Dynaflight PT-19 or Fly Baby. Before the evil empire purchased Dynaflight, they had some cool large scale planes. So sad.

I'll have to inventory all my stuff from before, but I think I already have most of the items you suggested. One thing I really need to add to my workshop is an el-cheapo drill press. Makes...

I think for now, I'll start working in the garage. I had the garage mostly cleaned out, but a year ago I got married. New wife found the garage is an ideal place to throw things that she doesn't...

Thanks for all the replies. I'm sort of leaning toward ETpilot's solution of starting in the garage and switching to the outbuilding later. I won't be getting a separate meter, so I'll end up...

Where to put a work shop/work area?

I'm getting back into R/C after a few years layoff. I've got a few kits in my inventory I want to build (GP Slowpoke 40, GP Pete 'n Poke, Sig Astro Hog) and I need to get a work area ready. I've...

RE: Instructors say thumbs only

Not to confuse anyone, but I have always flown with thumbs. When I started flying helis, I found it was better to pinch than thumb the sticks (I used a neckstrap). To this day, when I fly helis, I...

RE: Park Flyers, What do you expect from the AMA?

Ah .. I see .. this is only entertainment to you, instead of a discussion or dialogue. You're just basically arguing for the sake of arguing.

Sorry to have intruded and tinkled in your...

RE: Thinking about pursuing the hobby, What will I need?

Didn't notice anyone mentioning the AMA membership as a require item. If you're going to learn to fly at a club, it's a pretty good bet it'll be manditory. Allow 2-3 weeks for processing, so make...

RE: Park Flyers, What do you expect from the AMA?

Would having an e-field in a crowed area create a potential field day for ambulance chasers? I'm concerned about the potential huge liability from having lots of older children/young teens flying...

RE: YOU CAN'T JOIN AMA

Just my 2 cents, but what's the big deal if they won't take it over the phone? Just do it on-line, or fax it, or mail it in. Sheesh! Maybe Geico does it differently, but the AMA is not Geico. If...

RE: Bureaucracy expands, ditatorship grows, self preservation stronger.

Great looking group of kids. I remember my days of learning to build/fly - a local dentist who was also the local R/C 'nut' held classes at a local boys club for those of us that wanted to learn to...

RE: Has RCM folded?

MAN is probably pretty happy - they're now getting the giant multipage ads from Tower/Great Planes, etc, that used to go to RCM.

I agree, tho, that they now look like a subscription version of...

RE: Tower Trainer ARF vs. Kit

If it flies, it ain't ugly.

My son is wanting to learn to fly, and although he hates the thought of building a kit, I'm gonna have him build one. I built my first plane (Telemaster .40) and...

Amazingly, it is back on line. They're paid thru the middle of May to the web host, so you never know ..

RE: Has RCM folded?

I could be wrong, but I've seen this before. As a long veteran of the trucking industry where this is quite common, what it appears they're doing is trying for a forced bankruptcy. Basically...

RE: Has RCM folded?

And that brings us back on topic .. for RCM is there life after death? Or has RCM been in a coma for the past year? Maybe it got knocked on the head and has amnesia. It might be in hiding. Who...
