For real gliders, according to this site: All-up flying weight is the weight of the Pilot plus all the equipment including the glider. The best way to find it is to stand on the … Continue reading
Bought a 7.62 mm ammo box
Over the weekend, I purchased a 7.62 mm ammo box from the local military surplus store. The price was only $3.99 since the box was a little bit rusty and dented. It’s the perfect size for my 12 volt charging battery, and all my other batteries. The dent is even nice because it’s a vent … Continue reading
Built GWS Pico Stick with Brushless Power from M-A-E
I built the GWS Pico Stick with Brushless Power from M-A-E, and I used Sumo Glue instead of hot melt glue where needed. The Sumo Glue tends to be a lot more stronger and pliable than the hot melt glue, and I also have more time to correct the placement of pieces. I also like … Continue reading

This weekend is great for flying a kite, but the high winds would just … Continue reading

I want something very slow and light for the local park since the present planes I have are just too fast and big for my present experience level. Seeing my son fly the non-threatening You Build It Air … Continue reading
EasyGlider – First Flight
Yesterday, I had my first flights with the EasyGlider. The first two times I launched the EasyGlider with the Hi-Start, it banked quickly to the right, but from what I learned the previous day from trimming the EasyStar, I adjusted the rudder a bit to the left and subsequent Hi-Start launches went very smoothly. Even … Continue reading
EasyStar – First Flight
I finally had my first successful flight with the Multiplex EasyStar. In previous attempts, the plane kept banking to the right. I tried shifting the battery or manually bending the rudder, but then I decided to shift the default position of the rudder a little bit to the left. After I made that small adjustment, … Continue reading
