Welcome to my channel! My favorite things to do and film usually revolve around motorcycling and model aviation. I enjoy building and flying model airplanes of all sorts. I enjoy collecting, tinkering with, and flying old Cox engines of all variations. Lots of my vids show the results of this lunacy. Motorcycling has also been a huge part of my life for over 25 years. The recent purchase of a GoPro camera has allowed me to film some of my latest 2-wheeled exploits and share them with you all.
Colorado Moyorcycle Trip July 2021
Pics and vids from my motorcycle trip to the Top O’ the Rockies Rally in Paonia, CO. Shot footage at Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Wolf Creek Pass, The Capulin Volcano, and other places along the way.

Midwest Fantail Launch II in Clear Lake, TX
Просмотров 9593 года назад
My Midwest Fantail Launch running at Sylvan Rodriguez Park in Clear Lake, TX. I finished building the model about 8 years ago and made a maiden voyage at that time. It has sat idle since then until I attended a model boating event today. She performed very nicely for a very friendly crowd of fellow modelers. Good times! It has the Midwest Model VI engine built from a kit a few years before I bu...
Great Planes Avistar Elite RC Plane
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.3 года назад
A brief demo flight of the Avistar Elite. It has an O.S. .46AX engine and has the optional flap servos installed. A great sporty flyer or secondary trainer. It was a bit rich during this flight. I leaned it out a few clicks and sent it back up running better after turning the camera off.

Great Planes Slow Poke RC Plane
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.3 года назад
This is a short flight demo of my Slow Poke. It was built from a Great Planes kit by my friend, Doc Darnell, over 30 years ago. It still has the original Monokote covering on it! It is powered by a Saito .30 Golden Knight engine, not a .56 as described in the video. Oops. A great flying model in calm wind conditions, though it was a bit gusty when I shot this footage.
Summer Moto Trip 2020

Rode my VStrom 650 Adventure from the Texas coast to Wyoming, Montana, and a Colorado. My friend Rob went along on his Ninja 1000. We met up with some friends along the way and had a great time exploring places like Cody, Beartooth Pass, Yellowstone National Park, and the San Juan Mountains in Colorado. I didn’t take my GoPro along, so this is mostly a slideshow with some short video clips.

Great Planes Extra 300S RC Plane Demo Flight
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.3 года назад
This is a kit-built GP Extra 300S. The earlier version before 3D became all the rage. It has traditional small control surfaces and flies on the wing like an airplane should. :) Magnum .46 engine. Tactic radio. A fellow clubmember built the airplane and I bought it 2nd hand. It's a great point-n-shoot aerobat. Tracks nicely in the air and on the ground.
Sig Four Star 40 RC Plane
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.3 года назад
A quick demo flight of my Sig Four Star 40. She's old, raggedy, and covered in patches, but a good plane for all-around daily sport flying. Powered by a Saito .56 Black Knight 4-stroke engine. This plane was built from a Sig kit and I'm the 3rd or 4th owner. It was originally electric powered but I converted it to 4-stroke glow. It's one of my most regular flyers. Four Stars are just great mode...
World's Smallest Traveling Engine - Cox TD .010
Просмотров 3,3 тыс.3 года назад
The World's Smallest Traveling Engine. This TD .010 is being passed around by members of the Cox Engine Forum. It has been on the road for several years and it is now my turn to play with it. This video chronicles some of the adventures I've had with it. I will soon mail it to someone else and let the travels continue.
Sharkface RC Plane with Cox RR1 .049
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.3 года назад
My 2-channel Sharkface. Rudder/elevator control. Powered by a Cox RR1 .049 rear rotary induction engine. This is a rare engine and not often seen on a flying model these days. Spektrum radio gear. Dymond 47 servos. 6V 300mah NiMH battery pack. Ultracote covering. Sorry for the poor camera angle. I should have aimed it down a bit more to film the engine startup, etc.
Tee Stik Tiny RC Plane with Cox TD .010
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.3 года назад
Flying my 15" span Tee Stik plane with a Cox TD .010 between rainshowers. I built this model a few years ago and it is still a ton of fun to fly. Fast and agile with a mighty Cox TD .010 engine! This plane is scratchbuilt, no plans or kit available. These little engines are prized by collectors now but are still relevant for flying with the availability of modern lightweight RC radios, servos, ...
Corkscrew RC Plane Built From RCM Plans
Просмотров 6283 года назад
I started building this Corkscrew about 10 years ago from a set of plans I purchased from the RC Modeler magazine archives. It was designed by the late Stu Richmond in 1983.. It was first flown in 2011 and has provided many hours of fun flying! It has sat idle for the last couple of years, in need of minor repairs, covering patches, etc. so I refurbished it this week and flew her again with a n...

Estes Model Rocket Flights Including a D12-3 CATO
Same thing happens at my club when I bring out an airplane with a Cox .049 or .020 engine on it. It just brings out the kid in us all.
That stuff happened impromptu while my son had the camera rolling. A great memory of mine, having good times with some fun people at a SMALL event.
you can always go back n add a rudder if needed but other than that its great flying kit!
Very Nice! The Engine go very good! What kind of propeller are you using? 🍻 Frank
Thanks! I usually found the best performance using 5x3 props on that model.
Love the sound of the launch!
Nice yard.is that corn
Grew up in this hobby years ago reading Stu Richmond. Darn good writer and a master RC enthusiast.
That is a very nice flier and you make it look easy , sounds good too love the 4 stroke sound ! Thanks , getback
Thanks! That was almost 4yrs ago but I still have that old beater. 😀
hello, it's nice, I'm watching this video of yours again, the engine runs great.. please tell me who is filming it, are you filming it yourself? are you filming it with your phone or how are you filming it please tell me thank you.
Thanks! These POV flying videos were made with a GoPro camera mounted to the bill of a ball cap. This allows the airplane to stay in the frame, as the camera sees what you see as you fly around. This technique doesn’t allow you to zoom while flying but it keeps the plane in the frame during the flight and allows you to film without an assistant.
Pretty Fast.. what props spinning?? Thank you lot dear sir
I believe I was running a 9x6 prop on the OS .25FX engine.
Hi Tell me what props runing ? Thank
That 'lil bugger RIPS!!!
Wooohooo!!
Cause of death?
Think this would work on a Carl Goldberg Gentle Lady with a wing pod?
Yes, it would work great. I’ve seen several Gentle Lady gliders powered by .049s. I would recommend using at least a Black Widow reedie or a TD engine, not the lower powered reed valve models like Babe Bees and Surestart. Good luck!
What paint did you use on the wood?
I still had some cans of Top Flite Lusterkote fuel proof paint back then. The yellow boat was painted with that and several coats of clear as well. The brown boat was just brushed with thinned polyester resin to retain the wood exterior.
Is a spring starter required for an 020? I just got one and I’m struggling to start it without.
The plane is this video has a TD .010. I have also built and flown models using TD and Pee Wee .020s. They are generally easier to start with a spring in my opinion.
@@TeeBeeZee sorry, meant to put .010
The .010 is definitely easier to start with a spring! Good luck!
Which prop did you use? Thanks
It has been quite a while, many years ago, but the boats were equipped with 3-bladed Cox props. I’m not sure of the size any more.
Model rockets can take a lot of time to properly build and paint but I guess one should not get too attached to any individual rocket! Some of the small to moderately sized vehicles might be fitted with streamers instead of parachutes - less drift although the faster landings increase the chance of fin damage and so forth.
Wow! Brings back some memories, had a Sig Hummer with a TD 049 pressure-fed fuel, that thing was fun! I flew the heck out of it! Got a WN version and building it, electric will be less messy, but I will miss that smell of burned methanol, nitro, and castor oil! Might try to build another one with a TD 049 I found on eBay. Gotta be careful with it, my eyes are not as good as they were then!
I have an Sig Hummer kit waiting to be built someday. I have contemplated using a Cox Medallion .09 in it.
Spinner or no spinner, here comes my electric starter to the rescue! You just needed more beer! LOL!, I miss the fun at SMALL!
Dan really does know model engines and airplanes besides being a fun guy.
That was a fun snapshot of a typical day at SMALL. 😂
I like how with no throttle, you gotta commit!
Great flying and great video. I have the same plane with the same engine 12 years now and still going strong.
Wow, a blast from the past! I had not only forgotten about that video but had forgotten about that day of flying. It was an unusually calm afternoon on the TX coast. Neither my my friend, Scott, or myself has flown models in several years. I think he has left the hobby for good but I hope to start flying again when time allows.
@@TeeBeeZee I hope you get back into the hobby again and good luck if you do . I'm flying rc planes 38 years now and still have the passion. Its a great hobby to be involved in.
Excellent! Love the .020 pee wee!
Thank you!
I feel terrible about your Crossfire! Almost made me cry! Why didn't you find it in that huge, open field with short grass? Did you lose sight when you looked away to check on your igniter & electrical connection? Damn!
The field looks deceiving in this video. The area inside the model club fence boundary is mowed. Beyond the fence lies thousands of acres of thick salt grass that’s infested with rattlesnakes. The Crossfire went way beyond that fence line. It was under parachute when it finally drifted out of sight down range.
This turns me on.
Nothing like the sound of a nitro two stroke at 12,000 rpm........
Just found one NIB on eBay. Should be here tomorrow!
Just received my Cox .049 in the mail, I'm on a mission to revive my childhood!
Hi...that's a nice plane.,.. I also know Titewad, it's similar except that it has a symmetrical aerofoil....and a tricycle...
Hi there, ive just bought a new Avistar Elite arf. I have a Saito 62 which is 10cc. Would this engine in your opinion fly the plane comfortably or woukd it struggle? Kind regards.
Congrats on the plane! I haven’t flown any models in about 3 years due to life getting so busy, but I still have all my models including this one. As you probably know, mine has an OS .46AX 2-stroke engine. The plane is fairly large and I wouldn’t want it to have any less power than it does. It’s a perfect match, really. I’m sure the model would fly with the .62 4-stroke but I’m not sure if it would be as strong. They might actually be closely matched. One thing to consider is the props that are recommended for that Saito. If the diameter is too large, you might have ground clearance issues. If the clearances are good, I’d say try it! Be sure it balances well first! Mine was far too noseheavy as it came. I had to relocate some of the equipment inside and move the battery back, etc to get it balanced properly.
Many thanks for your reply. It was very helpful. I'm going to put larger wheels on the Avistar as I may be using a 13x6 prop instead of the 12x6 that I normally use on the Saito 62. Just to give a bit more thrust. The Saito 62 is lighter than the OS 46ax so it may balance OK without having to add tail weight. I'm just a fourstroke fanatic though I have three planes that are each powered with an OS 55AX two-stroke and fly really well. Your Avistar seems the perfect match for the OS 46AX. I enjoy watching the video. Today I was installing the servos onto the servo tray and have now the servo tray screwed into the plane. Earlier in the week I installed the four servos onto the wings. I normally epoxy the wings together. Did you glue your wings or keep them seperate? Regards Aidan
@@easystar123 I understand your fondness for the 4S engines. I have had quite a few myself and always enjoyed them! I never did glue the wing halves together.
Sorry for all the questions, just one more. Did you have to mix in any down elevator when you deployed full flaps?
@@easystar123I can’t say for sure but I don’t remember mixing any elevator with the flaps. I sure miss the hobby!
at 2:10 sharkface licked the runway...
It was close!
❤GREAT LANDING! Thanks for sharing.
That little 56 hauls it around pretty good. Glad to hear you call it a glow engine. I completely fail to understand how our glow engines came to be called "nitro". I mean when you're running a maximum of 15% how is that "nitro"??? Most of my glow engines run just fine with no nitro.
@@TeeBeeZee Good for you. I've been building and flying over 50 years now. Currently enjoying and number of lovely sport planes in the 60 to 80 inch range . All time favorite is an AstroHog with a K&B .61 two smoker.
Awesome running plane! I am interested in fuel tanks for the smaller planes like this for extended run time. What do you use? Your engines run so well!
Fantastic flying with only rudder !!
20,000+ rpm (minus prop & running.)...😁👌
yeh...cox anything...fox same same...top shelf engines..plain truth😎👍🇺🇸
yeh ..27,500 rpm can be attractive!!😎👏🇺🇸(parts a real challenge)
"People in their right minds" are highly overrated!!!! Great Video...makes for some good Hot Chocolate viewing!!!!😀
Would an .049 be too much engine for this plane?
*I used to make my own fuel with 93% methanol 6.9% Klotz Oil (Red Oil) and 0.1% nitro glycerin. A friend made the nitro glycerin in small batches and when diluted in alcohol is very Very Stable.*
Nice job! I have a 3 stack. Used to have a Trlby 6 pack. Do you still fly?
Noisy little bugger. NEat though.
Very nice! I loved sound nitro engine...Sir! Tell me what size props spin? Thank you lot dear sir..
Thank you. I think that airplane is set up with a 9x6 prop.
Have the same rig love it almost like a avatar hobbyco
What was the weight of this plane?
Where can i buy this boat?
Unfortunate Mean machine.
Yep!
