Every thing I've ever gotten used has been through a TOTAL tear down and rebuild till it's better than New in Box. The only thing I never buy used is the Transmitter and Rx since you can't "See" what might be wrong, you don't know how rough the Rx's rides have been or if the radio was dropped or...

NEVER....NEVER buy electronic equipment used unless you know who owned it and he lives less that 20 minutes away.

Where did you get the radio and is there any way to send it back? If his last name is actually Harrier, he should CERTAINLY be able to hover an airplane. :p

I was at the field early one morning a few years back and no one else had arrived yet. Not wise to fly alone, but I had a new plane and I could play all by myself. Well, kind of windy that morning but I was having a blast trying to fly it as slowly as I could against the incoming winds. I...

Ah, no. Damn, man. I'm really sorry to see that but it's one of the dangers of flying. You can't just pull over or slow it down in the tall grass. Several years ago I watched a $2000 Viper pattern plane go in on it's maiden voyage. Full throttle, full vertical. I took some pictures but you...

You're absolutely spot on by having a real pro inspect and test it. Several years ago a guy at the field had his elevator rip off in mid flight. The club president took his radio to try to help and flew it around for a couple of minutes. Elevators are trimmed for level flight at about mid...

Shopping at Ingle's, eh? Just a little tip for next time, buy the rubbing alcohol in a drug store so you can get the 91% instead of the 70% that contains more water. Great planes makes some great epoxy.

You're right, I wasn't thinking. Float planes or planes that float. Either one would be a good starter.

Um, excuse me, but I think with planes you'll want to explore new AIR.

It's a gasser. Very cool. Love the sound of that thing in the air.

Sure, it's a 4' table, but it's only a 1/6 scale table. He's also shooting with a 35mm lens. J/K...nice job. By the way, I mix epoxy in disposable plastic picnic cups. Small amounts are mixed in plastic shot glasses from a dollar store. I stir it with ice cream sticks available in packs of...

The engine is a real beauty. Here's my Saito 1.20 nitro engine, the biggest I ever owned. Got it for the 81" Cessna 172.

Super. I wanted to see what it looked like since I wasn't familiar with that name, and found this pic on google... I'm familiar with several different 90" planes, and that's the way to go.
