Finally, the Blade Lives Again!

Yep, tonight I put in a couple hours of work on my Blade CP Pro and install a new Main Shaft and a new Tail Boom...another $9-10, and she's ready to fly again, Yeah! Maybe tomorrow even? Hmmm, that would be too cool. I'm so wanting to fly a non-simulated helicopter again :)

Have you joined the AMA yet?

You should. The organization is here to protect the hobby for all enthusiasts and membership has its privilages...like the Model Aviation magazine; a web site full of useful information, tips, and even model plans; And, most RC club airfields are AMA sponsored, which means to be a member or to fly at their AMA sponsored events, you need to have a current AMA membership.

I didn't join until recently, but I love the magazine and I've already flown in one fun fly event, the yearly RC Airshow in Banks Oregon at the OMAS airfield. I flew my HobbyZone Super Cub with another aviator who flew his GWS Beaver. We put on a simple little cub show including some slow and low flyby's over the runway and several touch-n-go's. The audience was more impressed with the warbirds...but, we didn't care...we had a good time anyway. I took some onboard video of our flying:
