Well I had an absolute blast this weekend.

Their was an Full Scale Fly-In that me and my dad went to ...

We met a couple of Foambusters and other RC fliers their. We were standing buy Chris Woodwards J-3 Cub when he asked if I wanted to go for a ride. I said yes ... signed a waiver ... and got in the air !

It was really fun , and I even got a little stick time. It was so fun and I hope to do it again.

I then got some good flying in today at the flying field ....

I will post video and pictures when I get some more time ...

What an awesome 16th birthday ...

Cool Hobby Lobby AMX Rc Plane Flying (3 min 17 sec)

My friend got it airframe only and put Hobby City gear in it.

Here is some video , but it losses a fan in flight. It landed safely and I got it on video.

I also turn 16 Thursday ! ! ! ! ! ! ! That mean a heck of a lot more flying !

Parkzone T-28 Rc Plane With Smoke Bomb (2 min 58 sec)

I tried out my new glider.....

It didn't have enough power , but I was using a small prop , so I will use a bigger one.

The Firewall didn't hold after a couple minutes in the air it came off.

So I need to fix the damage and remount the firewall. Not to bad , at least I know it will fly.

I also used some Wing Tape on my Pylon Racer to make it easier to see , I almost have the right power system , I just need to order it and install it.

The AMX jet had an issue , on my first landing of the day , a crosswind got me and made me over correct causing the plane to tumble.

It broke the nose off a little and the wing tips.

Upon inspection on the nose I found it needed to be replaced , so I found an old nose cone and I am going to paint it yellow and glue it where the old nose was.

I finally finished converting my glider/sailplane. It ain't pretty but it should work.

I had to put the servos way far back to balance the plane , but at least they work. I need to get a new folding prop , the one I am using doesn't fit correctly with the spinner on.

I hope it will thermal semi well ... if not I will take the motor off and get a real sailplane.

I also got a plane in the mail today ! Its a Hobby City Mini Swift ... I thought it was a neat little plane and it was cheap , so I got it.

Next project ... Pylon Racer

I was flying Sunday and a friend of mine crashed his DC-3 ..... so I made this video about it.

Bad DC-3 RC Plane Crash ! (2 min 14 sec)

I got a lot of flying in , and no damage to report. I killed a Li-po , it dropped a cell in flight and hit LVC , so I order two new ones two replace it.

I am getting closer to finishing the glider , all I have to do is figure out how to get the servos farther back ...

I ordered a Hat Cam so more videos soon.

I got some EPP foam , some spackle and went to work.

I first cut out all the expanded ,shrunken and melted foam out.

Then I cut out a piece of EPP the size of the hole and hot glued it in.

I got the Spackle out and covered the foam.

I then sanded it down until it looked good and I was pleased.

Paint wouldn't have helped with discoloration , so I didn't bother , I just put some stickers over it and now you can't even tell.

Well , what do you think ?

Well on my last flight of the day .... DISASTER !

I was flying and just after take-off I lost power.

At this point I did really think it was a problem ... I was wrong ...

The landing was perfect ... better than usual , but as I was looking at the plane while bumping the throttle I noticed some white smoke ... OH NO !

I flipped of my hat and sunglasses knowing that they would fall off and RAN to the plane.

I arrived shocked and dismayed at what I saw , smoke coming from every part of the plane. I looked to see what the battery was doing , and if it was safe to touch it. If was fine and I unplugged it and ripped the receiver out and let the smoke die down.

I then took the cowl off and found the aftermath ... the ESC completely burnt to a crisp , darn Hobby City ESC's.

Their was some damage , a hole in the side of the plane , and some burn marks , nothing to serious , I thought it was pretty funny.

I think the problem was that the ESC did not have air cooling , but I thought it would be ok because of the fact that it was a 40 AMP ESC that I would probably be only running at about 20 AMPS. I was wrong.

It will fly again ... now all I need is a sticker to go over the hole in the fusealage .... anybody have any ideas ?

I got to the field with my dad at about 7:30 , it was already windy and I really couldn't fly what I wanted.

I flew my T-28 four times , and my Reno Racer twice .....

As I was packing up , a good friend of mine named Bruce arrived and gave me this plane !

He said a guy gave a bunch away and he thought I would like it. Its a PYLON RACER !

What a nice thing he did.

Their were also some other planes , and I picked out a glider body , and a glider wing that I will fix up and get flying.

If you have any information on these planes please tell me !

I finished my Reno Racer ... I got my batteries and finished it up.

It flies ok , but the motor is giving me some troubles , sometimes it does weird things , but I think I figured it out. I need to order a better ESC.

I also got the new motor fly my Sukhoi from Headsuprc , I hope it works !

I also am going to upload some pictures of how I turned my T-28 into a taildragger.
