Flight Instruction / 2024 training starts next week...
Last post by Frank v B - Today at 06:10:16 PM
Next week Wednesday, May 8 will be our first training day at Rogo Field.
- if you are a new member and wish to learn how to fly we will be happy to instruct you
- if you are a new member who has soloed and needs a check flight.
- if you have a new plane and are new to the hobby, we will be happy to check it out and do a trim flight for you.

I will be there no matter the weather.  If it is pouring I will head to Tim's at Woodbine and Stouffville Road.

Here is hoping some of the dependable helpers can come out like Mark, Paul, Peter, Philip
Vadim, Oscar, etc.

Someone wanted my advice on how to dispose of some abandoned RC stuff.

Hard not to laugh (inside) when I was shown this 14 S EDF motor and fan.  195mm diameter.  It produces 25 KG of thrust and retails for over $4,000.  There were two of these.  It needs 20,000 mah batteries that weigh more than my entire RC fleet of 40 plus planes.  ;D

David will have a 3D printed plane for it next week. ;)
I love my job.  No idea what tomorrow brings as this proves.

Very good structure on this OV10.  There's a cross-brace in the fuselage and the front landing gear is supported by 2 6mm CF tubes crossing over sections.
