    Jeti DC16 unboxing

    Boris, thanks for sharing that video. I love my Futaba 8fg, but the Jeti looks spectacular - another league.

    from multi-rotor to plane...

    I've flown multi-rotors a lot in the past year, but I've never flown an RC plane. Today, I made my first attempt - with a ducted fan plane. If you've ever seen the show Top Gear, there's a line they use a lot. "How hard could it be?" they say with childlike innocence and a hint of British...

    xoar props

    With the wooden ones and the carbon ones I've just bolted them on and started flying - no problem. Was the hole size not right to begin with? Sorry you're having so many problems with them.

    Hoverfly Praise for Hoverfly...

    They're good guys and take good care of their customers in my experience. I recently did a year end review of our Cinestar / Hoverfly combo - it goes into a little more detail about why we chose Hoverfly for our flight controller. The Hoverfly Pro has been very reliable and smooth for us.

    Aeronavics / Droidworx It flies!

    They are 13 inch. If I had extras I'd send you one. When I order a spare pair I'll send you one to test.

    Aeronavics / Droidworx It flies!

    I've got 30 amp Plush on it right now. I may eventually try some Castles on it, but for now I'm happy with the Plushes. We likely won't lift anything much heavier than a GH2 with it. The Axi motors are quality.

    buy naza or apm 2.5

    Hoverfly is really easy to set up and flies great.

    Aeronavics / Droidworx It flies!

    I'm curious about how the props compare to the wooden Xoars. I only have the carbon for the XM (part of the package). The Xoar carbon props certainly do the job well and look good too.

    Looks good, Kloner. Felt like I was flying.

    Aeronavics / Droidworx It flies!

    This is the one from the contest. I finally got it built and flying - I'm so pumped. I haven't pushed it really hard yet, but I'd wager it's pretty quick. I need to put some lights on it soon. After several test flights it will be time for the gimbal and camera. The Xoar carbon props...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx It flies!

    Well Christmas came early. I got the new XM6 flying on Christmas Eve. It flies great and I'm having a blast. Nothing like that rush of the maiden flight. Sorry about the plain old cell phone photo, but I was flying solo on this one.

    Merry Christmas to all of you......

    Merry Christmas to everyone and in 2013 may all of your RC aircraft resist the urge to make unexpected introductions to terra firma.
