    FPV Maiden "Nailed It"

    Who doesn't love the smell of hot glue and foam board in the morning?!! I've been flying RC for some time now, well since rubber band escapements were the new thing. Anyway, I decided that FPV would be the next thing to try. Well, FPV she's an unforgiving lassie with a steep learning curve...

    Versa Wing teething issues

    Hello! I've been flying since 1993 and I've returned to the hobby and to electric flight after several years. I've just finished a Versa for combat in my club and this morning went to maiden it and it will not fly. The plane nose dives into the ground. SETUP: pusher setup with the beef electric...

    FT "Jumbo" Versa Wing

    I got some FPV equipment for Christmas. I thought that I would build a Versa wing "bigger" to take the extra weight. I printed the plans out at 120% and added a center pod to take the extra equipment. I did the maiden flight today and it worked out quite well. Very cold out today at -15 so it...

The little I know is that it's called a Hannibal, it was never built as a real plane and is just an interpretation of what a WWI warbird would have looked like.

    My 1st scratchbuild Maiden flight

    So I've built my first scratchbuild (sort of looks like Ultimate) and maidened it a few days ago. The plane doesn't handle wind at all... That day it was way to windy to fly that plane. My rates were set to too low, the wind was throwing me everywhere, could hardly control it... The landing was...
