideas for safe pre-flight and flying

    I am one that is left handed and I do as Dennis said. I have the prop at around the 8 o'clock position making me swing the prop from underneath the cowl. It's iust what feels natural to me but I have been told at the field before I'm doing it wrong. My biggest pet peeve with starting though is...

    Share your ideas for safe pre-flight and flying

    I follow many of those same rules. Neck strap I always tuck into my shirt and I do start with my bare hand on my 55cc planes.
