Lions have to remind themselves they've actually seen 2 Apollo capsules & the Apollo program was a bigger childhood fascination than the shuttle. Most humans are lucky if they just saw the Apollo 11 capsule on tour. Lions of course covered a shuttle, too.

Car time again!

This was given to me by a relative of my ex wife. It spent time collecting dust on the shelf, since I did not know what to do with it and did not have the Super Motivation (pun) to use it myself. Eventually, it turned out that my cousin wanted an RC for his young kid. YAY! Good reason to go ahead.

As usual, I went over the car, cleaned it, checked for damage, adjusted things and then tried it. With some fresh batteries and some cleaning, it worked, but pretty badly. I though the batteries were the problem but after lots of experimenting including some LiPO attempts it turned out that the LM-406FB ESC just did not want to work - sometimes it would, but it would just drop and stutter during load. I tried different motor, servo, RX, batteries and another ESC and it was always the original ESC that refused to work. I took it apart to look for broken solders or faults but did not find anything and then it died completely on me. In went a Tamiya TBLE-02 and suddenly the car went muuuuch better.

Among other things I did was to adjust the servo saver which had a horrible slop in the neutral position, which made it impossible to drive straight. After that just general work like tightening screws, cleaning etc. The original plate that held the ESC was cut and glued to make a splash-proof ESC room in the chassis.

And, the chassis. The car is surprisingly nice to drive - it is after all a close (carbon?) copy of a Tamiya TL01. The only thing giving away the cheap...Continue Reading

Intriguing news about a Falcon 1.9 being planned for after the main development of the BFR is done. The Falcon 1.9 would be somewhere between the Falcon 1 & never realized Falcon 5 & provide an alternative to micro launcher startups. They want some amount of it to be reusable, maybe all of it if it uses raptors.


It means they're finding these micro launcher startups really are going to impact their business by filling a niche that the BFR can't: small 1 off satellites going to unique orbits, which can't share a launch with hundreds of other satellites or wait for all the other satellites to be ready. It also means major parts of BFR development could wrap up sooner than we think.

This is my take on the Eachine Trashcan

Eachine Trashcan Good value how to set up throttle scale (20 min 5 sec)

HK Prime Jet pro - project is moving forwards ..
A little more work and the foam bits will be glued ..
It did require some thought , as one needed to re-design it for a EDF ..

Also the wing for Ripit Rev 2.? or Rev3 ( Havent decided yet )
But the wing is moving along ..
Depron and foam glued together ( laminate ) ..

Windy and warm / hot .. A whole week of it !

Those bits at the end were two big triangular balsa blocks! Rather than planing them I use my little table saw to cut them about in half and then sand them. Yes, they were THAT big.

The fin has three one and one-quarter inch holes cut with my drill press and a slight warp. What can one expect after 30+ years? I expect it will come out with a little encouragement when I cover it. Onward...

Does anyone know if the umx Habu S and the habu df parts are interchangeable Iv got the yellow umx habu and can’t find a fuselage anywhere but I can find the umx Habu S fuselage on eBay but don’t know if it will fit has any body tried

I recently purchased RealFlight 8 Horizon Hobby Edition along with a Spektrum WS1000 USB receiver. Being a big fan of Spektrum's SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope), I wanted to pick up the only flight sim other than Phoenix that has HH planes and the SAFE stabilization included.

First I spent some time with the Spektrum WS1000. I wasn't sure what to expect out of it at first, but I learned that it's a Spektrum receiver that presents the radio channels (8 of them, as far as I can tell) to Windows as a standard game controller/joystick device.

Binding the WS1000 to the transmitter is a bit of a challenge, as you have to hold down the bind button on the WS1000 while you plug it into the USB port in order to get it into bind mode. But once you get the WS1000 into bind mode, it binds with the transmitter just like any other Spektrum receiver.

Once the WS1000 is connected, it presents the channels to Windows this way:

Throttle (Spektrum channel 1) = Y-Axis (DirectX Input: Y)
Aileron (2) = Z-Axis (Z)
Elevator (3) = X-Rotation (Rx)
Rudder (4) = X-Axis (X)
Gear (5) = Y-Rotation (Ry)
Aux1 (6) = Z-Rotation and Button 1 (button is pressed when channel is at -100%) (Rz)
Aux2 (7) = Slider and Button 2 (GetSlider(1))
Aux3 (8) = Dial and Button 3 (GetSlider(0))
Aux4 (9) does not appear to be mapped

You can see the channels in action pretty easily using the control panel in Windows. On Windows 7, go to "Devices and Printers", and you'll see one called "SPEKTRUM...Continue Reading

It all started with a phenomenal chuck glider. The plan was to transform the glider into a RC plane. I've never built a plane before. A little plane didn't seem overly ambitious. My feeble attempt flew like a wounded duck. I salvaged the parts, swallowed my pride and went on to build something more conventional. This time the components are recessed into the wing and fuselage of the basic glider. That idea seemed straightforward enough. Mounting the board and servo between the wing and fuselage wasn't that easy. The plane needed to remain balanced too. The combo receiver board has two onboard servos that are connected to the elevons. Another servo was added for the rudder. The servos are in line with the control horns and the push rods have no slop. The control surfaces have quite a sweep and are 100% of the trailing edges. The flat trapezoidal wing has a 3 degree forward incline and no dehireal. I have had only a few flight sessions because of unsettled weather. I was mainly looking at how everything behaved and made adjustments to the transmitter settings. On my last outing I had problems. The motor had been slipping in the mount and had been turning little by little. Finally, the wires behind it twisted together so tightly that a short occured. The motor became blazing hot and it fell off. I'll be eliminating the mount and gluing the new motor further back in the fuselage. Glide tests actually showed an improvement so I don't need to fiddle with the CG. Hopefully the new battery for my hat cam will arrive soon and I'll have a video to post.

Hello, we are HypeRC, a startup out of Southern Florida. We plan to revamp the the style and design of RC cars by utilizing a creative approach in things such as suspension and aerodynamics as well as using high end materials such as carbon aramids and 7075 aluminum.

Not too long ago, I picked up a Hobbyzone Champ, RTF 20" wingspan airplane. I use my DX7s to fly it in the back yard. So far I have about 7.5 hours on it and am liking it alot. For me, it is the perfect back yard flier plank. Of course I love helis, but you can't beat the Champ for relaxing, 12 minute flights, tooling around in the back yard. The little ship has STOL capabilities, that means it needs very little space to take off and land in. I have fitted the model with 1.5 inch dupro bush tires, and use a welcome mat for an airstrip to take off of and then land it in the grass with the bush tires. For the snow, I've fitted a spare set of landing gear with snow skiis and take off and land on the snow. Or hand launch and land on the snow, with the skis.

This morning I was flying over the snow and the temp was 5 degrees F. My wife took a video of the champ in flight. I was doing 8's, and circuits. I flew for the normal 12 minute flight and then landed in the snow on the skis. Of course, I was wearing a wool cap and using a TX mitt :-)
