    FT A-10 VS Sea duck VS MS P-38

    Planing on flying in the snow, so I know the sea duck would be best but if I build the A-10 out of WR foam I think it could be an option. Thoughts?

    Help! Looking for a winter build project

    I want a project for the winter and im not sure what to build! I want a hard to build plane (like the master series) and i would actually like a plane that takes a long time to build. It does not need to have foamboard plans but it will need balsa plans that i can try to convert to foam. I would...

    Oops, crashed into the ocean! (a fjord technically...)

    Got a little crazy last week and crashed into a Norwegian fjord! Fortunately I was testing a new GoPro at the time and ended up with some nice footage! “DHC Turbo Beaver Saltwater Crash and Rescue” Need to build an RC rescue boat I think 🤔 thoughts?

    5min into flying sea otter on asphalt...

    Everything was going great, it taxis very well in deep snow (with a little bit of up elevator). Slides across the asphalt great with and added plactic shield on the bottom. Was flying great on the few short take off and landings. Then on my last approach, just as i was bouncing to a stop (seems...

    I built my first plane (FT Storch)... and now its winter... I picked a bad time to learn to fly.

    I'm just looking for friendly talk/help to help me get through this winter here in Northern Michigan. It does not permit many good flying opportunities... I had a chance to fly my Storch 1 time (the day before the snow came, and has not stopped snowing for more then a week), but crashed it many...

    Cold Weather Flying/Snow Flying

    Hi everyone! With winter upon us, I was curious about using electric RC planes in the cold. This will be my first winter flying them, and I figured there must be some precautions and pointers that some more experienced pilots would know. A couple of questions come to mind: 1.) First off, the...

    Winter FPV in cold, in snow and in sleet. Why stop flying when you can fly ? :D

    Hello guys and girls that are addicted to FPV. I live up in Northern Sweden, in a small university town called Luleå. It is a coastal town and there is plenty of water everywhere. So i started flying (teached myself how to fly with a quad first) with a Sky Scout and learned how to fly on a...

    Snow Bomber V2

    Winter is coming. Well not really but I will start gather the parts to get one of my projects from last winter reborn. Last year I had some success with this plane but the big props meant I had to build the motor mounts really tall. In the cold and with some hard landing I kept knocking them...

    FT 3D Indoors?

    Hi everyone! Quick question. Is the FT 3D too big to fly in a decent sized school gym? I'm looking to get my flying fix amid winter's wind and cold. Thanks!

    Heat your home office, or workshop for next to nothing

    With winter approaching, you might not want to spend much time in your workshop as you'd like, or you are and its costing you a fortune in heating bills. Here is a nifty little trick to heat your small space for next to nothing. I doubt it'd work here in montreal where it gets to -40, but...

    Flying in...Winter?

    Noone can stop an RC pilot. Not even winter...Right? So it's getting cold out here in Lithuania and i was flying with my friend today and i noticed that my plane sort of... lacks power.... That's not usually the case because my plane is well powered and takes off like a rocket :D So I've heard...
