My Comp Arf Yak55Sp 2.6m is the best flying plane I have flown yet. This plane flies smooth, locks into the maneuver and holds it with very little effort. The plane is a joy to fly and looks sharp. Powered by a Brison 6.4ci and Vess prop. JR and Hitec digital servos, guidance by Futaba.

My other picture is of a 35% RadioCraft Staudacher. BME 100, Carbon prop and spinner, JR digital servos, Futaba guidance. 24 pounds. Wonderful flying plane and LIGHT.

Alpha A-4. This baby was set up for 2100mAh 4S 14.8v and was very quick in my opinion. I purchased this plane complete from Hole Digger on RC Groups. I believe the plane was built by Corsair nut. Pictures were taken by previous owner. This plane was just to small and fast for me to see. I sold it after 4 flights.

I was exposed to the hobby at a very young age by my dad. In the first picture with the Mirage Jet and the Andrews Trainermaster I was about 4 years old.

In the second picture with my dads Aeromaster Bi-plane. I was about 7 years old.

Wow, after 55 years of not modeling I find myself getting back into it. Just got a LT40 and am looking forward to some good weather so I can start flying. Of course my goal is to get into the Giants.

DO NOT BUY FROM TROY BUILT MODELS IN SARASOTA FLORIDA! I bought a product from them and it was not what they said it was. I tried to return it and they would not pay for return shipping. It has been 3 weeks and everyone I talked to was very Rude! Mainly the so called GM, Jaimie Garrett, yea right!

Has just become a member, I feel should be the first day of terms &, Liugejinian.
Oh, in fact often on this site before "glimpse of taking" someone else's article, but today officially become a member, and feel quite happy about it. My friends all say I am a very sentimental person, I do feel that it is like this, I like contact with others Xinyu Xin zero distance, but nothing much in life, even now still a student, it's hard to encounter an up close and person. Exchange, always so superficial. Rigid, or even boring, but the reality is always so slowly on the Internet to know some friends together Xiakan, unfettered, no matter how, the total number of issues can be resolved, whether it is affection, love, friendship.
Ting to thank modern science and technology advances, people can be so easily linked, so that we are not so lonely, so empty ... ...

I finally decided to buy an electric aircraft.... (a bit late... I know... but better later than never )
Mundo Hobby provided a 4-Site from E-flite, and man.. now I fully understand what the electric fuzz is all about! (I know.... a tad late... )
This bipe will just do anything.
I will juggle a bit with prop size... I think I can get a much better vertical performance out of that motor.

Let's get some indoor practice!

I got a chance to visit Sean D. Tucker's hangar in King City, CA today. Eric, Chelsey, Ian and the man himself, Sean D. Tucker welcomed me and my friend Mike with open arms.

Chelsey showed us around the hangars and out on the ramp, and gave us the opportunity to take as many pics as we wanted.

Sean's Challenger III was there, as well as the new Wolf Pitts Pro from Steve Wolf. The Pitts Pro is esentially what the new Challenger is , but Sean's is getting the royal treatment from Brian, his chief mechanic as well as the others on Team Oracle.

This Pitts Pro is personally owned my Wyche Campbell and right now, is (what some consider)the most high performance bipe in the world...until the Challenger is finished that is. Sean's is the same basic airframe, but has the Tucker touch, such as 8-aileron wings, airfoiled horizontal stab with a carry through spar (flying wires not needed, but Sean has 'em anyway), removable tail (for taking into convention halls for Oracle displays, the new Lycon fire breather that is getting stuffed into the cowl, the radical Hartzell CLAW prop (look at the pics and check out the blade profile...sweet!!!)

I got to fly with Ian in the team's Piper Seneca "Station Wagon" from King City up to Salinas. Ian is a great pilot and although the flight was only 18 minutes, he handled the old girl like the consumate professional. He noted that he rarely flies it "light" or without a bunch of gear in the back. He noted that it handles a little different when it is not loaded to the gills with support gear for the airshow trail.

He greased it in at Salinas in such a way that many airline pilots would envy. Great job Ian, and thanks for the flight.

At the Salinas hangar where the new Challenger is being fitted out, Steve "3DAV8R" met me there and showed me around Sean's new ride. The engine got there last night and is a jewel to say the least. It is a beautiful hunk of machinery. That new CLAW prop that is going to be pullng Sean around is something to see too. Radical blade profile that just screams "THRUST". I can't wait to hear it spinning.

Well, I've rambled on enough, time for pictures.

Enjoy!

Hl. I am New to Flying Giants Site. Well, lets get started. Been flying RC for about 11 years. Allways have used monocoat on all my projects, Works out very well. But now thinking about trying epoxy resin on fiberglass, Have done two wings, that turned out well. But new project has many many curves. Any tips on getting it to lay down without bumps, rinkels, or seams?
