Nice pictures Micheal. Thank you for ordering great weather!!

Mild to warm temperature, low winds, and mostly blue sky. Great flying all day!

3DLabPrint.com offer a free download of the Piper J3 Cub and the model files come with floats. I printed it the first time and it really wanted to be a submarine instead of a plane. You are having way more luck with 3d printing than I am. Give it a try!.

We have a limited number of Spektrum Tx's that we make available to students.
Setting up the buddy box system is unfortunately not as easy as it sounds, and a lot depends on what gear the student has.
Having said that we always try to accommodate.

Hi,
Read in previous post that 2 transmitters required (supplied by student), is this still true?


Thanks
Simon

Hummm do I see an airboat floating by in your future?!?

It wouldn't be hard to create this part using TinkerCAD, a free (honest... actually free) online CAD tool.  TinkerCAD is owned by AutoDesk... which also owns Fusion360... one of the biggest CAD tools.  TinkerCAD is relatively easy to use and powerful.  I created The Beatles Pepsi Radio entirely in TinkerCAD.

You'd start with a cylinder 40mm long and 8mm in diameter.  You'd select the Cylinder tool, create a basic Cylinder, then size it..  Then cut off the bottom.  Add 2 holes for screws.  Then create another cylinder 4mm in diameter and 12mm long.  Then duplicate that cylinder.  Then drag those cylinders to the ends of the large cylinder.  I know I'm making this sound easier than it is, but it really is that straight forward.

Amazing!  So perfect for the 3D printer user who doesn't have access to, or the skills to CAD stuff.  Especially complicated shapes. 

I didn't know this existed.  So cool!

That would be fun with a small plane.

According to Google Maps, there's a quarry just sounth of you.  That would be an awesome float flying site if we could just get access/permission.  In my experience, that's harder than you'd think, unfortunately.
