It appears to be getting worse. Let me know if there's much flying going on today (Sat) and if Art and Doug still plan to fly Odyssey on Sunday, 10am. Ken

The reports are showing scattered thunderstorms through the weekend. Anyone been up there and can give us a real report? We need a live Ethernet line at the North Site! With a webcam and weather stat...

From what I've read, they work pretty well, but don't trust the strap that comes with them. A camera falling off your helmet while mountain biking will survive. Dropping a few thousand feet, maybe n...

Sometimes they have, sometimes not. My son was asking, since we're only able to come up Sunday. Ken

What motor? Tim can probably set you up with a good L1 deal. How about an I600? 😉 BTW, I never got back with you about pictures from Oktoberfest '08. Ken

Art and Doug, Any guesses on when you'll be flying Sunday? I just want to make sure I get up there in time, as I won't be able to come up for the whole event this year. Too busy and didn't get any r...

Mike, If you're going with the CTI J285's, definitely airstart them! The Perfectflite timer is SO simple to set up, and fully ground test. And with CTI motors, it JUST WORKS. No dark art of igniter...

Yup, your stars and bars are upside down. I'm sure you can fix it with some of that amazing hand-painting talent! Looks awesome. I love the metal fins with rivets look. Ken

Anyone in the Longmont area have an Astro gps I can borrow to test some DC20's I bought on ebay? I just want to make sure they're functional before leaving feedback. I've got a week and a half of rea...

At the device level (disk and tape drives), all the engineering is being pushed offshore, where all the manufacturing is right now. Disk still has the edge over flash in the mainstream and high end, b...

Those guys used to fly with us. They had a weather sensor that they were flying. They had a zillion H125s (full "H", 29mm). Alas, that motor is no longer certified.... I think I saw the prototype o...

I will be back in action! Just heard Friday afternoon that an offer was on its way early this week. I will be an application engineer at Vaisala in Louisville. I'll be working on integrating remote ...

Epoxy the bulkhead in where the top of the longest casing will be. Then, just use an eyebolt, or eyenut with allthread to go through the bulkhead into the threaded closure. Ooops. Forgot the Pro54 d...
