    How much longer is Horizon contracted as the JR Service Center?

    Looking and hiring are two different things. Any migration period will take a long time so as not to disrupt service...there is a lot to learn about radios and JR certainly cannot hire someone from Horizon. All repairs go to Horizon, or ones that are shipped to JRA are sent to Horizon. Any...

    The release has been pushed back again to late fall. Without going into too much detail, software validation is wrapping up and the manual is in-process. Please understand that this is a very complex radio and the development team working on it is very small. There should be a more in-depth...

    :encouragement: Great thing to have your kids want to follow in your footsteps. I never wanted to be in the construction industry, and I hope that my kids don't want to work in the hobby industry!

    Inside Flying!

    I know where there is a Cessna 170 for rent, Rob. :pride: I'm working on finishing my private now. I started flying at age 10, soloed at 16, and then stupidly gave it up. Dad sold the 170, flying became exponentially more expensive and I found myself wanting to fly more and more each day...

    Show us your bad ass plane!

    Anyone that knows anything about CL stunters would not dispute that gorgeous airplane being worth of being here. I am very envious of you guys' building and finishing skills. It makes pretty much every R/C builder look like a hack by comparison. Beautiful airplane! Thanks for sharing. :)
