I have taken a small seat back to the hobby to figure some things out. I finally decided that I need to go small if I am to keep flying. At least for the next season anyways. As we all know the RC hobby is an expensive hobby. HOw expensive it can get is based on us and what we want. Its...
Over the last two weeks I have been looking at my hobby and seeing if anything needs to change. This week I am looking at what it is I fly. Before that let’s dig deeper into the why. Over time we get deeper and deeper into a hobby and we don’t realize just how deep into we are. The we begin...
I am not dropping the hobby just assessing what it is I need to continue my enjoyment with it. My 570 is the bomb and will not give it up unless SAB discontinues the model. So to put the question to rest as of right now the 570 is not going up for sale. Nor is the rest of my stuff except the...
As of late I has been thinking about what is my hobby about and how it relates to the 99%. I am not a pro or and intermediate, I am a weekend warrior that flies basically on the weekends when I have time. This last year has been a really rough year for me and now that things are looking up I...

I have been thinking about something here lately and I thought i would write up an article on it to get your opinions. This is just a debate and nothing serious, so please keep it clean.
As you know, for the past year or so I have been fighting everything I have ordered from over seas. From...
I have had a lot of time to think about this and it's time I post up my answer. I'm sure everyone on here can stand with me on saying $450 spent on a toy is a hard pill to swallow. I know I had a very hard time pulling the trigger on my latest purchase. But then I started thinking about what I'm...
What's up everyone. I have had the question asked, "what is the difference in Analog and Digital servos. Well, this video (well audio actually) will explain all of that and more. This is pretty much just a webcast, so there is no real need to 'watch' it. I got all of the information off of...
What's up everyone. Well, I have been asked time and time again what the KV means on the side of a motor. Well, this video will explain it really quickly. It's a simple equasion that you can use to figure out your head speed as well.
Pretty much, if you have a 3500kv motor, then that means...
