I used to work on space hardware. Now I write about it...and RC stuff too.

@smallseyL @testedcom I'm not quite sure what you're asking. That particular statement is a quote from Sir Stanley Hooker's book.

@B_Boss35 @testedcom Most of the written articles (from all contributors) went away when they revamped the site a few months back. It's just evolution. But thanks for the kudos!

@UnrealAllan @Astro_Clay That would definitely be amazing, but...
Here's some info about what it takes to keep a B-29 flying. Extrapolate a little (ok, a lot) for a much bigger airframe with 2 more radials and 4 jets.

@mikedawsonmusic @jerware No, but the strategy I would have suggested has already been mentioned by others.

I’ve been trying to earn my Twitter handle by working on a new asymmetric airplane. This one is a twin and made of foamboard. The maiden flight today went great! #diy #asymmetry #foamboard #rcplane #yinyang #maidenflight

Yes, you can tie an RC airplane in a knot...and fly it.

@FrankIppolito @Leeflea @HobbyFitz @RCRoundtable @FlyingSaucerHou Wish I could have been there!

[Terry Dunn @weirdflight]

Yup.

I confess that I've been on both sides of this conversation.
Have a great weekend!

When the US Army needed airplanes to train thousands of glider pilots, they improvised.

@MorRobots @testedcom >Of those people, who dosen't know how to use a brushless motor or dosen't have a brushless model?
My experience suggests a majority of e-pilots lack understanding about their power systems (brushed or b/less). With new RTF/PNP electrics, they don't really need to know.

[Terry Dunn @weirdflight]

@MorRobots @testedcom >Who is actually flying a DC brushed model in 2019?
Not many, which is the point of the article...how to convert a legacy brushed model to brushless. In my area (Buffalo), there are tons of RC swaps meets where older brushed models are still abundant. Often dusty...but abundant.
