Just to let everyone know, I got a Email from HC about "Cyber Monday" and they were blowing out Flightmax 2200mah 20-30C 3s packs for $11.99!!! This is an amazing deal, and im tempted to get some, even though they are far too weak for what I would use them for! Like my old man taught me, j...

I'd like to see how one of the NEU 19XX would work for this. Given they are far too expensive to be justified, they could be a good way to get the absolute most out of the smallest batteries possible. Something like a NEU 1902/4Y comes to mind... Lee, I know this discussion really belongs in the Ope...

Hey Lee, i've got a question or two for you. If you don't mind me asking... For a 6s system, what type of current would you expect to draw to acheive 17.5k rpm? In other words, do you think you could get by with just 1800mah batteries as long as you were at exactly 17.5k? Or would the time be too ma...

Lee, i'd like to see a video of your mini-falcon flying! It looks like it could be a very fun plane to keep the reactions sharp. And I know you're good and all, but don't you think it would help to fly with two propellor blades instead of one [:o)] PS, could my stryker compete in the parkflier comba...

A few thoughts 1) I lost one streamer on launch sunday, it got wrapped around the starting stand on launch 2) My dad has data from multiple running contests (in fact, every one I flew all year, which is unfortunately only 3) that suggests I score better when flying with eric, and he averages ever so...

Justin will be missed at our meets as hes always a calming presence to have around. Some how you and Lynn manage to have the classiest dogs i've ever met, and he was a notch above the rest.

I experienced a first for myself this weekend, and perhaps a first for all time... Bob's plane flamed out, and while he was gliding back in to try to restart, i of course tried to get a cheap shot on his streamer. Well, just as he got over the main field, he ran out of height and the plane landed. W...

Mike, where would the fun be in doing what everyone else does? [;)] The tendon on top of my second toe was exposed, but not ruptured. No damage to speak of, just a flesh wound. Plus, chicks dig scars right? So it should help me! Interestingly enough, the sandals i was wearing (nice call bob) didn't ...

I personally feel if its what you want to use go for it. IMO you won't cut streamers as effectively with it as either sticky-stuff or carpet tape, so thats a price you pay to go green....i mean clean. I also would be thinking of a lot more things then the leading edge of a plane when it was coming a...

One should note that the only reason PBG felt the need to stand in was because he wasn't crashing his plane for once [;)] It was so much fun, and i wish i could have gotten more of it on video. The night flying was interesting. Also, getting some of andy's helicopter stuff would have been AWESOME! N...
