    Share your ideas for safe pre-flight and flying

    I've been thinking about safety lately and while I consider myself a pretty safe pilot and follow a routine when starting my planes, I'm always aware how one little moment of distraction can lead to blood and stitches...or worse. I start all my planes on the ground with a tail hook, and I've...

    Canopy Refurbishment/Repair

    Over-Thick Control Surfaces

    I have the books written by Dave Scott of 1st US R/C Flight School, and I have also read an article by him recently in Model Airplane News (I think) where he references this idea and I am curious what everyone else thinks about this: In these resources Dave proposes the following 2 things...

    Share your Trailer Ideas Here
