Yet another week has flown right by in our hobby, welcome back to THE Cub Report. In some areas of our country, it’s blizzard conditions, in others (Hawaii anyone?) it’s a perfect 80 degrees. Inside the exceedingly well lit and remarkably well appointed BigSquid offices it’s always 72 degrees. We hope wherever you may be that it’s perfect rc weather. Months [...]

Hello good people of the rc world, and welcome to yet another vitriolic edition of your favorite weekly rc column…. So, one of the guys in the ROAR camp sent me another scathing email, which I thought was quite odd as Cubby’s Wheel Of Doom hasn’t landed on ROAR for weeks (a wheel I spin to determine who I’m flip’n out [...]
