    First Question?!?!

    Ya the bigger planes are easier for sure. I can do them with my 48 edge but it is a lot harder. My 51 slick was a roller machine RIP ;) My 70 slick hasn't done too many yet as I'm still getting used to it but early indications are that it is going to feel a lot like the 51 only a bit easier.

    My FB was only built this summer and has only around 10 flights on it. I had to learn the hard way what air leaks in your fuel line will do though... Thanks to Steve T it is flyable again :D

    Honestly it still makes me a bit queasy when I get my 70" slick into a belly in hover but my method hasn't failed me yet (knocking on wood). It's like my old band teacher used to say. If you can't nail it every time in practice you have no chance in a performance. For me this is where sim...

    The formal mission statement is still in development. However, I think you have the right idea about the principles this is all founded on. Stay tuned!

    Maybe you should consider selling that airframe before you head out of LPU range ;)

    Your welcome;) I can't take any credit for the vid except to know about it's existence. Losi lives over 2k miles from me. That is one of the great things about social media... Our ability to connect with people that are so far from us but share our interests. It has been great getting to...

    Ya bipes usually cost a bit more and this one has a lot of new innovation. Unfortunately I don't have the cash for it either.

    Pierre la poone is killed!!!!

    Well if it starts sucking too bad here I'll just go back to the turf farm from whence I came :) I sure like landing on that big paved strip though. I'd hate to give that up. Especially on the small stuff.

    Couldn't you just go to 19x8 or even 20x8 to get a better vertical climb rate?

    If I held my mouth right I could get the 51 slick in the back seat of my saturn with the wings on. If you can't do that with your SUV you bought the wrong truck ;)

    I actually think about belly in hovering sort of the same way as flying inverted harrier when the plane is going away from you. Push the rudder stick the way you want the tail to move. It is a small difference in the way you think about it but it works for me. So if the canopy is toward me I...
