What did you do RC today?
I'd like to start a thread for us to chit chat about general RC stuff we do on a daily basis, like things that don't fit anywhere else or aren't worth starting a new thread for. There can be a lot learned from this type of thread by seeing what other people are doing and asking how they did it or where they got it.
So basically anything RC related goes - if you bought a new plane, bought parts, started to build a plane, finished a plane, repaired a plane, balanced a prop, cleaned your shop, built a new plane rack or work bench, found a new tool that works really good, went to a swap meet, anything... go ahead and post about it. If you did something to a specific plane that is posted in another thread, post a link so we can go check it out. |

I sell EzFlys and other Dollar Store foam planes to finance my hobby - whatever I make in a month becomes my RC budget for the following month . ![]() If you haven't already , consider adding LeadFeather's Yak 55 to your build list - it's a REALLY nice flying plane ! Here's mine :

That sounds fun too! Depending on what area you're from, Arkansas has some beautiful scenery. The farthest I've rode is 9 miles on a $79 walmart mountain bike and my son was on a little $20 16" bike I got at a yard sale. It was a fun day.

NW Ark and it is fairly flat here. My longest day was 128 miles. I have been to Tulsa twice, about
a 100 ride each way. It is nice to have computers to track miles, in the past nine years I am just over 40,000 miles. I have lost 110lbs. I started on a $88 Walmart bike at 318lbs. I have about $20,000 worth of bikes in my living room. My Grand daughters race for Felt, and they ride $20,000 bikes. They each have two bikes. |

Interesting thread. I tried to give my nephew a 10 minute lesson on flying RC using the sim. I didn't realize how hard that was. I also broke in two new batteries. That usually takes half a day. Charge/discharge 5 times at 1C, each cycle takes about an hour with 15 minutes between for cool down. It was family day so I darent fly without the wife's blessing. We might have a picnic at the field though this week so I can maiden a new plane.

Good for you man! I have been trying my hardest to get my father-in-law on the bike for health reasons. I don't have $20K in bikes any more but the two I have (Specilized S-Works Tarmac and Kona Jake The Snake) I will never get rid of. -MM |
