I fly both FPV and line of sight. I use the same aircraft to fly FPV that I previously used to fly line of sight(in this case a foamy glider). It did not cease to be an rc model just because I put a...

The AMA defines it as line of sight with a spotter. As a beginner in FPV,I do not want to be forced to go fly outside of my club setting without fellow modelers there to share the enjoyment and help...

Agreed. But spotting for an experienced FPV pilot would be more akin to spotting for a competent line of sight pilot when there are multiple rc planes in the pattern. This is typically done with...

I'm more of an airplane guy,but I've got a Stampede 4x4 and an SCX10. The Pede is brushless and "waterproof". I use quotes because running any rc in water and mud increases the risk of premature...

RE: H9 Pulse XT Brotherhood

Mine has held up very well running glow fuel. You might test it to make sure a little gas splatter isn't going to melt it. But I did a search and found the idea being shared in the giant scale...

RE: H9 Pulse XT Brotherhood

Tim,
You may already know this,but you can dress up the cowl around the engine with some screen door spline. I did this on my Pulse 40 and it looks good(sorry,don't have a photo handy). I bought...

RE: H9 Pulse XT Brotherhood

Yeah I'm not sure what happened to the O.P.
I bet that 125 is fun with the DLE20. That's the first I've heard of a Pulse running gas. I have been considering a gasser. I love how they sip the fuel....

RE: H9 Pulse XT Brotherhood

Very cool! I didn't realize you had the new version of the Avistar. They've made quite a few changes from the old version I have. Mine has a one piece wing,held on by rubber bands. And lacks the...

Only advice I can give,is to get in lots of flying. I don't know how proficient you are with the Avistar,but I'd suggest mastering it first. It is a very capable airframe,and I was...

No mixing. When I first started flying it,I set up dual rates,but have since changed it to full rates with a good bit of expo to simulate the dual rate experience without having to flip a switch. As...

I fly an XT 40 equipped with O.S. .46ax,Futaba servos(3004's I think),and just recently switched over from Futaba FM to Hitec 2.4ghz radio. I've flown this plane for maybe 3 years now,and have really...

RE: How mount GoPro Camera on Trainer

Yes,standard lens. I was filming on the 720 at 60p setting for that video. It also has a 1080 setting which gives you a noticeably better image with less fish-eye,but only 30 frames per second(which...

RE: How mount GoPro Camera on Trainer

I don't know about the best way. Probably depends on what view you are going for. Some people mount the bare camera directly to a smooth surface via a good quality velcro. I didn't want to risk a...

RE: Poll: High winds this weekend, Who flys in the wind?

I generally look online at the wind speed and gust speed. Prefer to fly in gusts below 20,but I voted 25. Depends on the occasion(like if I've been looking forward to it for a month for example). The...
