I thought (from Mike Konshak's work) that 38mm was just slightly too small. I remember he tried to grind off the corners of the pcb, but either shorted layers or cut traces when he did so. I'd like t...

Yup, it seems like a steal to me, too. Unfortunately, unemployment takes away all good deals! Yeah, I'd buy that if I were you. Ken

Chad, At 6.5lbs, you could still lob that up with a decent I motor for 50 bucks or so. Heck, even the H999 will kick it up. The Wildman DD is almost the same as my PR Comp3, which I bought for L2, b...

Totally supported and encouraged! Ken

Have you tried ordering from www.commonwealth.net? They've given me great service, and they show the 3" QT for about 18 bucks. Ken

I'd say ask our contest director. If it's not locked down, I might just throw together some VERY lightweight one-flight birds to try it. If it is, my son will help me build them and he can fly them!...

I think it was just chosen as a very common known entity and ideal for the kids to build for. Also, less likely to be lost as most kids I know won't have radio tracking 😉 Ken

For the "low and slow", we decided at the meeting for a $5 entry fee and a 24mm Estes D-12 motor. Ken

West Systems epoxy with no additives (well, other than hardener 😉 ) is good and runny. It will wick into those wood fins almost as good as CA. Mix a small batch, brush it on, let it set a bit (not ...

Love that motor! 8)

What was the motor, Adrian? Sorry I missed the launch. Ken

Wow, that's quite an upgrade! Was this all from donations, or are some new purchases? I see that only the extended front closure is listed on the 54's. Thinking ahead, I might be needing the 2560 wi...

I have a good friend who just started there a couple months ago. Not many openings there for what I do, but I'd be happy to put resumes in through him. He sits near the HR person. I hear they pay w...
