I Bring You... Fire!

And a crash too! :)

The Birth of the FT/MC Old Racer

The weekend before last would dictate the death of my FT Old Speedster... which turned out to be a great thing!

Another Plane!

Since my last experience, I realized I had to do what I knew I should have done in the first place: build a trainer. Luckily, Flitetest recently released one: the FT Old Speedster. I loved the looks of the plane since the first time I saw it, but was a bit let down by the fact that it was a 3 channel plane (no ailerons). I decided to build it anyway and just add ailerons later, if needed.

First crashes...

It had to happen sooner or later, right?

The Transmitter

The first thing I had to have was a transmitter.

It had to be cheap, programmable, upgradable, cheap, modular, usable as a simulator controller, cheap and preferably compatible with my V911 helicopter. Did I mention cheap?
