Joined but a very short time ago. Age is 74 but young at heart and been in R/C
for good number of years. Most of my planes are gone including some 1/3 scale. I went into helicopters some time back and have one Mini aircraft 2cycle
gas update model and it's huge. Never flown it, don't want to see it pile up.
A good number of 450 3Ds and built most of what I have. A few years back, got caught up in the Drone craze! hi hi I'm a ham op as well. N0EK. Goes well with the electronic back ground. I rebuilt a tarot 680 to equal a 750 or 800. Will take up to 19 inch props but running 14 inch on it and S6 battery, will stay up for upward or 45 minutes, possibly longer. Craft has a gimbal and separate 4K camera as well as a OSD home brew system. Great flying machine and have to new N3 for it. Had to send the N3 back for defect but recently it was returned. My newest member to my small collection is a used Yuneec Typhoon q500. I had some problem after a number of good flights. The main board has two chips near the outer edge of the motor wire connections causing the red flashing light to stay on and no GPS connection. New board on the way. The GpPro3+ on the craft is awesome. I would suggest that those of you that are new and have had memory message problems as I first did. Call CA and they will walk you thru a memory clear. The Yuneec I have, was never crashed and in excellent shape and a dream to fly. From beginner to experienced pilot, it's a
hoot. hi hi My photo is myself and Bubba, a pet wild moose about 1 1/2 yrs old. Good animal and wouldn't hurt a fly but State of ND didn't think so and had him put down. What a shame. Had I known they were going to do that. I would have trailered him North and let him roar free in the wild where he belonged. Due to big oil is why he should up at my place and the apple trees kept him busy as well as my taking care of his injured front right hoof. That's my story guys and I'm sticking to it. Have met Steve Carr on line for help and believe me, the man knows what he's doing. Many Thanks Steve for your help and suggestions. Good Flying Guys and Safe landings as well.
