Oh dear.

Oops. I promise I'm not bothered. I'm just that way I guess (from my years of writing/proofreading instruction manuals maybe).

Surely Lonnie, the "Tallman" is on my calendar and I plan to attend.

Tim

Hey Lonnie, thanks for the early announcement and the head's-up about the Mike Tallman Legacy race. It's on my calendar for sure! But say, and it doesn't really matter, but wouldn't this be the 4th Annual Mike Tallman Legacy Race? I remember the first one clearly because it was my first Q40 race whe...

Hi Kurt.

I dont have an answer, but a question: My question would be how does the color of the plug look in both of these cases? I suppose this would be another part of the puzzle needed to answer the question.

I saw those close-up at the race at OJA last weekend. They are beautiful.

Tim

Damn! I was thinking of doing a plane in flat clear. Beat me to it. Looks fantastic Kurt!

....Love the time period correct-looking markings too!

This one's been done for a while and seen at a couple races, though I haven't raced it yet, just getting the engine broken in. It's an APP Sweet 1. This time I thought I'd try the single-stage (hardener in the paint, no clear coat needed). This requires wet-sanding with up to 3000-grit sandpaper to ...

Well, the 2018 F5D World Championships is all over. I'd received a couple reports from Jim Nikodem and seen a couple posts on Facebook from Trey. In the two-day, eight-round Open contest the guy's times were dipping below the 60s, but the weather must have changed and they had a hard time finding th...

I've taken the liberty of posting the results of the Takikawa Cup; the two-day, warm-up, open contest prior to the WC. Entrants typically consist of friends, callers, extras to those competing in the WC. Unfortunately, it looks like the number of contestants is down. Usually you'll see the Russians,...

Looking fantastic so far Chris!

Tim

Simple. Elligant.

I love It!

Tim

Another stunner Kurt!

Tim

Thanks Don. We have the parts. I just need the plans at this time. I was already provided a pdf of the fuse and wing, but apparently they are reduced because when I open the pdf to view, the resolution is poor. I printed one out on 8-1/2 x 11, but they are unreadable. So I don't think the pdf I was ...

The Estrellita and Shark EF1 cuts will be specific to the plane model. The wing and tail parts are different enough that it doesn't make since to have a single kit. Here are the plans for the fuselage and the built-up wing. I have additional photos of the wing building process as well as video. I w...

About five years ago I flew to San Diego with a bunch of F5D batteries (2S and 3S 1800mAh packs) packed in my carry-on transmitter case (alongside my transmitter). I also flew to Austria and Italy with a GOB of same size batteries - so many that I had one case for just batteries and another case for...
