Hey there friends, I know I haven't been active on the forum a lot but thats really because I am busy building and flying and didn't find much time to post things. I will though be trying to get back to writing some posts about some stuff I've been working on and flying.
Here is a little bit of things I will be writing about.
1) The first trash plane that I've built.
2) A bit about my regular flying buddies and our saturday meet ups.
3) Copying a model's parts to making long term plans for it.
4) Some events that i've been too.
5) some FT sbuilds with friends and alone
6) A recycling project I've been part of and my hopes of making it into a course for schools.
8) My expreince with a few jets
9) A bit about my expreince and desire to also learn to fly drones like a pro.
10) Nitro planes and my expreince with a it.
11) Repairing a few models and flying them some that will never be seen again.
12) A few 3D printed projects that I've been working on planes, parts, and more.
13) A few original flite test kits that I've recieved and my exprience with them
14) A few ARF planes that I've recieved and put together.
I highly recommend you stay tuned for the posts to come soon.

For a while now I've been gathering parts to build a trash plane.
playing around with the parts that I saved for this project, and this is what I came up with.
ths wing that i was going to use as the wings for this plane need quite a bit of repair. I had to re-construct the main section of it, add ailerons, and winglets.
If we are going tesh then its trash all the way, so we will be using dental floss picks as control horns.
And this is how it looks a moment before a test maiden!
The full video of me building, and flying this weird beast is here.

My first RC jet—an F-15 gifted to me by my good friend Amnon—was where my journey into flying RC jets began. I never found much info on the manufacturer or model, but that didn’t stop me from having an absolute blast with it!
At the time, I was so excited to fly that I didn’t even think to record my first flights (or the inevitable repairs that followed). But thanks to my son, my wife and my friend Yakov, I do have some amazing footage of this jet in action—both from the ground and some epic air-to-air drone shots!
After many flights, I ended up breaking one of the fan prop blades. Instead of letting the jet sit around, I passed it on to my dear friend Yaniv, who had a spare motor ready to bring it back to life. It was the perfect way for this F-15 to keep soaring.
Hope you enjoy the footage! Let me know if you recognize this F-15 model—I’d still love to know more about it.
