Hi guys, I've started window shopping for an electric glider for a(nother) possible UAV project. Perhaps in the 7-9 ft wingspan range. Built up construction a must (kit would be ideal). Capable of ...

Just finished off building* assembling this HK SBach 1000mm. My first aerobatic "crunchy". 1040g RTF w/ 3S 1800mAh. Call me biased, but damn that is a nice looking aeroplane. :) Not quite so sur...

Question for all... I've got a few props made for a 1/4" (~6mm) shaft, which I now need to fit on a 8mm OD prop adaptor (swapping out the Park 480 in my little SBach with something beefier in a last ...

Was a "tentative yes", but looks like I won't be able to swing this tomorrow - might squeeze in an early visit to Area 51 if open. Hope you guys have a good day out!

Good luck Frank. Couple tips from the Pogo: for the maiden, use a gentle run-up, keeping it on the ground longer than you think you need to, rotating gently. Be prepared to use a good chunk of right r...

Were the remaining supplies left somewhere for those of us who didn't make it to the field, or was there just a crazed aeromodeller power supply feeding frenzy on Sunday? :)
