I just got the Alula in the mail. Many thanks to grandpa for buying it for me
Anyways, I immediately looked up designs for the plane (is it a plane or a wing?)

I saw many creative designs, but decided to go on my own for this one. Since I live in America, and it's an awesome country, it seemed like a fitting theme for the Alula.

Currently, I am done with the tail. The wing will have AMERICA going across it.

Here are some rough draftsss

Today we held the Warbirds over Livermore at LFERC

Here are some pics!
Unfortunately we had four crashes, three major and one minor
A rarebear stalled after too much elevator input at slow speed: loss of airframe
A T-28 stalled after too slow: Damage but fixable
A huge 1/4 scale electric came in hot on landing and overshot runway, flipped and broke rudder and motor mount
A 1/3 scale Fokker bipe lost radio signal just after takeoff, complete loss.

Other than that, the event was amazing!...Continue Reading

I just traded my VIP pylon racer and my Dx7se for a Dx8 and some batteries!

I LOVE THE DX8!

Im working on modifying it, ordered a lipo from hobbyking (they are on backorder!)


So far, i put on the orange fuel tubing to tell the dual rates switches, and a clear blue one for the throttle cut on the back.

Here is mine! I have....
Corona 939MG Servos
E-Flight Six-Series Brushless 2700kv Motor
Hobbyking Red Brick 50A ESC (opto)

For the covering, I used vinyl. Used some my friend sold me!

And here it is. Goes about 90mph, 100 downwind. It might not go very fast, but has UNLIMITED vertical!
