Well I flew my RCPowers F-117 today, with the KFM1 airfoil. I purchased the F-117 as a Kit with the power combo from Grayson. Here is the report…
First Flight: Although the CG was perfect the lift from the KFM1 was a lot more then expected. Gave it full up trim for the hand toss and [...]

I been thinking of all the different projects I could do and I came up with this one. To be made out of 6mm Depron sheets, an MiG-31 Foxhound. Still need to go through and set up spots where the parts join together for easier assembly. Files are available on RCGroups - (RCGroups Thread)

I was down at this flying field today and was talking about recievers when John told me about Todds Models. You have to “Join” his team, which is free and create an accound. Once you do that you get some amazing prices on several things. I was able to get the AR6300 for $42.99 usually [...]

I have tested out the E-sky gyros (EK2-0704) available from NitroPlanes, link usually on right below menu, currently for $19 (12-28-08) in two different configurations so far. First test was on the elevator, second test was on the ailerons. Here are my findings.

Aircraft: Wildhawk (Easystar equivilent powered sail plane) (hanger)
Gyro: Elevator
Setup: The plane is completely [...]

Last night, or maybe this morning, i received an email from Tomas Hellberg (homepage) (flickr). I commented to him about how impressed I was with his planes and he gave me info on his site. He has several really nice looking planes there for download, all free. (tiled pdf, full pdf, sketchup and cad files)

Flight of the Fokker D.7 (hanger) went great. After sorting out the issues in controls I took flight alone at the field. The controls are very sensitive and after what seemed like hours, likely just a few seconds. I put on duel rates and got her all trimmed in.
Flying pretty fast I was worried about [...]

Well yesterday was interesting. I found out probably the main cause of my troubles with the Fokker. It seems that though I made sure everything worked good, I did not check the direction it was all going. So the Ailerons and Rudder where indeed reversed. That issue is fixed and the damage from yesterdays flight [...]

It was really clear out this morning so I got the ice off my windshield and went out to fly. It was the first time flying with the extensions on my plane and It was great. I had so much control over the plane. I got in a few flights and many other people arrived [...]

I got the paint off as much as I care to sand it off heh. And I added extensions to the rudder and elevator. I am working on a color scheme have not decided yet. I think i may wait till I get the ailerons setup before I do a paint job. I need a [...]

Well I got myself a WildHawk from Harbor Freight. There is so much you can do with these planes and they are a joy to fly. My first impression was that the CF spar that goes through the wings is a pain in the ass to get in the first time. I put some WD-40 [...]
