    OpenTX is bada$$. Their Flight timer options is something I wish all radio manufacturers would adopt. On gas or nitro planes I still just us a basic timer but all of my electric planes I use the throttle % timer. For others that haven't seen it the speed at which the timer counts down is based...

    Decided to design and print some snow skis for the Crack Beaver since we just had 4" of snow dropped on us.

    So a buddy of mine built a 60” lazybee as an electric conversion. He loves it but thought it looked. Weird with the electric motor so he asked me to design a 3D printable motor to fit around his outrunner but look like an old COX .049. I think it turned out pretty good.

    A buddy of mine flew my crack beaver and loved it even though he isn’t a 3D pilot. He ordered one for himself and brought it to me a week ago. Got it finished up today and even flew it once before passing it off to him during my lunch break tomorrow.

    I will say from what I have learned flying gliders is they fly a lot different than a normal airplane.

    You would have gotten the plans from Pete over on FG. His user name was Mode1 and Rob AKA rcpilot82 still will laser cut short kits of Petes planes. Pete left the hobby before GSN was ever created though. Even Rob who talked with him on a daily basis can't reach him anymore. Pete had quite a few...

    Had fun flying the Crack Beaver with a buddy and his Crack beaver. Was all fun and games until I pulled instead of pushing when in an inverted harrier. 20 minutes and some foamtac tonight will have it good as new.

    I didn't like all the SFG's just being white foam. Taped them all off and took a black sharpie to them. I feel it cleans it up a lot.

    This is for sure going to be true. I've been looking hard at the 35" Fokker.

    Not sure if it ever did it here but I know RCG, FG, and the probro site any picture uploaded direct from my iphone without editing will post sideways or inverted. Generally I will just email or text the photos to myself and that resolves it.
