Videos!!!!


The following two Videos is Carter showing the real capabilities of this fine RC Airplane model. The foam is the best density and very smooth! It does not look like a Foam model due to the dense EPO Foam and the hardware and Electronics plus the Stock 3-Blade Propeller is the best he has seen. Go Nitro Planes!

Another Fantastic morning over at MOON PORT MODELERs RC CLUB!

The wind did not blow until 9:00am and it was not bad so, I stayed until 10:30am!

Flew the large EPO Foamie P-51D Mustang by FMS MODEL and she went up for three (3) super and wonderful flights.

Gerry took some super Digital Pictures of Carter's new Dynam SR Trainer while it was in flight and landing with his super nice Digital SLR camera.

You know I am a big warbird fan, but I really like the looks of that SR trainer. I would be have tempted to buy one.

A few of us came to Blue Jacket Park and enjoyed perfect wind conditions (Zero MPH) and cool without any strong Sun beating down! The clouds were scattered so, good amount of Sunlight still allowed good visibility.

A few pictures of the good time all had.

Good news guys. The article and photos I did for Monster Planes is in the new March 2011 issue of Fly RC Magazine. I haven't seen it yet but they are advertising it on their website.

Hey Carlos! Very nice Zero, I'm a fan! And from everything I read the zero turns into one of the best flying RC warbirds. I wonder if this one is any different.

Planning on flying tomorrow at Blue Jacket, or partying late tonight? I'm planning on going out there in the morning to fly my new Radian Pro, wouldn't mind some company

Jason,

I am glad that you are having fun with the Radian PRO and flying it over at BLUE JACKET.

I am afraid that I will not make it anytime soon.

Perhaps, I can meet up with you on the 6th of January over at BLUE JACKET and I will bring my Radian.

Have fun!

Hey Guys!

I see that Hobby-Lobby has a P-47D Thunderbolt for sale at $119.99 and it is by ESM.
[link]http://www.hobby-lobby.com/p_47_thunderbolt_arf_1033366_prd1.htm[/link]


It is lighter than the new Park Zone P-47D and has retracts and has 41 inch wing span.

Also, at 27oz. you really do not need flaps on this one!

Looks like Friday morning is going to be perfect for RC Airplane flying but, the temperature is pretty chilly....

I will try to make it to Moon Port Modelers in the early morning and if I don't freeze up my fingers then, I will attempt to fly late afternoon at Blue Jacket Park.

Drop me a text before you head out to Blue Jacket, Carlos. My wife is on call all week so it might be hit-or-miss, but I'll try and meet you out there if I can.

Hi guys!

Just wanted to share some hard work that occurred throughout the night and I finally installed the Kyosho Monster Magnetic Mayhem 22-Turn and took out the Stock boat anchor Speed 600!

I can not wait to see how fast this motor will propel this large and heavy car!

Here's the Thread!

Gerry,

Just to let you know, I checked the forecast and it looks to be pretty much DEAD CALM as @ 0800 hours it calls for nothing over 3-MPH winds with 72 degrees F. Last time I went it was DEAD CALM all the way until I left at 0835 hours as I had to go to a meeting at 0900 on Tuesday morning.

Friday morning is perfect as I do not have any obligations in the morning so, I am taking advantage of the perfect flying conditions.
http://www.usairnet.com/cgi-bin/laun...=KTTS&state=FL

Hope you can make it and if not then, I guess another time.

If you can make it then, I will bring my new SIG SENORITA to fly again as she is such a Graceful Flyer / Trainer!

Some pictures for the rest of you !

Good morning All!

Last night NASA rolled its last space shuttle stack and Atlantis out to Pad 39A for its STS-135 mission (Last one for Space Shuttle Program).

Of all the times I have been in the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) and on the launch pads, seeing the Orbiters up close, I never thought of a last time.

Last night was the last time.

From home we could see the roll out on TV and the west side of the VAB, it rolled out the VAB east side.

The last time a space shuttle will be on the launch pad…

Also, super early this morning, I witnessed Space Shuttle Endeavour’s last landing. It crossed the equator before landing! At 28 degrees north latitude, the equator is a long way from here in a jet aircraft! It was approaching at the speed of a rocket! The twin sonic booms sounded like my neighbors fired two large cannons in rapid fire and the sound rolled for a long time over the river such as loud thunder clap does.

Once Endeavour landed on the runway you could see the Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) still firing and this can be seen in the NASA Landing APU picture attached.

It was helpful in seeing Endeavour for my last time as a powered up space ship.

The next time we see Endeavour it will be a museum piece.

And it is another beautiful day to be alive!

Happy day to you all!
Carlos Marin

Guys,

Seems like this site and thread needs a little update!

After perhaps several years, I finally came back to fly my models (at least my Wing models) at the KARS RC flying field. I have been back but, just to scout the area and look around. However, on Friday, October 21st, 2016 I came determined to fly something here.

It was a very unique feeling flying here with all this isolation! I found myself alone and only human for miles!
