Today was a gloomy, rainy, sunless day. Did it stop us from flying? Nope! We ( my friend Ryan and I) braved the heavy rain, the hard blowing wind and getting drenched by the rain which blew into the shelter at the flying club. The other club members left as soon as they heard thunder in the distance, we refused to let summer thunderstorms ruin our party.

We each got a total of 8 flights, despite the adverse conditions. We were at the field from about 9AM, and we didn`t leave until it was too dark to fly anymore. Had it not rained, our flight count would have been much higher, but had a...

Advantages:
- 7kW of power
- low weight (?)...

Secrets for the Best Performance

by Scott Trueblood

There are many misconceptions regarding gyros. I often hear “This gyro is horrible; my tail drifts.” This comment has been made about many outstanding gyros that top performing 3D pilots have demonstrated to be rock-solid. Granted, some gyros in very inexpensively designed RTF helicopters may not perform as well as top-shelf gear. However, if you are told that a Futaba GY-401 doesn’t hold the tail, that’s simply incorrect. In that case, you need to look more closely at the way the tail was initially set up....

It’s hard at the beginning, but success starts with knowing what to do.
