    DLG is the #1 most addictive aspect of the hobby that there is. It's so much fun. It is a challenge, but man it's very addictive. I'm hoping to compete this summer for F3K flying (DLG thermalling)! And yes DLGs can do 3D as well guys, check this out...

    So I got my Futaba 8FG Super today in the mail, and I'd like to share what I posted on the other forum - a couple of my first thoughts and reactions. 1. Yes it is true. The 8FG feels solid and a lot better than my DX6i. It's very thin and a good weight as well. VERY comfortable. In fact, it...

    Not a big fan of F3A flying, pattern or whatever it's called :rolleyes: I've got another offer for an FPV setup. I should be able to make $150 off of this one... That bumps it up to $370ish. I've heard that there's some motor from HobbyPartz that does equally as well as the Omega 130...

    Only had one "profit" from an FPV setup so far, I only built one... I'm getting back into DLG and got a kit with that money. Thanks :) I don't think I'll end up with the balsa 48 though, it's more money than I'll be able to make. Either way, whatever I build with be epic, sooo.. :rolleyes: ;)...

    I got $50. I got $55 all together from my other relatives for my birthday, and adding that to the $110 that I made from YouTube, I made about $220. Still not close at all to the $500 mark. Not sure what I'm going to do about that ;) :) Dan

    Yipeee..... 8FG Super coming on Friday or Saturday. So I'll be able to play with it over the weekend. Can't wait to check it out. It'll be my first Futaba and first over 6 channel radio. Should be lots of fun. Glad that Fred is awesome and gave me a great price on it as well. :D :) Dan

    Alright I'll see... probably go with those for the ailerons like you suggested, then the MGs on the rudder/elevator. We'll see if I buy the 48 first though... :) Dan

    It wasn't just to solder, it was the effort that went into it to reduce noise from the ESC by making shorter leads, and I was going to put on a torroid ring on there was well, but that's not needed because of the LC filter. It's more than just soldering. Not to mention that the vTX, antennas...
