; 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 […]
On my Minnie Mambo build thread over on RCGroups.com, we were discussing what kind of battery that should go into the plane to power the receiver and servos. A normal sized flight pack is way too heavy for this size of plane, so one guy suggested using a BEC and a 2s Lipo battery. […]
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 […]
For Christmas my siblings and I got a ping pong table. Now we don’t have it setup as a ping pong table, instead we have the playing surface resting on the kitchen table. This kind of turns our kitchen into a rec-room :P. Most people when they get a ping pong table might think “Awesome! […]

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 […]
I recently purchased a JT Flex 8 Full Coverage paintball mask. So far I like everything about the mask . . . . except for one thing: the lack of ear protection. I don’t quite understand it really. The company took their time to create a real nice mask with a great lens, but […]
As I stated in my last blog post, my family has been talking about going canoeing again. For safety reasons I plan on keeping my iPhone with me in the boat. Although I have a Lifeproof case on my phone that keeps it waterproof, if our canoe ward to flip over, my iPhone would sink to the […]
There has been many times I have needed to cut a smooth hole in a piece of foam. When I am building RC planes I normally want to cut a smooth hole to run a pushrod or wire through the foam. When I need to do this I don’t want to just shove a […]
