I haven't gotten much indoor time this year but did 3:10 with a Div B plane in cold weather in a 39' gym. Div C planes are doing similar times, usually closer to 2:50 or so. We did over 5 minutes from 50' under the 2021/22 rules in a warm site in late 2021, so I for one am not trimming my Div B plan...

Yeah we had a conversation about glue. Elmer's school glue is absolute trash and most people are unaware of this. After all it's heavily marketed.

A team at the Dodgen-Walton invitational was flying a variant of this airplane. It flew impressively well, about 100 seconds as I recall. They had an initial problem getting it to fly because the covering was peeling. Once that was fixed to floated away beautifully. Very nice design.

Just released part 1 of the Retro RC Cloud Hopper review. This is the only biplane kit released so far under this season's rules, and it looks really interesting. Lots of innovative featues.

And here's the one you've been waiting for, the Freedom Flight kit: https://youtu.be/9mpo1mqlKUE The is the Div C plane. The B version is larger and easier to fly. WARNING: There is not a commercially produced box that will fit this plane. You will need to either shorten the right wing 1/2" to ...

I was trying to help my kids with their plane today and we weren't having much luck. Guru Division C kit. I didn't see them build it but it didn't look too bad. Everything on the plane looked to me like it should be doing a standard left turn. Stab tilt, rudder, etc. I think this was not supposed t...

In terms of the overall rules, the major chane is that the dimensions of the plane are regulated purely by the check-in box rather than set airframe parameters, making things much more open ended. The minimum weight, rubber motor restriction, and lack of any propeller restrictions, however, constrai...

tested a high aspect ratio design and i'm not sure how to fix some weird behaviors; upon launch the plane starts circling left but then straightens itself out by a weird dutch roll process that eventually results in a right turn after this weird launch, the plane climbs about 5ft and then maintains...
