This company works fast and ships fast I had my order 2 days after I placed the order.
At least they are worth a look over.
Crashes you'll remember
Submitted by Matt Barnson on Tue, 2008-07-01 13:44. The ClubhouseBrian Sorenson recently brought up the topic of "crashes you remember". Here are a few of mine. Keep in mind... I've only been flying five years!

Just like Polygamy Porter... why have just one?
Memorable crashes:
* Innumerable while learning on my horrible ParkZone J-3 cub. Fine airplane once you know how to fly, terrible to learn on.
* First Raptor crash in my back yard... low voltage on Rx pack, lockout.
* Second Raptor crash in my front yard, but I was flying it in my back yard: low voltage on Rx pack, lockout.
INCOMING

Air Force: Pilot error led to accidental strafing

HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah (AP)
-- Air Force investigators say an F-16 pilot misidentified a sport utility vehicle when he blasted it with a 20 mm cannon in April.
The Air Force says the pilot momentarily lost visual contact with a target while using night-vision goggles at the Utah Test and Training Range.
On-site AMA registration available for Expo?
Submitted by Matt Barnson on Sun, 2008-06-15 10:34. The ClubhouseI noticed that we registered at least one flyer under 18 at the Electric event for both AMA and club membership. Will we have forms available at Expo/Warbirds so that people can join on short notice there too? I have a couple out-of-town friends who may not have registered for AMA coverage by then, but they are excited about bringing their planes for the Expo. Admittedly, they should register first and have their card, but I can't control my friends, you know :)
I know how Charlie Brown Feels
Submitted by Bsorensen on Thu, 2008-06-12 09:10. The ClubhouseSo last night I was flying around the Model Port building my confidence on turns and trying to keep up my altitude through turns, and trying to line up with the runway on the downwind turns. That downwind turning and lining up seems to be giving me a lot of problems, however, my story is not about that.
No modelport for me tonight
Submitted by Matt Barnson on Wed, 2008-06-11 14:52. The ClubhouseThe little cold I had yesterday has grown into a full-blown flu, including stomach pain, diarrhea, and a mild fever. I'm going to pass on going to the modelport tonight to help train. As much as I'd like to go, I don't want to expose people... and I also just want to go home and go to bed!

Website Weirdness
Submitted by Matt Barnson on Sat, 2008-06-07 17:13. The ClubhouseSorry for the website weirdness today. We had some emergency downtime last night, and I did not have enough time to totally fix it before I left to go the pylon race in Logan today. The main symptom was that no user could log in, and administrative functions did not work.
I have fully repaired the problem as far as I can tell at this point; if something is not back to normal, please tell me!
