    3D When is a plane used up?

    I have this Pilot Extra 330 that is about 3 years old with probably well over 400 flights on it. In fact it's really made up of about three airplanes. A wing here and a stab there etc. It needs programming mixes about every 10 flights LOL. And of course it's my favorite plane to fly because I...

    Welders Help

    Not sure where to put this maybe the trailer thread would have been better as this is for my trailer. I am by no means a great welder but my welds are strong. I have a small Lincoln welder, no gas. The mask that came with it is old and broke so I went to Home Depot and got the most expensive one...

    Needs some input guys, I am thinking of trying an RCXL kill switch. I know nothing about them. Who has used them and does it just plug in between the receiver and the regulator/battery to the ignition? Safe product? Thanks, Randy
