Been wanting to get a real R/C Truck since I seen a Traxxas Video 2-3 years ago. Ran it today. It really is like a high performance race truck!! Watching it hunker down in the back and raise the front it like a muscle car coming off the line is awesome. Having a truck with this much power is every bit as fun as flying.
Sure was nice to buy a quality made product for a change. I could get spoiled to this. Of course for the price it should be lol.

Maidened the Electrify L-39 today! Was all worried about the hand launch but it went really smooth with a 16oz flying weight. Used a TP 1350 battery and stock motor. This is such an awesome flying little jet. I can't believe I waited so long to finish and fly it.

I really need to get a few of these finished and flying now that my MSR and UM P51 both need new motors. Disappointing.... for no more than they are vs what they cost.

C-160 could be finished in an hour or so. Just need to hook up the wiring and install the ESC's.

Great planes L-39 duct fan jet just needs a cover made to protect one one of the aileron servos ( was not in the box and can't order one) install the RX and finish the setup.

GWS Islander is still in the closet.

The Proctor Albatross is one hold. Don't want to spend $1000.00 on a V-twin Glow/gas motor right now and workspace is limited.
Most likely will go electric power since battery prices have come way down and going electric should solve the overheating problem these planes sometimes have due to the inclosed cowling and large spinner. Also will do away with running the exhaust out.


Copter X 450 heli - KDS Digital servo for the tail failed before while I was was setting everything up. Just need to install one of the analog servos I have laying around and get it flying

1. GWS Trans Cargo - First foam plane and I just could not build it stock. Did not like the foam look and it bumped and bruised to easy so i glassed and painted it. Came out a bit heavy but plenty of power on the twin stock gws 300H motors and 3s lipos.
Decided that I wanted to lighten up the plane and make it way more effiecnt so I am in the process of converting it to twin brushless park 300's and run a 2s or 3s 1320 pro-lites. One gws 300H brushed motor weights as much as 2 park 300's and i was running a 3s 2050 lipo.

2. GWS Islander Twin - Not started yet. Tossing the 300h brushed motors and thinking about twin park 250's on a 2S Pro-lite. Would like to build this one as light as possible so I could fly this one really slow. Would love to glass it and paint it red/white.

3. The BIG project. 1/4 scale Albatros DVa - Proctor Enterprises museum scale kit. I never would have bought this kit new due to the price but my wife happened upon this kit that was already started for nearly nothing and bought it as a birthday present.
I was wanting a Bipe and looking the at a great planes DVII electric and will most liking still get a smaller one while finishing out this kit. I'm not really in a hurry to finish it since I will have to join a club to have a place where I can safely fly this monster and find a way to transport it.
Fuse and lower wings are pretty are framed up and I am tring to decide on how to power this plane. Will either go gas or electric. Would like to go gas but need something along the lines of a 40 -50cc.
Was built for a 300 laser twin 4 stroke glow engine and I am not sure I will find a gas engine that will fit since I only have about a 7 inch circle inside the fuse. May get a little more room out the top but not much with the dummy scale engine in place.

Was going to go electric on my Albatros DVa, but just can't get over how sweet a 4 stroke twin sounds.
