    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    There is a JR dealer called DeForce I believe. I have a 6ch specky just to have for the BNF planes out there. I think we all agree about the seller, which is just hard to ignore, but Jeti does make a good product although they are indeed expensive. I know youre a winter flier so one thing to...

    Looks SWEET!!!! Cant really help you on the radio choice. Where I love the reliability of Futaba, prices are getting up there. Graupner seems to have a good thing going for them with the MZ32 (price and features... it's the best IMHO, plus they seem to be listening to their customers) 1 - MZ32 2...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Been thinking about designing and 3D printing some ski's.. . because I can. My experience with most ski's is that they are too small to stay on top of the snow. The Dubro skis are a measly 9" and about 3" wide. It would be a lot easier to make them out of carbon I think. Which reminds me, I...

    NEW Hitec Servo! HS-488HB

    I think it's a bold move for them. Universal servo teeth means anyone who has MKS, ProModeler, Savox, Futaba, ect can switch to the mighty Hitec without getting a different servo arm. The D series is a splendid update to say the least.

    Discussion The I’m going out flying thread 2018

    Finally went flying, temps just below 50F, slight shifting breeze made it kinda unique and fun, no rain! got about 30min of flying with the 73" laser on the new Redline Oil. I must say it doesn't smell as good as the STHL Ultra. Engine sounded great after the first 10 min. Didn't have to adjust...

    16 gallons of glow... WOW I used to go through about six before switching to electrons and gasoline. I go through about 5-6 gallons of gasoline each year and I only have two 35cc planes! I so wish I had a field to fly at all day in the summer... who knows, maybe one day.
