    10cc 3D gasser --- An exercise with a VH Sabre-X 51" and a Evolution 10GX

    Matt, why didn't you tell me about this? Awesome! Subbed.

    Who would be interested in an entirely new type of competition?

    The idea came to me while I was reading your old guide to aerobatics and I read that the Decathlon (at that time) was an Unlimited class airplane. Also, the idea of the 4-minute "free." It's very different in IMAC vs. IAC. In IAC, a free looks more like an unknown, and in some cases pilots...

    What do you guys want videos of?

    I expect in a few weeks, once I get a chance to get out and fly. Right now all of the fields up here are still covered in snow.

    Who would be interested in an entirely new type of competition?

    Thanks for the kind words everybody, I'm glad to hear that there is a lot of interest in something like this! The next step would be to draft a rule book and a set of sequences, then hold an informal first contest somewhere and see how it catches on.

    I have run the standard 6014, 6008, and 6004 on HV with no issues, and many other people have as well.

    Who would be interested in an entirely new type of competition?

    So while at the IMAC judging school yesterday I had an idea that I thought would really resonate with the crowd here. Right now, there are a lot of great 3D pilots who have a competitive drive to get better and better, but have no competitive outlet. Who would be interested in a scored...

    Question/ Discussion- IMAC- Downsizing Airframes and Airspace?

    That sucks to hear. I can tell you that that's not the case in the northeast. I have won Unlimited flying a 50cc ARF competing against professionally built Cardens, and I have been beaten, while flying my Carden, by someone flying a 100cc ARF.

    Question/ Discussion- IMAC- Downsizing Airframes and Airspace?

    There are two things that will make 30cc more popular in IMAC: rules that require or reward them, or 30cc planes that outperform larger planes. The fact is that the IMAC community has already invested in large airplanes and the means to transport them so it will be difficult to get them to...

    Separate capacitors on receiver? To use or not to use?

    Great work Pontus. If you are having brownout issues, you need to upgrade your batteries, switches, connectors, or BEC. A properly operating radio power system should never drop more than .5 volts during hard use.

    WRAM 2013: 3DRCF Event Coverage and Member Experiences!

    It was good to see you at the WRAM show and catch up Jim. Thanks for your advice, I will keep it in mind as I move forward. SEFF was a blast for me last year and probably one of my most important events. I have heard that unfortunately a lot of the people I had a great time with will not be...

    WRAM 2013: 3DRCF Event Coverage and Member Experiences!

    Had a good time at the WRAM show catching up with Noll, Arron, Joe, Jim, Chris, Glenn, and James at 3DHS. Was great to see the DA 35 and DA-70 and catch up with all the guys at DA as well. As always Lee and Colton were a pleasure to fly and hang out with in the cage, Horizon is lucky to have...

    Looking at a 60" class plane

    Many, many people are extremely satisfied with the 4315-480 on 6S with a 15x8. A Castle Talon is a great ESC as well.
