Hitec Aurora 9 vs Spektrum DX6i equipment 3 Replies
Hello everyone, I'm the new kid on the block. Thank you for accepting my membership...I look forward to reading a lot here. Since I have been out of RC for a while, I guess I could start my residency by asking you all a subject that I know could be heated. Just before Christmas 2011, I purchased a Spektrum DX6i and a Parkzone Radian. I went to the field and flew the Radian for about 5 minutes (it was nice and docile) when all of a sudden, I lost total control of the airplane. Now, I know I…Continue

site change coming 1 Reply
hi guys, I'm going to downgrade this website to Ning Mini which costs $19 a year but limits the functionality. Very sorry to do this because I love this website, but it's really too expensive for me to keep going as we are.About six months ago Ning raised the price from $20 a month to $25 and the expense has been weighing on my conscience for a long time... if I were on the hook for $10 a month I'd probably let it ride. So next week I will call Ning and see if their prices are negotiable.Just…Continue

Once in a lifetime

Really every flight is once-in-a-lifetime because each is different and if you fly often a lot of weird things happen - but this was eye-popping.
When Randy Carr (fatlion.com) told me that the DAW S-126 is one of his all-time favorites, I decided to restore my S-126. Here's what Randy actually said:

Welcome to RCGliderAndSailplane.com!
I moved to Boulder, Colorado in '07 for health reasons so I fixed up my old DAW S1-26 and bought an Easy Glider Electric to help me unwind and get business off my mind. Having lots of fun learning to fly again after years without... building FSD's Kaze and teaching my kids to fly with the SuperFly. I enjoy building these social networking websites in my job and thought it would be fun to put this one together for glider pilots. More about me...
