Dude are you kidding me my mom is awesome. She helped me do all of the hinges and horns on the Yak and she helped me install the DA while dad was out working.

LUCKY! I have to build all my planes buy my self! My mom or dad wont touch them. I'm on my own .

I have to say, my dad is involved in going to the events and fly-ins and has a blast, but when it comes to building or flying, hes out lol. He does hold the plane when I start it though.

Carlos,That is some funny right there.How far along are you on rollers?Can you get a few rotations without dropping the nose?Do you have a foamie?

Hey all,

I just want to say a little something about Fisher Fuel Products. My man Mike Fisher contacted me and wanted to be involved with TC3D, and wanted to sponsor an event. Particularly the Tail Dunk Contest. Well, as you all know I won the contest (I guess those gyros help a little) and got a special custom made 6 gallon gas fueling can. comes with 12v Nimh battery and really kicks but an fills the tank quick. All fittings on the jug are hi-tech, air/fuel tight, w/ safety toggle switches, and all fuel tubing and spiral flex tubing is included. This is a very nice can and just wanted to share that with everybody. I plan to get the matching fuel dots for my plane. Maybe Mike can chime in and say a little more about his products.

As you all know, Mike also attended the TC3D and had a Vendors Booth set-up. He weathered the storms like we did, and Mike is also a member of the FFAA. Check out his web-site and take a look at all of the products he offers. Lets help support one of own, and the greatest hobby in the world!

Mike, aka HunterinFL, is from New Port Ritchey, Florida and is heck of a guy!

Thanks Mike for Supporting the FFAA, TC3D, and our Hobby!

Sorry Doug-eeee. I'm not even getting them on AeroFly.. Seems the fin-e-gers don't sync up and then
mer eyes lose the timing on the plane. I'm still working it and it maybe a while yander, but I'm determined..
Got to dust off my foamies. Spit in a can and roll...

Howdy, Break the maneuver in four elements, Upright, knife edge , inverted etc , Once you feel comfortable in each of those blend them together and incrase the roll rate as your confort level increases.We have also found that selecting low rates on the ailerons helps as it allows you to focus on the other inputs, As you begin trying to fly a circle slow the roll rate as the aircraft is flying towards you (VooDoo gave us this tip and we found it very helpfull)....... But nothing like a foamy to practice all of this

Hey All,

July 5th, BBQ Huck! All FFAA is invited! 8:30 am to when ever. You can stay as long as you like. I will be grilling Lunch for everybody, so let me know if you are coming. I will also be bringing my generator so if you want to bring you portable fan and extension cord, you can plug in (Its just too hot!) My home field in SouthEast Orlando, called Orlando RC Association (ORCA). Here is the link to our web-site so you can look at the Map.

Link: http://www.orlandorc.org/

I will be there around 8 am. There is NO sign posted for our club field, but it is located apporximately 1 mile south of the Toll Road 528 (Beach Line) on Narcoossee Rd. From beach line you will head south, you will actually drive past the entrance (on your left) to our field (Blvd). when the road curves slightly to the right, stay in the left lane so you can make a U-turn back to our driveway. I will mark the gate with some balloons. Our club rules says the gate has to be locked all the time, but it will be dummy locked so that the FFAA guys can get in. Once you are in, please close the gate and dummy lock the gate. 2nd gate can remain open (our field is in the middle of ranch land and there is a few cows that wander around.)

X-Rated can come over and fly VooDoo planes, and mine too.

Please let me know if you are coming so I can make sure there is enough food for everyone!

Hey Carlos,

Good tip from Lou!

Also, in the words of Chip Hyde think top rudder when in KE and the canopy faces you, for me it can help me re sync my timing anywhere in the circle if the roll rate gets going. Mastery of the 4 point roll is a great helper too.

I'm rolling on the ground Tony..


Lou/Rich thats for the tip. I have the 4 pointers down. Its when the plane is in harrier and I
start to roll. Maybe I need to do as Lou says and lower the rate on the ailerons.

See ya on the field..
