Not sure if this is the right forum choice, but here goes.
I was looking into getting into the hobby of flying some radio controlled air planes. No, not those little 12" buggers you get at radio shack, but more of the kind that have 36-48" wing spans.
I did a little browsing and found some sites that have planes and parts etc.
There are varieties that have gas motors and also ones that have battery motors. The battery ones can fly for 10-12 minutes, but did not find anything on the gas motors yet.
Has anyone had any exposure to this type of activity and what would you recommend to get for a beginner. would Gas or Battery motor be the better way to go? I'm all about trying new stuff and learning, so beginner status wouldn't last long. Is flying these things difficult to learn? Would it be better to take some classes with a trainer to pick up the basics or can you learn on the fly pretty easy?
Maybe i could put floats on it and take in the boat when fishing is slow too.
there a bugger to clean but oh so worth it.
mom used to brown it rolled in flour and salt and pepper. put it in a roaster add onions, dry onion soup mix and bake it. depending on how bog or old it was pretty much depended on how long it needed to bake!!!!! usually a good 3-4 hours!!!!
Any recs on how to find a good general dentist in Stamford? I will be paying cash. Getting a referral from a trusted friend or family member would be nice but let's say this isn't an option.
Thanks
We get eggs from locals who have chickens. The difference in shelf life between washed and unwashed eggs was weird the first time I heard it. Months for unwashed; maybe a month for washed.
Farm fresh is a fair amount different than from the grocery store. Bigger yolks and thinner shells are two of the more noticeable differences. I had my first red yolk eggs a few weeks ago. Kinda freaked me out but it’s no big deal really.
