Posts made past 02:30PM 12/30/24 won't be on the new site!

We are in the final stages of resolving the issues with the forums move to the new location. After talking with tech support, the only solution was to send him a copy of all the images. This will take time - but we know the fix SO it's only a matter of time now.

Thanks again for your patience,

    Were they surprised to discover that there was minor vibration and a wee bit of turbulence while racing?

I am looking into something like Sawbones was using. It was an FPV system at only 5 lbs. They mentioned about losing signal when the plane was right over them, but that can be changed through changing the FPV tranmitter frequency and using an "older 72mhz" transmitter. As for "smoothness" new "fpv" servos and brushless gimbles are available, and you guys only thought I just flew little "toy planes" around the hanger.
          They said it would die when Thom brought the power up. I'm still leaning toward that it was mounted to the same structure that the engine mount is attached to with no iso mounts.

            Yeah, that might pose a problem...

            Sorry to hit a sore spot there, Mike. :-/
