Before you plunk down your money .... you might want to read about them in the threads here (Clubhouse ) on RCU .  Personally  I've never ordered from them, but alot of people that have done business with them have been left  with a bad taste in their mouth, and expressed so in print. Read first then decide if you want to try your luck. Just my two cents worth.

I'd recomend you check out Hobbypartz for something similar..www.hobbypartz.com

Also I'm sure your aware of Smith Brothers in Northridge, there's something to be said for in person service!

Alltumbs and Mike,

WOW!!!! Thank you so much for keeping me out of the crap that appears to be Banana Hobby. Seriously scary reviews.

Thanks for the alternatives.

      They do make for some interesting reading don't they ???

Interesting indeed. I met a pilot at the field last week and he told me he only buy the frame from BH and that sounds like the way to go. I guess the electronics are the problem with them...I will never know for sure because I am never buying a full plane from them because it sounds too risky.

Everyone have fun at the BBQ this weekend...Vegas is calling my name.

It was a great day for the Grand Opening of the improvements to the Park Flyer facilities at the Basin!

The morning started calm and relaxed.

Preparation for the celebration got into full swing. Thanks to Dan Zilliak, Ben Elkouby, Gary Stevens, Chuck Thompson, and all who worked hard to bring this day together.

Bob Tarlau was the announcer for the day, and the honor of turning on the new charging system was given to Willy Gardner for all his hard work.
The improvements to the Park Flyer facilities were conceived, designed and implemented under the leadership of our past President, Jason Pakfar.

It did not take long for flyers to start to make use of the new facilities.

It was a beautiful day with great weather and was enjoyed by all.

Does anyone know how many people are going to the night fly this Saturday.

saramos

Unfortunately, the Night fly at the field this Saturday has been cancelled. Parks & Recs has told us that they will not issue a permit for an after dark event at this time.

Wow, that reminds me of the old Johhny Carson routine. How broke is the city? They are so broke, they can't afford nighttime.

Yeah I know..Abo****ely ZERO

What a crock of S__t!!!!!

It cost them absolutely nothing to allow that event, the park police are on duty any ways and there is no other personaell required.

I love the basin, lived here all my life, but Californai and it's BS is about to drive me out of here.

Thanks for the great video. I couldn't be there so it was very nice to watch the video. Thanks again.... Alan in Fresno

Just a note to let the local guys know that we have Tam's Strut upgrade for the E-flite 15-25 retracts (HABU 32 !!) coming in this week.
We will also be supplying MEGA 6s and 8s motors to fit the stock E-flite 80mm EDF. The 6s motor isa slightly hotter kv than the E-flite motor. but the resistance is less and the motor is longer (cooler operation)

You can save some $ by picking up locally in Valencia, or when I come down to the basin.
We have a HABU and two fan units for testing.

Thanks, Gary

That is impressive Gary. I just watched the video on the all alloy fan unit. WOW! I will be calling you when I get my Habu

Thanks,
Billy

efflux RC

Thanks Billy.
I just ordered a couple of MEGAsfor the 8s setup. I'm offering the motor for the stock fan, as a lower cost option for more speed. The other currently available 80mmoption is $550 for a fan and motor. (very nice, just lots of $)Once the Habu airframe shows up here, well look at the possibility of fitting a larger fan unit as another option.
