    EG 100cc Slick 540 from Aztech Aeromodels

    Nice, I really would miss my telemetry. Comes in handy and saved me a time or two. I was a futaba user for 15years and they make nice stuff, but the lack of telemetry in a affordable TX a couple of years ago lost me. It was meant to be temporary, but I found a happy place. :)

    Electric has really made RC a lot more popular up here... I think it is partially that it is less intimidating then the old glow day, plus no tuning. It is definitely more affordable for beginner planes then when I got into it 20 years ago. At 13 I took a good portion of my fishing pay to buy...

    Just got a DX9 and have just started to wireless buddy box with my son's dx8 (my hand me down). He just turned 11... wish I started him earlier.

    DM 5335 (50cc size Electric) made by Subsonic Planes

    I've had reduced power output with all of the Edge series I tried. Anything after firmware version 4.02 on the Ice has yielded the same lower results. The output has been reduced as much as 20%, but usually runs between 82-85% of max output. If you have a Ice series and are seeing lower...

    I just started putting them in the fridge if I don't get to burn the pack that day. Got a mini fridge just for batteries. Supposed to slow degradation... Best right above freezing.

    By keeping my batteries warm before flight I get normal runtimes all the way down to -15F. The generate heat on their own and stay warm during flight. 35F is nice, but usually brings wind here. Prefer 15F, clear and calm.

    Good luck Gary... I would like to hear what you think of the hs-5565mh servos. Speed looks great and torque appears high enough where it wouldn't see any blowback.

    Well it started out as a hold the cowl together until I get a replacement from EF... but as started sanding I realized how strong I made it. So I took a little more time sanding and sanding. I built up the cracked areas with epoxy by filling in the cracks and getting into the fiber that was...

    Well finishing up the damages from when I put the 60" extra this weekend. Before paint- you could see all the cracks it sustained during the crash. I wanted to get a before pick but forgot. Not the prettiest, but it passes the 5' test and is as strong as ever. It looked nice and smooth before...
