Why? Seriously WHY?

I'm almost 40 years old. Why did it take so long for life to introduce me to an airbrush. It's like 20 years I spent playing guitar before I got on my first drum kit and realized I'm not a guitarist,...

Heli Max 100 SSL crashing over and over.

Okay so I'm a little rusty after not flying a long time. I got this brushless 3d flybarless and I was so excited. Got it out of the box, and promptly crashed it breaking it. Get some replacement...

Added a ESC fan and onboard cell monitor to my Sidewinder 3

I was having a lot of problems with overheating even with under-drive pinions on my new Castle 5700 system. There is no fan header on the ESC and nowhere to mount a fan so I had to get creative.

I am a digital artist. I disliked oil painting due to mess, long curing times, thick, unresponsive paint, only being able to paint on canvas. Never got into acrylics because it's similar to oil but...
