Thanks Bill,  I will probably order my fan unit from turbofanelectrics on 3/16. Am waiting for them to return my call and e-mail for info. I plan on...
I haven't talked to William lately, but somebody that knows him told me he had a motorcycle accident a couple of weeks ago. GUess he hit a tree pretty close to...
The Dick Coles Memorial "Big Bird" is over after 3 days and I averaged shooting about 30 minutes of video each of the 3 days. Link for vids is here. None of me...
I knew I could do a better job of it than the 1st attempt. Proof positive that with enough power a brick really can fly. They just don't land very...
Bill, Nice flight, good looking bird! You should save that last turn for your base line approach, and land with style points! ;-) ... -- Take Care, James Lerch...
Thanks James You mean you didn't get sea sick before the end of the clip? <g> Not my usual camera guy and I'll be nice and leave him un-named. ;-) I was...
My latest endeavor fared a little better than my last one. http://www.manatee-rc.com/Projects/Sabre.html  There is a link to the flight video at the bottom...
I finally worked up the cajones to fly my little Tamjets 1/12 F-16 today. The 1st 45 seconds or so of that flight was pretty intense for my adrenal glands....
Maidened 2 new jets over the weekend. Video 1 is of my Phase 3 Squall 4s stocker with video 2 of my latest Phase 3 EF-16 modified. These were not shot by my...
Bill, Those are two awesome videos!!! My 2w-20 f-16 doesnt fly as fast as yours I think the 2650 30C 4s isnt enough battery. May I ask what size your battery...
Hey Carter. Take that 2650 30c pack and stick it in a Squall. That's what I'm running in mine and it works great. I borrowed one of the Rhino 3700 4s 25c packs...
Listing this for a friend who bought it a few months ago and never got around to doing anything with it. Thought I'd give the locals a shot at it before...
If I were a gambling man I'd bet that MCRC was a swamp today after yesterdays monsoon. It was pretty wet at SRQ and it's on top of a big (for Florida) hill....
I'm nearing completion of my latest "project". A Phase 3 Squall with HET 6904, 3W motor, TS-52 esc and retracts. It hasn't been flown yet so there's no video...
Wow, Bill that sure does look cool!!! Can hardly wait for you to post the video of it. I am nearly finished with my Funjet 5S will let you know how it flies. ...
Thanks Carter Hey, I got another flight on the 2w-20 ef16 today. (hobby city finally got the 3300Â turnigy 30c packs back in stock) It was a lot easier to...
Hey Bill, I would like to take on your friends fuel powered pylon racer too. ;o) I would love to get my 2W-20 F-16 running again just need better battery....
Hey Carter Sounds like the funjet would be an even better alternative to running against the pylon racer. I think my 16 was clocking around 140 but don't have...
Hi Bill,  Thanks for the painting tips!!! I think the orange is easier to see in the air than yellow, that would be my second choice.  My F-16 is...
This is a forward of a message that went out to MCRC folks who went out today for a "shot at stardom"Â when Fox-13 news (Russell Rhodes) came out to give us a...
Thanks James. I set up my vcr to record the tv footage last night and hopefully it worked too. (figured I'd put it on the fly-in page when I get that far.) ...
Just a little reminder to the other electric flyers. This coming weekend (Friday thru Sunday) is the 5th Annual Zephyr elecric fly-in. I'm going up on Saturday...
I ran across one of these on rc groups in the fsw area and bought one. I haven't gotten around to building a web page for it yet, but there is a build thread...
