My first Scratch Built
So I know it's been a while...
I been really busy with school. Man do I wish someone would have told me that, becoming a doctor is not as easy as they make it look on TV....
But I did finally finish my F22-V2,-----YAY!!!! and it came out GREAT!
I just the PINK Fan Fold foam, I have yet to seen anyone on youtube make a F22 with that. So I was a little worried about if it was going to work. But it looked and it flew great!!!
I call it the PINK PANTHER
I did CRASH though. :-( But I can say it wasn't because of the plane, it was because of my novice level piloting....lol.
Here are the Videos, LEAVE COMMENTS on the links to the
RCGROUPS FORUMS or the RCPOWER FORUMS

Let's get a Transmitter....
For most people, seeing someone else flying is what drew them to
the hobby. Now it may just be the geek in me, but for me it was the first time
I saw a Transmitter, or as I called it back
then the remote control. When I first saw something like the Spektrum Dx6i with
all the switches, knobs, and shiny buttons, I was sold!!! I just knew that any
hobby that involved knowing how to work such a complex looking piece of
equipment was sooo going to be worth it.
So
I am at the point now in the hobby, where I know I’m going to be in it for the
long haul. Not saying that I am going to quite Med School, and open up a Hobby
Shop (as appealing as that may sound, at the moment). But, there comes a point
,as a newbie, that you start to realize "yeah I can see myself working on
planes 5-10 maybe 20 year from now". When you get to this point, you now
start to transition from thinking about getting stuff that is
"cheap, and work good enough" to getting things that are going to
save you money in the LONG run...And let face it money is a BIG issue, one of
the draw backs of this hobby is that it tends to be pretty expensive, (without
the right guidance.) But lucky for you, you found my page!!
But anyway let's say you have got pass all that. One of
the scariest investments is looking for a transmitter. You want to
find one that is of good quality, as will last a while. Everything I post
on here, is from weeks, and weeks, of asking questions and rummaging through
the forums. (So that you don't have to.) After all that, I came across one said
to be even as good as Dx6i and Futaba are,
but less than half the price. That Tx is the 9x model of transmitters. Too good
to be true right, and it probably is. However, from what I heard and read the
pros far outweigh the cons with this one. Now, this Transmitter goes by many names: Turnigy 9x, Fly Sky TH9x, iMax9x, but there
are all the same. One of the biggest selling points on this item is that it is EASILY UPGRADE-ABLE,
making it hard to out grew....
HERE ARE SOME HELPFUL VIDEOS AND REVIEWS
WHERE CAN I GET MINE?
- http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__8991__Turnigy_9X_9Ch_Transmitter_w_Module_8ch_Receiver_Mode_1_v2_Firmware_.html
- http://www.hobbypartz.com/79p-th9x-r9b-9channel-radio.html (THIS is where I got mine, they offer free shipping, and it cam within a week...
http://www.verticalhobby.com/kauppa/...ry-p-2165.html
http://www.leluja.net/th9x-transmitt...hz-p-1853.html
http://www.silshop.fi/shop/index.php...productId=2219
These are all finnish shops, so you might want to google "TH9x" or "iMax 9x" yourself and see if you find some shops near you.
If you want turnigy, and turnigy only, then you have to buy it from Hobbyking, since its their brand and no-one else sells it. Well except ebay of course:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=turnigy+9x
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Turnigy-...#ht_500wt_1413
Hope this helps"
I GOT MINE...you should get yours...working on a unboxing video, where you can see how it looks fresh out the box...COMING SOON

New Tx....I'm waiting
Hey guys, quick up date. I ordered a FS-TH9x last week and just got the conformation today that it's out for delivery, and I should get it before the end of the day. So I am literally waiting by the door. I heard great things about this radio, so I'm excited. As soon as it gets here I'm going to do an unboxing video, and brief review.
I'll include, all the information I gathered, and explained what brought me to this decision as my first REAL radio...( I say real cause I dont really count the Dynam radio I got with my Hawk Sky...lol....So Stay Tuned....

Let the Crashing Begin....
You wake up. It is a beautiful day. Your happy because its the first time weather seem good enough to take your brand new Hawk Sky out for a maiden flight. YOUR READY. I mean you spent a few hours on a the free FMS flight sim, you downloaded. You also finally got your Hawk Sky together (despite the instructions manuals attempts to confuse you). You throw everything in the car, sent out to the biggest open field in your area. After a quick fligth check you start your plane up and your off...SUCCESS!!! Its in the air climbing, and doing well...And then all of a sudden, the GROUND comes out of no where and hits your plane.
HOW TO REPAIR YOUR HAWKSKY (or any RTF plane)
check out this video...All you need is a hot glue gun, and some toothpicks
