ParkZone UM Mosquito
This is my Parkzone UM Mosquito. I’ve actually had this plane for quite some time, but it’s been a real hanger queen; I could just never get it to fly right. The problem turned out to be tail heaviness. Rather … Continue reading

JAS-39 Gripon EDF (RETIRED)
This is my JAS-39 Gripon. It’s my first EDF (Electric Ducted Fan). I’ve had a series of problems with this bird, mainly having to do with its CG. Out of the box, the plane is way nose heavy. There is … Continue reading

UMX Gee Bee R2
This is my E-flite UMX Gee Bee R2. It’s a fun little plane which I’m still trying to get a handle on. Landings are especially difficult. I’ve also run into the Gee Bee’s not uncommon Overpower Cut-off problem (OPC). With … Continue reading

The Frankenstick (RETIRED)
The last time I reorganized all my boxes of parts, I realized I had enough bits and pieces to put together a plane. Thus the Frankenstick was born. The wing is from an old HobbyZone Mini Super Cub. The fuselage … Continue reading

ThinkGeek Micro Metal Gear Helicopter
I got this tiny guy from my brother-in-law for Christmas. It’s a ThinkGeek R/C Micro Metal Gear Helicopter. I am really surprised at what a sweet little flier this bird is, especially given its tiny size and its $30 price tag. … Continue reading

Micro Moth – 26″ scratch-built Tiger Moth biplane
I love my GWS Tiger Moth 400 so much, that I really wanted another. But I also wanted a small plane, one I could fly in my street. At the same time, I’ve also had a growing urge to try … Continue reading
Parkzone Ultra-micro J-3 Cub
This little guy, a Parkzone Ultra-micro J-3 Cub, is one of my favorite airplanes. It’s easy to fly yet astonishingly nimble for a 3-channel plane. I got tired of replacing motor shafts and propellers every time I nosed over on landing, … Continue reading
