"So how is it safe to fly BVLOS if there is no sense and avoid? What am I missing?
Why is the Cessna 150 flying around at 2000' agl the biggest risk?
ADS-B out is going to cost upwards of 10K to purchase and install on a general aviation aircraft,…"
"Nice work and application on the Frantz strut.
I agree on the need to balance and remove as much source vibration as possible. I always started with a balanced prop and motor combo then running each up individually. Turning the prop 90deg at a time…"
"Gary that's nonsense. A typical glideslope is 3 degrees from the touchdown zone of the runway so if you remember your trig you will find the aircrafts height at the distance from the runway. It's really easy, 300' per mile is the rule of thumb.…"

"It's a solid tried and proven design, you just need to loose the metal. Every gram is robbing flight time. Replace it with carbon and use nylon hardware.
Also that stock Turnigy rx does not handle failsafe last time I checked so that could be an…"
"I started flying these on PG-03 gyro's and then switched to HK-401's which were a big improvement.
Never as stable as a quad because of the tail rotor movement and gyroscopic forces, but they just look cool and still loads of fun."
