Instead of flying today...

...cause my gear is still scattered from the winter...I watched an old video of me flying :)

Hobby-Lobby is selling this FPV kit for $549

Check out the system and some video at their web site.

Wish I had the extra cash...First Person View would be cool.

Flew the Super Cub at the Elementary School Field 2 and had a great flight...

Took some video...Here is about 3 min of the 8+ minute flight:

Just watched a great video

...and I wanted to share it. Check it out for some great 3D flying!

Flew the Super Cub at one of the local elementary schools...see favorite places in the right margin (#2). It was near the end of the day, still sunny, but cold. I gave the video a negative look to match the music -- to try to make it look like a night shot. My HobbyZone Super Cub is 14 months old and still going strong...what a great plane!

Finally...after a weekend of no flight activity, I get a chance to fly! I wanted to fly somewhere different, but I only had time to fly at my tried-n-true duck pond. Below is some video of the flight. On landing, I misjudged my surrounding and flew my Super Cub directly into a soccer net -- all things considered, it could have been worse. It actually seemed to be a good way to land :D


Blogger's been erroring out on me for hours now...I tried posting this for two days, now that it's 12:11am :(

Two Days and No Flying...

I've had my batteries all charged, but things like work have gotten in the way :D -- I know, that's terrible, huh? Letting something like work get in the way of R/C, that's ridiculous.

But, I did find this great video and info of a Sopwith Camel ARF. I'd love to do my own review of this plane...anyone from Green RC Models or Powerline Hobbies want to send me a loner?:

Missed my chance today...

Over slept and then had to help get some kids, who missed the bus etc., to school...Then I had to work :(

Then...it rained and got breeezy...and then, it got dark. Oh well, tomorrow's another day.

Found this video today...very cool:


Please send me your suggestions for my next plane...see below.

I flew at a new field today. It's near the duck pond...which is my favorite place, because of the scenery...but, you need to change it up sometimes. Plus, there were a lot of people enjoying the duck pond, so I thought it best to go where there weren't so many people.

Here's the video:

Flew the Super Cub this morning...here's the video:

2nd Cub Flight Today...

Got video of it too!

Finished my download of the IRCHA 2007 video, Finally!

It was worth the 2 days of downloading...so, look below for my previous post, if you haven't already, and start your download today. Or, if you find a friend who's already downloaded it...copy their DVD (that would be faster).

Lots of impressive 3D flying. My only critique would be, "Where's the scale heli's?" there were a couple stills of some tables with scale heli's on them, but no video of them flying : (

This video was all put together by the people at HeliFreak.com...so, if you liked this...you should check them out and support them:

FREE IRCHA 2007 DVD torrent

Go to this HeliFreak forum to get the info and torrent file: http://www.helifreak.com/showthread.php?t=44166&page=37

I've been able to download the "teaser" video, that is part of the this torrent, and there's some pretty cool stuff. I can't wait to get the whole 2 hour DVD downloaded...but, my internet isn't that fast, so it'll be a day or two :)

I took the teaser and cut out all the chatter, leaving only the heli's...and here's that video:

Flew the arrow flight again today...

I had a spare 20 minutes to go to The Duck Pond (see link in the right nav) and fly my arrow. After flying, it seemed like such a nice day, that it would be a shame not to film it. So, I made this little 3min film, enjoy:
