For me anyway

Remember If you are flying a Drone (Multicopter), do not disturb the locals.
They will fight back

Pilot of rare plane forced to make belly landing (1 min 1 sec)

Well this is my first blog on RCGroups.
I have been asked buy a number of people about my PVC Pipe Stands I use on my planes and boats.
So I use PVC Pipes and joiners to make my work stands and also for storage and also for transporting my planes.
So in this first post I will put some photos of my work stands and what I make them with!

I then cut another four pieces of PVC (8"in this case) to the length you want to hold the fuselage or wings of your plane. Then glue these to the top half of your ends. I then put four caps on the ends of these four pieces to cap the end (this is not a necessity). I also use rubber insulation pipe over these to protect the plane against the hard...Continue Reading
