    Spektrum DX8

    I've got a couple of new fliers that have been poking around at my field... if one of them needs a TX I'll let em know about this. They are in the very early stages... but I try to convince people buy good at first, enjoy the equipment, and know it has good resale value.

    Cold Weather Flying Tips

    Being that I live where I do... the coldest weather I fly in is maybe 40 degrees F. Buuuut for us desert dwellers, that seems pretty cold.. more-so when there is some wind too. I don't like wearing gloves, so here is my secret weapon: A case of 40 pairs is $30 shipped on Amazon. You open...

    A little desert fun with my 74 yesterday. I've got maybe 20 flights on it so far and it's a keeper. Sorry for the tall video! My flying buddy is new to the smart phone thing, but as soon as he uploaded it he learned to hold it sideways next time lol. It's still pretty watchable in...

    Hmmmm... I have doubts about a company that works with imaging products and then their website has nothing but super low res images of their product.

    Seems like everybody at my field flies Castle ICE and are happy with them. Of course there was that short period of time where Castle admitted a problem and fixed all that were sent in.

    74" Edge 540

    My 74" went to the drive in the other night :popcorn: Actually I was putting on a 20x11 Mejzlik prop and playing with KE mix... didn't feel like carrying it upstairs where I usually work on them.

    Yeah haze grey is awesome for stealthy-ness... not so wonderful for orientation!

    That's some seriously nice custom shaping there! It was just a 480 line Sony PCB camera connected to some thin plywood by screws through nylon spacers... then another shorter piece of ply glued together perpendicularly in an L configuration. There is a HS-55 servo mounted upside down with the...

    I haven't seen that particular plane up close, but I've seen the engine assembly line when I was working on an engine sim test station for a different bird. I built a 63" FPV Reaper that has only flown a few times... it was good for super fast and long lasting flights, but overall was really...

    Amen... I've got the 1258TGs in my 74" Edge and they border on ridiculously fast. And for even more over the top goodness, I've got 1267MGs in my 70" Velox. Who says a 9 lb plane doesn't need 291 oz-in of torque?!?
