Do you remember me?

Well guys, I think I'm back, lol.

Sometimes the personal life just takes over. I had a few crashes, a while back, including my ECHO 290 quad and my Blue Cub. I had about 25 flights on my quad and near 60 flights on my Cub before I crashed them. Very unfortunate but, in the RC World...crashes happen. Sometimes they just take longer to occur. I won't be repairing my ECHO 290 quad. Although I did like it very much, it was very heavy and I'll just consider it a "learning experience". Fair enough :D . I have started a new scratch build quad. It's a bit smaller and should be MUCH lighter. I'm just waiting on a new vtx to get here and I'll be able to continue that build. I think I can repair the damages to my Cub without too much trouble, so hopefully we'll see that plane back in the air soon.

My scratch build "Weston UK Velocity 50" is done and awaiting a maiden flight. Hopefully we can get that accomplished before the weather turns cold. I'm also nearly done with a scratch built 60" wingspan "Big Stick" plane. I've wanted to do this plane for quite some time and I think it's really coming out very well.

My large scratch built 3D plane....it's a slow work in progress. I keep changing my mind about different things and then I redo them, lol. Probably just overthinking things, again.

My Trex 600 Pro DFC is still flying well. My 450 Pro DFC still has an unpredictable tail. I think it's the tail slider that is worn out. I've ordered a new one.

My 500 is still down....long story, lol.

Anyway...I hope to get back to flying this weekend and sharing some more videos with you guys.

Take care! It's time to get ready for work, lol

You don't want to be like me so you go handle it. Didn't even know you were out. Multimedia on here has been sporadic at best due today issues. Welcome back.
