Still some more light blending needed but our pilot is sporting a new uniform and some new moves big chears from the back row.

I hear that the bushfires in New South Wales now are at a point where several of the worst of them have combined into one gigantic "mega fire", of around 400,000 hectares, which is near as nothing to a *million* acres... that's not one large area that has some fire in it, that's a million acres that is burning. That's a serious conflagration. 680 homes destroyed, in NSW alone, this season so far. Even more shocking, 6 people dead already from it. What more is there to say about that?
I heard about the fires in California this year, they were especially bad. As you can imagine, we understand and sympathise about this type of fire. We've seen the devastation and known what it can mean to people, to families and communities. It's very difficult coming back from something like that, maybe hard than just going through it the first time.
So that million acres is the worst of the fires in ONE state. Last I heard recently there were large fires, many out of control, burning in FIVE states, and we've only got 6 plus a couple of territories (admittedly the Northern Territory is very big, bigger than some of our actual states). I live in Western Australia, the biggest state, and it IS a biggie. Right now big fires are raging in W.A. but not to the extent that they are in NSW or elsewhere, but there's nothing to stop them reaching that scale. It's happened before near here because Perth, where I live, is built on the edge of a forested area and the outskirts region we call &...Continue Reading

Ok this is my Phoenix Female Pilot doing a bit of a belly dance to a tune I remixed. This was version 1 which took a day to render but Nagas has motivated me to make it more realistic so now we're talking over a week. That includes some rc flying time too

I got my hands on a Detrum 6C and took it for a spin...It has some very cool software features like built-in stabilizer configuration.

Detrum 6C Flight Testing and Configuration (34 min 4 sec)

Messing with some lighting tests in order to redo my music video where i use this pilot who's not too bad on the eye.

Still not quite realistic enough but i'm sure you're all looking at the pic of me with my brand new FMS Futura EDF Jet

Has anybody out there in " rc group land " ever get involved with replacing a blue led light on the " t switches " on the joystick box of the saitek x52 ? My number t3 is out. Does anybody have a " fix it manual "? Any help is always apreciated!
Thanks in advance,

For those who may remember, when I was building models for the Phoenix Simulator on RickP's thread, I always added a female Pilot.

Here's a more realistic rendering of her. Need to redo the video i did with this setting. will take about a week to render

This is my unboxing for my new E-flite F-15 Eagle 64mm EDF Jet.

E-flite F-15 Eagle 64mm EDF Jet With AS3X & SAFE Select Unboxing (8 min 2 sec)

Review Notes for this Beginner EDF Jet:

Pros:
- The paint scheme is nice and colorful
- It comes BNF Basic with very little setup required
- It is a RC Smart Jet thanks to optional SAFE Select
- Flies on popular 4S 2200’s. Some say it will fly on smaller packs just fine too.

Cons:
- You have to glue it
- Poor turning radius
- No rudders

Better late than never. Thanks to Nagas for pointing this out.

I use to contribute 3D models to the Phoenix thread on here and here's a render of the best of what I produced during that time.

Now that I know I have this will have to add more later.

So I am new to this, so be easy with me. I have a Carbon Z 150 and was given a brand new Hitec camera. I would like to attach it to the airplane. I am just curious from one's that have done it. Where is the best place to mou t it and do I need to do anything special? Thanks in advance

Ever get the feeling you should put the transmitter down and go sit in the peanut gallery the rest of the day?

I've had to use this in the past about not receiving an item. It worked for me. An officer from his town contacted me. I sent all emails, private messages, photos and contact info that I was given. I got my item back but not the money order. The item came from a different address. I contacted the officer and gave him the other address.
