Awesome and glad to have you here! We have a rather weak multirotor section that you maybe able to help beef up a bit with your experience!
What do you think of the new DJI inspire 1? Pretty cool!

Hi guys,
I'm a french Canadian 3d pilot it's been 10 years that I'm in the hobby. I'm 24 years old so I've started at 14 years old with my father.
I started with a Durafly trainer and after a lot of small nitro 3d airplanes. I now own a Aeroworks edge 540 50cc with a da50r for the summer and for the winter some Rcfactory airplanes !!
Thanks guys and happy to further exchange with you

Hi Mike,
I'm from Worcester, MA and have been flying about 5 years. I'm self taught an learned the hard way with a lot of crashes in a private field. I was drawn to aerobatics and owned many Extra 300 foamys. Last year built out a 60" SuperCraft Cap 232 with 6S Rim Fire .80, it flys really nice and is a great sport plane. In the last year I have become interested in 3D and have been spending time on the simulator and doing what I can with my existing planes. Last week I bought my first gas plane a AW .60/.90 Extra 300. I plan to install a DLE 20. Do you have a recommendation for a decent EPP foamy to practice 3D? Thanks Mike

The twisted hobbies foamie are excellent! I have the 39" crack yak and just love it! Epp is wonderful to help build skill and confidence! There are some other decent options like westmichiganparkflyers.com and griffwerks. I like the twisted planes the best but they are on the expensive side... if you don't have a big budget constraint get a twisted hobbies plane. You won't regret it!
I started in a cow field back in the 90s with a cox 10 or something. Had every thing right but the ailerons.
Somehow I kept it in the air for awhile and have been hooked long term.
All the way up to 3 88" planes EF and 3dhs.
I guess doing loops for 10min with a cox in a cow field did a number on me. Haha
Dabble in soaring , Love electrics to. Put up with glow for years til I went to joe nall the first time.
Had a 88" gas in my hands within a few weeks of that.
Fly with Dixie aeromasters in gray , ga

TALLY HO!…everyone! shocktrooper here…firstly out the gate; I'm sending max kudos and respects to my fellow warrior from the "Mean Green Machine"…you know who you are buddy! Thanx for chatting with me the other night! Always a pleasure and a rush to meet/comm with a fellow vet!
I am a retired A&P Mechanic/RII Inspector…about 25 years worth. I have turned many-ah-bolt & flew many-ah-mile in those "Damn Infernal Flying Machines"! Started building static plastic models about age 6; an F86 Sabre was my very first kit. My dear mom saved it, and it now hangs proudly in my Barn/shop…in all it's ugly glory! LOL! Built a static/plastic 1/48 Hellcat and Zero combo about a month ago…first kits since around 1989! Just got my 1st RC plane in a RTF kit; F4U Corsair S trainer, got a Flyzone Focke Wulf w/ retracts & flaps still in the box. Not confident to fly her just yet. I would hate to ball-up such a nice looking bird on the first flight! Got 2 E Flight BNF P51 Mustang Basic(s) coming for me & my adult son. Got them on sale and it won't kill-me if I crack it up some. Gotta get up to speed on the fast birds, before I maiden my FW! There is so much info here it boggles my mind! I have been E bay-ing and shopping on the internet like crazy lately….just a slobbering RC FNG! LOL! I LOVE scale and warbirds the most but the new style aerobatic birds look awesome too! I have much to learn! "CHEERIO"!

OH yeah…I almost forgot…am currently a WWII, 52 kill (virtual) Hellcat ace and squadron leader, USN Commander on the old Microsoft Combat Sim/ Pacific Theater! Now if I can just learn to translate all that know how to the hand held 'Radio'!
I know that this is NOT the classifieds, but I have acquired quite an Estate stash of unbuilt kits in the box, assembled planes, and lots of misc. hardware still in the OEM packages. This fellow (RIP) was a 90s era RC pilot and builder, everything is 72 MHz and from what I've seen listed on e bay, some of this stuff is vintage and valuable. Ya'll PM me if you want to browse a summary list.
Thanks…plz. don't flame me Mr. Moderator….

LOL You're all good my friend! Wooooosha and welcome! Need anything these guys can help or just reach out to me. Later!
Hi Mike,
I am from Albuquerque, NM and after a 25 year absence from the hobby, I started flying again last year and although I am not a competent 3d pilot, I am learning...Love my Multiplex stuntmaster for trying out new maneuvers. The tutorials on the site have been extremely helpful and thanks to all that contribute to that forum. I have the Aeroworks 52" freestyle 260, Extra 260 EP-3D, and Stingray. Also I am building a PA Bandit after my first one crashed on it's maiden due to a ESC failure. I'm also looking to branch out to DLG's at some point.

I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it more than the plane. I'm rough on them, but improving. This one will sit on a shelf until I've practiced a bit more.
