O.S. states 18% "Quality lubricant'. O.S. .21 XM VII Manual One of my heli buddies mixes his own fuel. He has run down to 9% - just don't run it lean. Like Dave said, 14% is pretty popular from what I've found. I'm still running a stash of Byron 55% Hydro-Glow that is 16% lube in my O.S...

That's haulin' ! Well done, Kris.

Merry B-Day David!

No worries, I'm not in a hurry. I may end up with one myself before summer is out; who knows. I've been a UNIX sysAdmin at a university for over 20 years, so I am pretty interested to see how these linux control systems are adapted into the RC community. I followed a good bit of the ArduPilot...

That's great! I would like to hear more about what you think of it after you feel you have a handle on it. You're right, though, at the price it is going to be hard to not try it. I appreciate the notes of your experiences with EdgeTX and now the MT12. That's what I was looking for. I'm also...

Interesting. Thanks for the feedback. I've read differing reviews over the years and never really paid much attention to the openTX/edgeTX stuff. I do see a growing number that do like the systems. One good characteristic is the flexibility of them - you can pretty much program / configure it...

I received a marketing email from a hobby joint that I use every now and then advertising the new RadioMaster MT12 surface (pistol format) radio. I haven't seen a mass produced open source surface radio in a pistol config before. Has anyone else looked into the OpenTX or EdgeTX systems for...

Awesome!

Yeah, pretty sure the trucks are running spec Ilmor engines. I think they're based on a GM design. At any rate, I was pleased with each series' outcome. Great weekend for Ford. The truck race was straight-up embarrassing to the discipline of auto racing. Hell, even NASCAR itself was shitting...

Hey Grim, who's hosting it in '24?

Thanks Brandon! Good to hear Gene has still got it 😆 Congrats on the night win!

Hey Brandon and all, how did this go? I hate that I missed it, had a work trip move to that week (so f'ing mad). How'd my 'ol buddy G. Duncan do? I was looking forward to finally getting to rub sponsons with his B Sport.

I've done a microbeast many years ago using the led-codes. It's not too bad if you've setup a heli before. Yes, get him on here and let's see what the issue is. -Joey Edit: I nearly forgot. The late, great Ron Lund has several YouTube videos detailing the MicroBeast setup. RIP Ron. All of his...

Sent ya a PM. Didn't want to muddy the waters in your race thread any more. Great looking FE boats. I've gotta work harder to put together an FE tunnel... Edit: if anyone has an FE tunnel to get rid of, I'd love to hear about it.

Looks GREAT! Definitely want to see pics of that machine when she's done. Is it one of your old ones? A newly acquired gem, or a total restore? I am still tinkering with a Quest (Kyosho) Neo-Caliber 50. I should have bought/flew one of these 20 years ago. I hated the fiberglass canopy that...

Thanks for the pics, Bill. Hope you're well.

Damnit!!! I was a teen in the 80-90s and couldn't wait to get RCM every month. Mostly just for his column. What a great contribution to RC modeling that he has given. Thank you Clarence. RIP Thanks for the notice, Grim.

Merry Christmas everyone...from a very cold Mississippi.

No kidding! I was in Monterey in May for a conference (first time in CA), and had to go to Seaside to pick up a colleague....I heard them out there running, and I was immediately jealous. That is a beautiful place to do anything. I can imagine that you all are experts at handling the wind! Hope...

Hey Kris. Mr. Bullard posted them both in the event thread, as well as a new thread under the events forum. InterNats scores
