Welcome

Thanks for visiting Remove Before Flight. This blog has been intended to cover anything about remote controlled models in particular flying ones such as helis and planes.

Like countless other rc blogs or websites, stuff that you may find (in the near future hopefully) on this blog are my inventory of course :), build tips, modifications, upgrades, general info, pic galleries, techniques and other stuff that I think are related to this blog.

Do bare with me as I try to update this blog as often as I could. Once again, thanks for visiting and see you at the field. Fly safe!

Roots of all evil

Despite not wanting to believe that the cause of my engine failures is by the most basic of all causes, I have yielded and have since bowed in acquiescence... ITS THE BLOODY FUEL LINE IN THE MAIN TANK FER GOD SAKES!!! It was like jelly and porous.



Should have checked it periodically even tho I followed forum' advices to throw away the stock and replace with a higher quality tubing (which I did). Conclusion: No tubing can withstand nitro methane's erosive nature..



I suffered 5 engine cut-off mid flight due to this. Damages sustained: scratched my SBs, destroyed my skids due to semi-auto (still learning). It couldve been worse tho.
