So, I finally figured out what caused my Furion to crash. After digging through all the bits and pieces that I picked up at the field after it went in, I found a swash linkage rod that was missing a plastic link on one end. Upon further review of the rubble, I also found a… more »
Some of you might already know this, but I really, really like smokeless tobacco. Since I was in my early teens I have been using some variation of chewing tobacco, Skoal mostly. I have tried to stop more times than I have tried to force myself to enjoy the sim!!! Yeah, a LOT. So this… more »
Ok so I can completely admit that lately I’m feeling childish and want a new toy 🙂 I’ve got the bug to buy a new heli but definitely don’t need one. How I know this is because I have a list of 3 or 4 helis I’d love to have there’s no way I could… more »
This week has been slow and mostly boring on the heli front… 🙁 Other than some testing of the MKS servos that I’m reviewing and getting the gasser ready to rock, there hasn’t been much else going on. No flying, of course… In fact, the rain is beating down on my soul as I write… more »
It is amazing how one good day at the field can really get you fired up and excited about this hobby again. For me the last couple weeks the flying has been a little scarce. Mostly due to school and the end of the semester approaching, and partially due to crappy weather. Well last… more »
…and while I haven’t quite figured out the reason for this one, I suspect that I will eventually. Of course, I’m talking about the mess that is two of the three helis in my fleet pictured above. So, as you’ve heard in the last episode or two, I’ve been getting shit from Nick about not… more »

As you all know Dan was banned from Helifreak which still doesn’t settle well with me btw. Apparently after certain individuals of the HF staff listened to Episode#60 then I was banned as well. Same scenario…. no message, no given reason, no email, and no posts. Oh well, it is what it is. I’m pretty… more »
This blog post comes to you from Thanksgiving 2012…incidentally, this also marks my three-year anniversary in the hobby! It’s been a great time so far and I’m quite certain that there’s much more where that came from. Three years ago today, I brought my T-Rex 500ESP up into a hover in a parking lot near… more »
The last week has been huge for me in this hobby. So much has happened in such a short time. Of course I am mostly referencing the recent sponsorships that I have gotten. Before last weekend I really had no plans of trying to get or getting any new sponsors, I was completely content… more »
