So it’s been a couple of months since I’ve flown any of my planes or driven any of my R/C cars. They’ve all been busted up in a broken pile of parts and clutter and I just haven’t had the time or energy to get them back up and running…until last weekend. The [...]

Last weekend the inevitable happened – I crashed my Brio 10. Though overall the plane flew quite nicely, its bad tendency to snap with elevator input finally got the best of me and it went into the ground. I had about 30 flights on it, and no matter how docile I was with [...]

So I’ve been having a lot of fun flying my current set of planes, each one offers something the others don’t, so once I’m tired of flying the one, I swap my only receiver into another plane and fly that for a few days. A couple of weekends ago the weather was so nice [...]

I just wanted add a few more pictures and write up a quick blurb about the most recent flights of my Brio 10. I found a new place to fly, even better than where I maidened it. There’s a new subdivision going in right next to mine that is a little more than [...]

I’m going to keep a running tally of the new Thunder Power eXtreme 2200mAh 3S lipo battery pack I just bought for my Brio 10/Stryker/Super Cub planes and figured here would be as good a place as any to keep record. The charger I have is the Duratrax IntelliPeak Digital Ice. The pack [...]

This year for Christmas my wife bought me the E-Flite Brio 10 ARF R/C plane complete with all the accessories needed to get it flying. About two months ago I was browsing through the latest Horizon Hobby catalog when I noticed a great deal on the Brio 10 with a Park 480 BL motor [...]

I thought for sure it would go down in a fiery death spiral from which it would never return. Instead, upon being released from my hand, it flew straight and steady and climbed ever so slightly and slowly into the sky high above. With very little additional trimming, she was flying beautifully for [...]

Once again I’ve fall prey to Tower Hobbies’ $10 off coupon tactics to get me to buy stuff I don’t need, but can’t pass up because hey, it’s like getting $10 for free. So I bought a Great Planes FlatOut Extra 300S for $19.99 (which came out to $9.99 after the 10 bucks off). [...]

I’ve gotten a lot more flying time with the F-27C Stryker over the past week and all I can say is this plane is so much fun to fly. And I’m still using an old 8-cell pack too. I can’t wait to get my new 3S lipo pack. Today I finally decided [...]

Here’s what I’ve found out about getting a lipo pack for my Stryker:
Compartment will easily fit a pack that measures 4.5″ x 1.34″ x 1.5″ (LxWxH). With some modifications, a longer pack could fit, however the 4.5″ appears to be long enough to fit just about any pack that falls within the other 2 [...]
