RE: FILTON Rogue 3D Bipe ARF

Flew my Rogue for the first time, yesterday. I'm running a Himax 2808-890. What a dissappointment. It flies the plane, but that's all. Way underpowered. Himax claims it will hover a 25 oz....

RE: AMA Convention 2004-Who's gonna be there?

Prediction for r/c future?

"I will never be like you freaks."

You people ARE sick. I have a shop full of airplanes, engines, flight packs and tools, only because I'm worth it. I can stop anytime I want.

RCX Show in Anaheim

If you are planning on visiting the RCX show in Anaheim, save your money if you aren't a car guy. It was the biggest waste of time and money you can imagine. Lots of things to see for the car guys,...
