    What are you going to build in 2015?

    Well I pulled the trigger on an Aerobeez 70" Slick today. Pretty excited, all of my buddies fly Aerobeez (some are team pilots) and nobody has complained about it, plus the Aerobeez guys I know are pretty rad ;)

    GSN Thanks New Advertiser, White Rose Engineering

    It's more worth it to me to spend the extra coin and get a product that is not only pretty much the highest quality you can get, but is also a genuinely Made in USA product, something that's not going to break on me, or that isn't cheaply cut out. Real American made products are getting harder...

    SOLD! Precision Aerobatics XR-52 LPU San Diego area

    I have a brand new, never flown PA XR-52. No problems with the airplane at all, just tired of dealing with the company and no longer wish to own one of their products. Airplane is mostly assembled, control horns and cowl have not been mounted. I have an iPA package (sans servos) coming in the...

    Lipo Disposal

    That information came straight from a lithium battery engineer (he doesn't do forums unfortunately). The cell membranes are designed to insulate and protect against moisture and not even a salt bath can penetrate them. It does however eat the terminals right off of the cells, which gives you a...

    Lipo Disposal

    The proper disposal of a lithium battery does not involve salt water. The acidic salt bath will corrode off the terminals on the cells and give you no way to verify how much energy (voltage) still resides inside of the cells. It can happen very quickly as well, sometimes in just hours depending...

    Help us make an Old man smile

    It's actually pretty simple to convert a glow airplane to electric. The first thing you generally want to do is decide what kind of flight performance you want out of that airplane. Since it is a sport airplane and your old timer friend may not be into the ballsy 3D kind of power we generally...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    In all honesty, the Aurora 9X is a LOT more powerful than the 8FGS I had and I'm much happier with this transmitter. The lack of channels is really only a minor setback as there are channel expansion systems out there that can very easily solve that little inconvenience. I love the ease of use...
