    Cost comparison, budget 60cc versus top shelf 30cc

    Now that is something to think about. I use solar micro servos and they have been great. The XQ look interesting

    Cost comparison, budget 60cc versus top shelf 30cc

    Great thread. I am trying to figure out what size to go myself. The question have is about servo's? Are the "budget" servo options really a viable option? I have no experience with them. They seem like a good deal from what I have read? This alone makes me lean towards a bigger airframe...

    Flying Withdraws Winter Sucks

    This sure has been a discouraging winter. :grumpy: I burned a new 50cc planes worth of propane above normal in the last 2 months. I also had to have my driveway plowed over a dozen times (drifting). Normally there is only a couple times a year i cant get through. I know one thing, when snow is...

    Flying Withdraws Winter Sucks

    It pretty bad when you actually think about picking up snow shoes. Just because you are tired of post holing through knee deep snow to get to the flight line.

    Flying Withdraws Winter Sucks

    Had a great time flying last Saturday. 10 deg and snow! Bad video due to the snow. I actually crashed because my thumbs were numb! It was good to get out and have a laugh--I should have posted this here in the first place...

    I will say that it flies better than the old version. I am getting really laggy video. My computer is not much but the old version ran great. Might be time for an upgrade.

    Hopper and Gonzo's snowday

    It was a great session for sure. It might have been better without the numb thumb and uncontrollable shivering at the end! The foamy's sure are a great thing to have. Flying in places and in weather you could not otherwise. You can't hardy hurt 'em!

    Hopper and Gonzo's snowday

    We got out to during the incoming snow storm yesterday afternoon. It was the maiden flight of shopper's new West Michigan parflyers Mcfoamy. 10 MPH wind and pretty heavy snow. It was a good time with lots of laughs. We stayed out for about 30 min. BRRRRRR! :thumbup:

    limited landing area. How big can I get away with?

    hopper This is where we will be flying out of. I am planning on adding runway out past the pine trees. Plus a more conventional runway crossway out in the feild in front of the trees as well. This should make flying any size airframe we want out of here possible. This thread really helped...

    The update to 5 is available. I updated last night. While the planes flew much better the performance was slow and glitchy on my PC where the old one was fine. I even turned the quality down. How long until the next update? Probably tomorrow. Lol! They are obviously working day and...

    Toledo Expo 2014

    Opps I better fix that! I will be down Friday as it is just a couple hours away. I think this will be an extremely good show for sure. The idea for this post was maybe to compile a list of things to look for. Especially the things we might overlook. Maybe have a short meet up to put faces to...

    Aj aircraft 93,73,56 laser

    I talked to AJ a few days ago (the pluses of social media). It sounds like AJ Aircraft will be at the Toledo show. No aircraft available for sale at this point as we now know they are currently in build. I am looking forward to the show even more now!

    Aj aircraft 93,73,56 laser

    Thanks 'Nater! That was a great video. GYRO The DM-3620-750 is right weight to fit the bill but that can is long and not recommended for hard 3d. Am I out of the loop? I want a laser baaaaad!

    What a bummer. I do wonder what happened? 4 has been almost glitch free for me. Sounds like it was rushed to market to me. Time will tell. Thanks for the info and keep is posted. Did you get the "c" update?
