    High Alpha Only!

    I have an autographed copy as well :D It is a great read. The layout is great. You just read the sections you want to learn about. Each one almost stands by itself.

    71" AJ Slick Building, Flying, and Questions

    Had a nice quick trip to the field this morning before my son's soccer game. New ProTek 20x8 prop now that the PTE is broken in good. Boy what a difference a prop makes. It went from being pretty squirrelly last week to smooth like butter this week. We got a nice tune on the motor and now...

    71" AJ Slick Building, Flying, and Questions

    Guys, after a 3 week absence I managed to spend some time out flying this afternoon. It was really nice to take some time for that. I flew the 48 edge 3 times and really enjoyed flying it pretty hard. I think I had some pent up flying aggression having not been out for so long. I did a lot...

    Discussion Long term planning: Getting into gas

    Any change in air pressure can affect your tune. So temperature can play a part as well as altitude and whatever the weather is like. It isn't as sensitive IMO as glow engines but you might gain some mileage tuning for winter vs. summer flying and if you move to a different altitude you...

    That is a true bummer Matt. Does this cast a shadow over your ability to get into an 89?

    Help! My hovering sucks.. help!

    So would you say that this throttle pulsing idea kind of goes back to your earlier idea about hovering being a move that requires constant attention? I am getting the feeling that you just treat the throttle like the other control surfaces. If it needs adjustment then adjust it and be active...

    3DHobbyShop 51" AJ Slick

    I have made gear for a 51 out of 3/4" x 1/8". Aluminum bar stock. A 3 or 4' piece costs about a buck fifty. All I did was bend it to match the original gear. Then drill some holes. Then paint it black. Then when 3dhs has the gear in stock you can buy it but the aluminum can tide you over...

    65" Vyper Discussion Thread

    Mike your magnets have broken loose from the can and it looks like they are rubbing on the base of the motor. This is likely the cause of your excessive heat. I had a similar issue with a hacker motor. I tried re-gluing the magnets with limited success and ultimately burned up the motor...

    Discussion Organizing RC events

    Our field is not in a bad location but not really great either. Our big fly-in event last year was attended by some people from Colorado, Idaho, California, Arizona, and Nevada. I think there were close to 100 registered pilots so I know some people will come from other areas but I'd really...

    Discussion Organizing RC events

    This question is geared more toward all of the Smiths and anyone else who would like to voice a response but I figured that Joe and Jim would have some knowledge and insight into it so it is appropriate to ask here. What does it take to have a successful fly-in event at your club and how far...

    2012 Eagle Squadron SpookFest Fall Fly-In Saturday October 20 2012

    Sounds like great fun. I wish I could be there. I feel pretty isolated here in UT as far as events go. All the fun seems to be in the South or Cali. We do have a few pretty awesome fly-ins each year but they are not geared toward 3d. Last year we had some guys visit from Colorado that...
