Well it has been a while since I posted a flying anything. I have several new planes and I updated the Hanger with most of them.
I have been working much of the last 2 weeks on my Clancy Aviation Stagger Bee. RCGroups thread here. The first two flights where more eventful then i had planned. [...]

I got some flying in today. It went great, flew around my old Tomhe MiG-29. I am doing alot of research on autopilots and designs for an autonomous uav. I am planning on building a flying wing and using the Ardupilot setup being developed by DIYDrones. It is a pretty nice system. I like the [...]

I received my new plane in the mail yesterday. I purchased it online and got an great deal on it. It survived the shipping just fine and looks amazing. It is receiver battery ready, just need the wind and I’ll be ready to fly it!

I have been working and playing wow a bit much lately but thankfully am burnt out on both so back [...]

Here are some pictures of some test glides of the scratch build Alula taken by my dad. Since these pictures the plane had one crash and after some fixes the proper dihedral is now in the wings.
On the slope today I flew it for real, for the first time. It was a bit windy but [...]

All I need is push rods and a battery and it’s ready to fly! looks great. Oh and paint might be a good idea too

As it is, the wingspan is 36 inches and the weight [...]
