Snap is Snapped Up!
By: SleepyC on 11-19-09
Well it looks like the most recognizable force in Giant Scale RC has finally been SNAPPED UP! (Pun intended!)
Elie "Snap A Saurus" Houayes is undoubtedly the most recognized Giant Scale Pilot in the US and beyond. His amazing spirit, energy, charisma and flying skills have made him the center of the party for many years now. Strangely enough, he has remained an independent, an unsponsored pilot.
Elie and I even joked about this over the years, saying "I wonder when a company will be smart enough to Snap up the Snap A Saurus!?!"
Well that time is NOW. Our good friends Jeff, Dino and Rocky from Thunder Tiger spoke with the Snapster and it looks as though Elie will be flying a 37.5% Thunder Tiger TOC Yak for the 2010 season!
So congratulations Elie, and more importantly congratulations Jeff and Rocky for recognizing and grabbing the force known as SNAP A SAURUS!
PS: Elie, this in no way negates your Flyinggiants.com 100 year drawn in blood contract and sponsorship!! ::Read More>> | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Ok.. so we usually don't do big birthday announcements on the home page.
But in this case, I'm making an exception.
Seth Arnold is a "Pro" pilot that Flyinggiants.com has basically watched grow up on our pages.
We watched Seth go from being that "Kid with Stick", to the E-TOC champ, to one of the most recognized pilots in RC. And Seth has made this transition with nothing but class, amazing sportsmanship and professionalism.
So I know we are a day late.. but...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SETH!
We hope the... ::Read More>> |
Building Season hits the North of the US.
By: SleepyC on Sun-11-15-09
If you live in the Northern part of the US, you are in the heart of Fall. The leaves have changed and dropped off the trees, the temperature is quickly falling and a nice, warm flying day is as rare as a three toed sloth.
(Notice: If you live in an area where it is still warm, then stop reading this and go out and fly, we are all jealous of you!
If you live in a colder region, please continue.)
So what do we do up here in the Northern US when it's too cold and windy to go out and fly and... ::Read More>> |
Giant Scale Safety.
By: SleepyC on Fri-11-13-09
Over the last few years, I have seen many threads pop up regarding safety practices and giant scale airplanes. Many people take for granted that we are essentially handling 50 - 200cc saw blades on a daily basis. Many of us keep safety in mind, and follow strict procedures to ensure all of our digits are still attached to our hands each and every flying day. And yet we still hear the horror stories and see the "I can't believe this happened to me" threads. I have even seen seasoned pro's get lazy... ::Read More>> |
