    Camp n Fly 2024 May 4-5th!

    Think we should limit combat to 48" wing spans and/or a maximum weight. No hard leading edges, no scary stuff. Basically some common sense to avoid a truly bad outcome should one hit a human. I'm not sure many liked flying with "Sticker Bomb" on the hunt last year, I was very concerned that...

    Xlite Mode 2 Rudder not responding / Inop Bluetooth connection?

    For the gimbal question - go to the stick calibration screen on that radio and give that a go. A quick way to make sure they are all working.

    Camp n Fly 2024 May 4-5th!

    GOT PARKING? Sounds like we will be able to park cars at Gabe's business next to the campground. This is further than you will want to walk, so we will set up a shuttle service as needed. There is one catch, you will not have access to this parking lot on Saturday. On the good side, your...

    Camp n Fly 2024 May 4-5th!

    Let's discuss possible special flying rules at Sunset. This has come up the last few years and has always been shot down mostly because we are all slope pilots and don't like to be told what we can and can not fly. Perhaps some of the magic of Sunset is this freedom. I discussed this with the...

    Camp n Fly 2024 May 4-5th!

    Nick, Parking is always a hot mess at this event. I had wanted to grab the group site this year to combat this issue, but it was already taken. :( Worse comes to worse, we can park off site and will have a truck available to haul gear back and forth from the remote parking. I'll talk with a...

    Doc's D-Lite - A new thermal build at Aloft

    I honestly would like to see our new kit releases a lot more often, but things get in the way. Still adapting to these changes to our business and refining our methods and tools.

    ALOFT: AH-100 Build (new title)

    Been making very little progress on the AH-100 project. Just had other things to focus on. But we decided the main spar was just too massive, so while I was in there I redesigned the center spar assembly and actually am very pleased as it is now lighter and stronger. Will build up the left...

    Doc's D-Lite - A new thermal build at Aloft

    We have been quite on this one for a little while, but progress has been steady. We are now on the third version, and really think this will be finale and released in kit form unless something major is discovered. Focus on this round has been cleaning things up, reducing weight and fine tuning...

    Possible AMA club to protect - Tic Point - Four Corners - Ridgecrest

    I have personally reached out to a few clubs near slope sites with the hope they would cover those sites, but the best I have received is a polite response saying they will discuss. I think it is time we set something up for our valuable slope sites. When they are gone, they are gone. Yes, we...

    Possible AMA club to protect - Tic Point - Four Corners - Ridgecrest

    Was contacted by Bruce A. and he is looking into setting up a new AMA club to help protect our super amazing slope sites. I have talked about this in the past, good to see someone else wanting to take action. I have also put some thought to how sloe soaring is a rater different challenge as so...

    Stuck on usb connected icon

    Please check that your radios still has storage space. If you have a lot of saved logs or similar you may need to remove some of those.

    X8R would be a great choice and will work out of the box.
