    You may be addicted to RC if...

    That's one of the best shops I have seen but where are all of the planes? I have to kick them out of the way to get to my workbench. You know you are addicted to RC when you have completely run out of storage space and you crash some planes on purpose just to free up some space and have an...

    Favorite and Most Trusted RC Vendors

    I wish I could add my LHS (Hobby Hangar, Chantilly, VA) to the list but they are not currently doing internet sales. These guys sponsor a dozen events or more each year and I can honestly say I have never found better service anywhere.

    Need recommendation for 3d EPP foamie

    I just finished a RC Universe Flat Out Bipe and it flies really nice but I don't recommend it unless you are really into jigsaw puzzels. That was one painful build. Get a profile plane with a minimum number of parts, you're going to crash it anyway so make it easy on yourself.;) Oh yeah, I...

    Discussion Long term planning: Getting into gas

    I have given some thought to building a gasser but just not sure I want to make that much of an investment in a plane that I know I will prang at some point.:D

    Old Farts Thread 50+

    July 1951, I know I'm qualified... New here, just signed up and really want to thank the Admin for hosting such a nice site. I may be old but I bet I can still learn something.
