    RedwingRC 50cc Extra 330sc Model Aviation Magazine Article!

    Today is the tedious process of reaming the ailerons, rudder and elevator hinge pockets. Wetting the hinge pockets, protecting the hinge pins from epoxy and gluing it all together. Camera battery is charging. Photos will be along later. Build day will be cut short as I have 2 assignments due...

    RedwingRC 50cc Extra 330sc Model Aviation Magazine Article!

    I decided to begin the build today. I am still waiting on the replacement cowl but that could be awhile as Redwing is shut down due to the flooding going on in their area. In the mean time I can get everything else going. I put it on the stand today went over all the joints with CA and...

    Ok, so our wet and windy (and chilly for us) weather for new year's is no match for what you have in Alaska. Still going to be no-fly until Sunday.

    I never thought about that but it makes sense. Cold air sinks, so if you are lower than the glacier, you would always have that cooler air mass moving towards you.

    Hook up that 5th wheel and come on down! Going to be chilly this weekend (mid 50s) but the winds will be light.

    I am on a neighborhood forum called Nextdoor. Ideally it is used to keep residents appraised of safety and security stuff relevant to the area of San Antonio you live in. Unfortunately, it ends up being a gripe outlet for people with nothing better to do. (They went on and on for 2 weeks...

    Right back at you both. I can finally start the build of the 50cc Redwing Extra 330 v3! Although I am still waiting on a new cowl.

    I like the green apple color. I have it on a 30cc Pilot Extra. What are putting under the hood Xpress?

    3 weeks! Sweet. I would be afraid I would enjoy that way too much and never go back to work. Have fun Mike and Merry Christmas to you and yours. Bill

    We seldom ever get into the low 30s. When we do, we wait 2-3 days and it warms back up. One of the things I enjoy about South Central Texas.

    Same to you Bipe! Just got back from flying today. Sunny, 80 degrees and gentle wind from the south. No complaints here.

    Registration of UAS

    I figure if the AMA is successful in getting the FAA to go with the AMA numbers (if that is their intent) then I am already in compliance. If they lose that argument, then no harm, no foul. I have my certificate and the new numbers on my planes. Unlike a lot of people on the "other" forum, I...

    Registration of UAS

    Contrary to what AMA said, I went ahead and registered today. Got my 10 digit FAA number. Then went to B and E Graphics and ordered my numbers in 3/4 x 5" size that would fit along the trailing edge of the aileron on my gas planes. For the electric and smaller nitro planes I will whip up some...

    Registration of UAS

    I find it rather hilarious that the UAS registration begins today and the FAA website isn't working. Probably the same sub-contractor that built Obamacare.
