This is a shout out to thank Mike Shellim @RC-Soar for the fantastic Ethos templet! Let me state that this templet is why I made the move from OpenTX to Ethos. I really loved the power and flexibility we had with the OpenTX F3F templet. So much so that I was very reluctant to move away from...

I see the latest order from Aeroic has finally cleared customs! I see Super Sport means added carbon and accounts for the $300 price difference between the nice Red White & Blue and the Orange one. Is this different from what we normally think of as a carbon verses glass lay up? I assume so...

What do I have? I got this used Freestyler 5 right after crashing my glass Redshift. I have to say I'm rather impressed at the construction of the Freestyler compared to the build quality I see in the Zhou and RCRCM builds. It looks like quality does have a cost, but the value is much...

Some of you might know that I've just acquired my 3rd Redshift. This was the airframe Aeroic used to test the molds looking for issues like negative rake and other fit concerns. As such it was laid up in glass and does NOT represent the end Aeroic product. This airframe was used as a...

We held our first coastal race in a long time. This was at Thornton Beach. I'd like to thank Miguel Navarro for doing all the work associated with being a CD. What pains me is that this was the first place I flew an F3F race, and in 3 years my times haven't improved! The slope at Thornton...

This will be a discussion of the TJIRC Alpha 2.8 as sold by Aloft Hobbies. What drove me to look at the TJIRC Alpha 2.8 was that I damaged my two RCRCM Stregas' in the first race of the NCSS F3F season. I hate to say it but it looks like I'll be behind the power curve trying to keep some kind...

I found a great deal on this DLG based F5K electric assist 1.5 meter glider. (Thanks, Wayne and Aloft)! As it is looking like my conversion of an F3-RES to a F5-RESt is going so well I thought I'd might as well own up to my demographic (Fat Belly) and electrify a smaller 1.5 meter glider...

I often judge a man’s true opinion about a product by wether he spends his own resources on a replacement. Well, I was so impressed at the potential that my first Redshift (a used purchase) demonstrated in only its first dozen or so flight that I purchased a second Redshift. My first Redshift...

As a result of family issues and that the race season is coming to an end I don’t think I’ll be racing any F3F until 2020. During the 2019 season I was using the very economical (read cheap!) and well dated Strega’s. These did what I hoped they would. That is give me a chance to learn what F3F...

What kind of a call for help is this? There is no contact information. https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3394657-Team-USA-F3F-Team-Selects-desperately-need-help%21#post42612699 Really many, many good folks are not allowed or would in good conscience give RCGoofs the time of day...

Hello Guys (and maybe Gals), I've acquired $100 gift certificate from working the 2018 ISR from Soaring USA. My hope was to use this to pay for the shipping and taxes to buy a 60" MOM Racer. It pains me to say that Soaring USA only stocks one 60" plane I would want and at the same time risk MOM...

I've been looking for an F3F trainer to learn how to fly the course and maybe something to fly at the ISR. [Read; pass (I hope) and not get mid aired]. Now I've noticed a persistent theme to all the used gliders I've been looking at. That is that all with huge wing joiner going through the...
