    REDUCED! BME102, freshly rebuilt by Tom at BME $445

    @Ryan Gromfin @myfivezees @witchfingers Sorry to keep you guys hanging but I'm going to have to keep the BME. First of all, it's bad ass and it's paid for! Second, I lined up a product review this past week that is going to need it so I might as well just keep it and get it flying again. I'm...

    not sure if i should laugh or cry, or just censor/ban the word REGISTRATION for a few months I'm going to try to have faith in the AMA and trust that they are working on this on our behalf.

    FAA Announces their rules for radio controlled aircraft

    that's not what's happening, the FAA published a new "Rule" today saying all unmanned aircraft, including RC planes, have to be registered starting in one week. It's a free process and you register as the pilot/operator with your registration applying to all of your aircraft. There are some...

    FAA Announces their rules for radio controlled aircraft

    If the FAA does nothing more than this than it might not affect us very much at all. If they start charging for aircraft registrations then it becomes a nuisance. Worse though, if this is just a first step and the registration requirements become more complex and/or restrictive for hobby users...

    Sport CARF Pitts - Engine Upgrade

    My mistake, it was CA Models, never heard of them and confused it with CARF, also they didn't call it an S1-11, they called it by its full name SUper Stinker Sorry for the thread drift!

    Sport CARF Pitts - Engine Upgrade

    speaking of a CARF Pitts, did anyone ever own a CARF Pitts S1-11? There was a banged up one for sale a while back and I think it's still in the guy's garage somewhere in Jersey.
