Jul 2, 2009, 10:28PM Due to a radio failure, honest, I have to get a new plane to be used for 3D and sports flying. Since the parkflyer size model is taken care of its a larger model, 5S to 8S is the range. Leaving aside price, transport and ease of build issues, though... [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 5:56AM I am in Texas and it gets over 100 degrees Fahrenheit regularly in the summer. The winds are dead calm but still no one is flying. I got started in this hobby in the middle of winter and understood with the cold temperatures and high winds every day... [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 7:00AM so my 36 b-day is coming on the 18th. she says "what do you want?" I said "omg, RC PLANES!" so now she asked for a list and the websites to go along with the items. I can't decide, lol. I have a PZ T-28, HZ super cub with floats and a Trex 500. [#]

Jul 2, 2009, 3:47PM Guys, I got this knife sharpener from the utensil section of Walmart for $8. Works real well for X-Acto blades, and you don't have to worry about holding the blade at an angle, as you do when using a stone. And no need to pay $25 for a blade sharpener. [#]
