I haven’t been able to fly my RC planes in a few months due to mainly time restraints, but the other day I decided to build me a warbird and fly it. After looking around on RCGroups and talking to a few people, I decided on building a Hawker Hurricane. The original plans for the […]
; So sitting in my attic for the past ~8 years or so is a .40 sized RC trainer plane. It has been flown like only once about 8 years ago. I haven’t attempted to fly it because I really don’t the the right size of field at my house, but since I learned that […]
I’ve been working on my balsa airplane and I’m almost finished! I still have quite a bit of ‘finishing touches’ to do, but I’m getting pretty close to flying it. One thing I built for the plane was a steerable tail-wheel. The steerable tail-wheel was easier than I thought it’d be, and I think it […]
So I was going to show y’all something I built this week and show y’all how to make one yourself, but I went to the hobby shop this afternoon and got side tracked by some of the goodies I bought. Today I got in the mail my first covering iron – a Coverite 21st Century […]
For Christmas I got a box of balsa and I am currently in the process of building an airplane with it. I started building the airplane about a week ago and I have got quite a bit of work done on it. This is my very first balsa scratchbuilt airplane and I am learning a […]

A little over a week ago I went to a flea market type business in my area where I bought an RC airplane that had a nitro engine on it. The plane is balsa and the engine is a OS Max .15 FP. I have been flying electric airplanes for close to two years now, […]
This week’s post is different than all of my other blog posts. Normally I show you something that I have made that worked like I had hoped. . . .well not this week. I planned on showing you what I had been working on at the end of last week and over the weekend but […]
This is something that I made about a year ago and I have used it just about everyday since. I go through quite a bit of exacto knife blades but throwing them away used to be a problem. I can’t throw them straight into the garbage because first of all it would/could cut the garbage […]
