hi Jose, I also have a DX6i but haven't had any trouble with it. Never heard of the kind of issues you had either but I pretty much fly by myself and don't get out much... Sorry to hear about your radio! I've never really figured out…

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

Keeping away the winter blues.................

Hi everyone, first off,.......the very best of the seasons greetings to you all.Just to keep the momentum going I have embarked on putting together a woodie Smooth Genie  Pro, from a box of timber supplied by Jim Ealy. Good looking ship and very well engineered. Had an easy week so began putting it together, have posted some pics of the fuse online.

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

Wicked composite gliders - decent prices

Hi guys,I just joined up after taking the leap off of my radian into a serious composite hotliner. My LHS Concept Hobbies has just opened a massive online store and they stock the most amazing composite gliders I've seen. I was told they get them straight from the factory. Mine flys like a dream.Check 'em out here.http://www.concepthobbies.com/new-composite-glider-rangeSoar you later,JozContinue

laminating film research

Posted by Eric on October 7, 2008 at 4:00pm 3 Comments

INTRODUCTION



This is a review of techniques and examples of covering EPP foam gliders with laminating film in preparation for building my FSD Kaze. First, a comment by Karl (Predator) who pioneered the "new stuff":

I have found an AWESOME new covering material! I think, so far. . . It comes…

Once in a lifetime

Posted by Eric on August 21, 2009 at 3:30pm 5 Comments

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:

BTW, my poly-S1-26 is quite maneuverable. I do rolls…

Birthdays

There are no birthdays today

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...
