Just a reminder about ice guys. A few years back the trusty Xair was rather icy so we left it in the sun to warm up. After about 50% of the rime ice had gone I...

I thought I'd mention my first few flight on my QuikR. I braved the cold for two flights. First flight 20 mins and second about 40 mins tonight. Both flight...

"…..a poorly executed" landing. Think we've all done that. (There is the possibility that I may have done one, once) It's just that 99.99% of the time,...
