Radio Controlled flying is not just a hobby for me - it's almost like a religion! No, I don't worship my airplanes, or any other "false idols", but I have sacrificed a few nice planes to the evil god Terra Firma!
My friend, Stef Bezuidenhout (originally from South Africa but now living in Australia), was kind enough to send me some pictures of his completed e-QSC!
If you remember, in episode 76 of TheCrashCast, I announced that if everyone sends in pics of their completed e-QSC, we'll post the pics here along with a listener's poll so you guys can vote on what you think is the BEST one completed. The winner will receive a Tower Pro 2408-21 motor and matching ESC from my personal inventory to use as the power-plant for their next project. Well, so far my files have been downloaded almost 100 times, but to date, Stef is the only one to complete the challenge.
Get your pics in to me before the August 15th deadline!!!
Great looking plane, Stef!!

Toledo Show 2010 Coverage

Okay, so if you've heard any of our podcast episodes in the last few weeks, you know that Dennis and I are both attending the Toledo Weak Signals 2010 RC Expo. Last year, we set up a UStream LIVE Video Webcast in the PhlatBoyZ hotel room and broadcasted a video feed as we recorded the podcast. If you were online at the time, you got to see me, my buddy Ron (he accompanied me on that LONG drive from Texas), Mark and Trish Carew, and Glen (Evil-Tunes from the forums). It was really a lot of fun and we had a couple of dozen viewers.
The question is: Is it worth our trouble this year to do the live webcast again? If you would be interested in watching that live feed, then cast your vote in the POLL just to the right of this article. If we get more YES than NO votes, we'll do it again this year!
Last year, we had some "Technical Difficulties" that forced us to go on later than we wanted, but I kinda have a "clue" as to what I'm doing this year, so everything should go off without a hitch. LOL The plan is to do our "Open Flying" at the ETOC facility Saturday evening, April 10th, after the show shuts down for the night. After our flying session, we'll come back to the hotel room and fire up the webcam and start the show (estimated show time will be 10pm CDST). You'll be able to access my Ustream page by clicking on the "LiveFeed!" link in my RESOURCES Menu on the left-hand side of this page.
So VOTE already and tell us what you think!

As reported in the 62nd episode of TheCrashCast (Much Ado About Nothing), I got the two FireFly's built, painted, and "tattooed", and shipped out. That temporary tattoo paper from DecalPaper.com works great on EPP (and my little girls)!

Hey, gang! This is just a quick note to let everyone know that GuruAviation.net is now LIVE! They have a couple of great kits that will be available on the site, but I expect tons more to start showing up soon!
Who is GuruAviation you ask? It's our own Tim "Guru" King and his partner in crime, Chris "Lucky" Carnes - both former RadioActive Airshows Team members! Armed with a PhlatPrinter MKII CNC machine, 37 truckloads of foam, and gobs of RC experience between them, they are hitting the commercial scene selling high-quality RC airplane kits they've designed and tested themselves. Let's face it, if they like it enough to kit it and sell it, then you're probably gonna LOVE it!
Head on over to www.GuruAviation.net and check them out! Be sure to bookmark them in your browser so you can check back often!
