Hi good people,
Just wanted to share a Fun Sail event with the North Florida ORCAS RC Boat Club and who invited me and my good friend Tony Lombardo. We traveled from Central Florida to meet with these dedicated RC Boat club members to experience their waters (Lake Park) at LOSCO REGION PARK located 10851 Hood Road South in the Mandarin area of Jacksonville.

I had a terrific time with two of my RC Boats and glad I came because I needed to work on both of these fine RC Boat Models that I have acquired within the past two years now and these boats always needs work for either making sure all systems are working correctly "or" appearance and scale work that might need attention.
Just a few pictures of my super LARGE PT311 (Torpedo Patrol RC Electric boat) that spans six (6) feet long.
The smaller and fantastic looking and running PT boat is from an RC Club member from North Florida ORCAS.

Hello good people,
There is a discussion thread over in the Electric Plane Talk section and this blog is just to record my very first flight of my new Dynam SMART RC Electric Airplane model.
Please note that this is NOT a beginner RC Model even though it does have some qualities and characteristics of a Trainer but, it requires someone with intermediate -to- Advance RC Pilot skills. Why? Because this model will give you two Snap Rolls for FREE when you even don't expect it, depending on your control settings.
First, allow me to provide you with some fantastic pictures made possible by my good friend, Gerry Rivera (simano) and who also, provided the Video Capture of today's Maiden Flight.
Okay, a few pictures......
Oh, yes, it is the largest RC Foam Model that I have ever flown and the best flying one at that!!!!
In the first flight, I flew it like I stole it and was very comfortable in rolling it very close to the ground and almost stalled it with high Alpha flight and got very close to the bushes far end of the RC field. I saw the shadow of the model right on top of the bushes!!!!
My buddy Gerry told me NOT to push the envelope so, I took it easy
This thing flew slower than a Slow Stick!!!!
I used the Spektrum AR611e Park Flyer Receiver, my Spektrum DX7 (older model) and Turnigy 4-Cell, 3300mAH, 25C Lithium Polymers. I believe Dave (dbc) changed out the ESC to a 45-AMP Black Label no-name job and did excellent!
A few pictures!

Guys!
We were sitting around shooting the gums (talking) under the shelter roof of the RC Club as we were watching the wind socks (both digital and fabric) and wondering how the wind got so high in such a short period of time.
As I was contemplating on leaving to the Candy Store with my Sky Bro, here comes Wayne Mendez with his family in his large SUV and was giving them the tour as it is a long weekend (Labor Day).
I looked at the wind socks and decided what the heck!
It flew in perhaps 10 MPH winds and they were not steady!!
