I have long been a supporter of MyBlogLog and in many ways it was the many articles I wrote about how they could improve their site that led me to doing some limited consulting with Blogcatalog.
Vimeo – Remove Your Videos & Links Now
Paul had a nasty Christmas present, an email notifying him that his training videos were in breach of Vimeo's no commercial use policy.
You could believe his shock, with so many popular tech, web design & SEO blogs being allowed to flaunt the rules.
Warning: Amazon Blogger Integration Broken
Blogger (Google) and Amazon it seems have collaborated and introduced a way for people using Blogger to monetize their blogs using Amazon.
I wonder if Google is making some money as a 2-tier affilaite referring so many affiliates to Amazon
Google Real Time Search Too Personal?
Is Quality Content Needed To Make Money?
I first published this post under a different title almost 3 years ago (Jan 17, 2007 @ 6:55), but over the last couple of days it has become specifically relevant.
At the time Jack Humphreys was offering a training program combined with high end blog hosting called "Authority Site Center" which was the successor to his previous offering, "Content Desk".
First of all I was just going to post it with a quick introductory paragraph, then I decided it really needed some additional examples.
Has Mike Filsaime Flipped His Lid? (& how I screwed up)
Blog Success & Affiliate Tracking (pt2)
I love teasing Jack Humphrey as in many ways it is like the student testing his new prowess on the master that taught him. I learnt a lot from Jack in my early days and whilst when I first started online I couldn't afford to join his then "Authority Site Center" that still didn't prevent me emulating many of the systems that they had in place.
Dell Better At Social Media Than SEO?
Real WordPress PPC Landing Pages
I am still working on some stuff with dynamic tracking links, but if you are using WordPress for PPC you might also need to think about dynamic content.
I know there are a number of WordPress Themes and plugins that claim they are intended for use with PPC, but they are not going to solve dynamic keyword insertion, and that could have a massive effect on conversion rates & quality score.
WordPress Hacked? Total Security Lockdown
It is no huge secret that I have had this WordPress blog hacked twice this year but some consolation is that I am not alone.
Helpful resources
Alex recently launched a DVD course on WordPress security that is available for FREE + shipping
Stop – I know what you are thinking – FREE + Shipping these days normally comes with lots of strings attached, forced continuity often hidden etc. Whilst Alex does cross-sell a few related products, the main offer is genuinely free.

The Levittown School District has put forth a $198.7 million spending plan, which, if approved by voters on May 20, will increase taxes by 4.01 percent next year for residents who did not file grievances this year.
On April 28, members of the Levittown Community Council, a civic group, invited Levittown Schools Superintendent Dr. James Grossane to speak about the budget and how it could affect both student welfare and parents' wallets.
"We understand that taxes are very high; I live in North Merrick myself, and my property taxes have tripled in the last 10 years," Grossane said. "The administration has worked very diligently to craft this budget for next year. We're not cutting any programs, and we're staying within our maximum tax cap."
Spending in the proposed $198.7 million budget represents a 1.62 percent increase—or $3,168,560—over the previous year's plan.
The district's proposed levy increase is set at 1.62 percent. This equates to an estimated tax rate increase of $1,136.27 per $100 of assessed property value, if the adjusted base proportions remain at their current level. The tax rate estimate of $1,136.27 per $100 is a increase from last year's adopted budget, which came with a tax rate increase of $1,092.50.
However, according to Assistant Superintendent of Business and Finance Bill Pastore, the 4.01 percent figure only applies to those who did not grieve their taxes this year. He said those who grieve their taxes will see their overall school tax bill go up about the same as the 1.62 percent levy figure.
This budget cycle, the school district is scheduled to receive $49,163,299 in State aid—which amounts to a $690,049 more than last year when the district received $47,520,220.
The bills not covered by state aid must be paid for out of district revenues, financial reserves and/or taxes from Levittown residents. Grossane pointed a finger at diminished funding and rising mandates — like the tax cap — coming from Albany, as putting the squeeze on budgets in Levittown and elsewhere.
"The people in Albany think that everyone on Long Island is wealthy, and we need to send a message that this is not the case," the superintendent said. "They're driving people off Long Island because they're sending school aid money elsewhere and not here."
As Grossane explained, although the spending increase and levy increase are the same percentage this year, that does not represent the same amount of money in each case.
"Basically, we've kept the budget-to-budget increase significantly below what it's been in the past. All the items that we can control, we have controlled, and those that we can't, we can't," he said. "We've done as much belt-tightening as we can, and we're still delivering the same programs."
Grossane explained why the board chose not to try to match that feat, but instead seek more from taxpayers.
"If we don't ask for an increase, that money is gone forever. It never comes back. If we go forward with a zero percent increase, we will eventually exhaust our reserve funds and will find ourselves at the cliff that many New York schools are heading towards."
Even so, Grossane said a proposition will be on the ballot this May to allow the school district to tap into its Capital Reserve Fund to pay for the upkeep of several buildings and facilities. He noted that the funds already exist and that their use would in no way increase or affect the taxes of Levittown residents.
"Last year we asked residents for permission to establish a Capital Reserve Fund," Grossane said. "We have to ask your permission to use that money … it's a way of supporting our buildings without having to tax you for it."
According to Grossane, because the school district had money in its reserves, it asked voters last year whether to put it in a capital reserve for major projects. He concluded that since the reserve funds don't come out of the actual budget, it is not going to impact school taxes.

So, where was Labor on Labor Day?
It seems national media was busy reporting other news. Significant happenings in sports and such warranted only a nod of recognition to the national holiday. Working people feeling the sting of the pseudo-economic recovery were likely disappointed to see no reflection of their reality on national news networks.

Labor Day is Monday. And while many folks take the long weekend to relax, the symbolic end of the summer means something different to union organizers.
For them it's a day to celebrate the solidarity of their workers.
This year, policy in Indiana and across the country has continued to limit the influence and power unions have – and union membership is following that downward trend.
Planning still underway for Labor's day! Share this flyer, and tell your friends you are going on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/neiclc. We still need volunteers, to make sure everyone has a short shift. If you want your union banner to be showcased at the park, bring it by noon on Friday, August 29th. See you at the planning meeting!
Please bring two comments from your assignment: Speak to two people you don't know about their hope and fears about education, employment, economy, etc. (15 minutes)
I. Results of NEIFPE education survey to candidates (15 minutes)
II. Research on how fiscal irresponsibility of state government is impacting everyone. Economic development accountability – how much does economic development take away from education (15 minutes)
III. Unemployed and anxiously employed survey (15 minutes)

NEW YORK, N.Y. — Eugenie Bouchard is out of the U.S. Open.
Caroline Wozniacki defeated Maria Sharapova at the U.S. Open to reach her first Grand Slam quarter-final since 2012, while Gilles Simon made fourth-seeded David Ferrer the first men's top-10 player eliminated.
Wimbledon runner-up Eugenie Bouchard pulled out a suddenly tight match Saturday night, edging 30th-seeded Barbora Zahlavova Strycova of the Czech Republic 6-2, 6-7 (2), 6-4 to reach the U.S. Open's fourth round for the first time.

Venus Williams knows what she has to work on as she continues her preparations for the U.S. Open. Williams's serve failed her Sunday as her Cinderella run at the Rogers Cup Canadian Open women's tennis championships ended with a 6-4, 6-2 loss to third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland.
Here is a selection of photos from the 2014 Rogers Cup women's tennis tournament at Uniprix Stadium in Montreal.
Serena Williams is happy to see her older sister Venus playing well, but she's not thrilled at the prospect of facing Venus Saturday afternoon in the semifinals of the Rogers Cup Canadian Open women's tennis championships. "I feel great when I see her playing so well (but) obviously not when it's time for me to play her," Serena said. "I definitely don't like playing her. I think I've lost to her more than any player on the tour, so it's not a fun match."
Martina Hingis walked away from tennis in 2007 but she said this week that she still feels the competitive urge. And that's why the former No. 1 on the women's tour was in Montreal to compete in the women's doubles at the Rogers Cup Canadian Open women's tennis championships.
Maria Sharapova said she has plenty of time to sort out her game before the U.S. Open and that might explain her early departure from the Rogers Cup Canadian Open women's tennis championships. The fourth-seeded Sharapova had a month layoff after Wimbledon and the rust was apparent in a 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 loss to 14th-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain.
MONTREAL — Rogers Cup tournament director Eugene Lapierre was disappointed when hometown favourite Eugenie Bouchard lost in her first match, but he said the Canadian Open women's tennis championships will survive the loss.
MONTREAL — Rogers Cup tournament director Eugene Lapierre was disappointed when hometown favourite Eugenie Bouchard lost in her first match, but he said the Canadian Open women's tennis championships will survive the loss. "We were hoping that Eugenie would do well here, but we still have the best players in the world and they are entertaining players to watch," said Lapierre, noting that the event was on track to beat its own WTA attendance record of 175,000 spectators for a weeklong tournament.

OK...Now I am sure some of you not familiar with the farm are wondering how do you dress a turkey. First, you have to find a small suit! And then... OK just kidding. Dressing the Turkey actually means liberating the head from the body. Then we undress the bird...(Take off the feathers). Then an ...

iPhone 3G S in the UK: what you need to know
Fan Boi
Okay, I'm something of an iPhone Fan boy - although I can still acknowledge some its missing features (now only LED flash)
I still love the iPhone, look forward to OS3.0 but think O2 have royally f***ed up. The new pricing is bad enough (although why current 3G users expect to be able to cancel/break their current contract without penalty is beyond me).
The real killer is the insane tethering costs. £15 a month? I thought I already had an 'unlimited data' plan with the iPhone. I can understand O2 not wanting users to hammer their (crap) 3G network for 10's of gigabytes per month, but why not a soft cap of 1-2gb per month. I imagine for most users, the occasional ability to use tethering would be useful - but most don;t use it enough for £15 per month.
Roll on Vodafone/Orange iPhones......
O2 unveils electronic organiser for families
I'll take one
...if I can have it thown in with my iPhone contact/O2 broadband :)
Would be quite usefull in for me - but as above, A browser would mean I could easily connect and control the living room Media mac.
Noel Edmonds defies BBC's jackbooted enforcers
Still funny after 104 comments?
"There is no IT angle to this story. What is it doing here? I am removing The Register from my bookmarks. Please cancel my subscription. I am also dissatisfied with today's weather. Please make the weather the way I like it. Goodbye."
O2 prices up the latest iPhone
2 year deal?
I thought it was a 2 year exclusivity agreement?
Although IIRC, AT&T in the US is a five year agreement
BBC races away with five-year F1 rights deal
Not so sure
ITV moved F1 coverage forwards IMO. Sure, they f***ed up with the adverts for a while.
But I'd rather have Adverts and Brundle than no Brundle - so please come with F1 to the Beeb please, Martin.
The others I can take or leave....but I've developed a massive fear of John Invadale presenting.....I think I'd rather have big nose Rosential than him.
As for Murry - God bless him. I think he should make the odd studio appearance but I think his commentating days are behind him.

Re: Ian Davies

MS lawyers take out AutoPatcher
Autopatcher going for 4/5 years without hiccup - amd M$ aware of them.
It stinks that they now close them down (or the download page at all). Us techies rely on autopatcher quite heavily in some cases. It's so much easier - particularly for house calls (not that I do many)
Once again M$ makes it harder for their own users and people who try to support (fix) their software

RICHMOND, Virginia (AP) — Governor Terry McAuliffe says he did not approve a fundraising appeal his newly formed political action committee (PAC) sent promising donors personal access to the governor in return for specific donations.
Gov. McAuliffe said Thursday that young staffers sent the letter recently on his PAC's behalf without the governor's knowledge. The fundraising letter said that $100,000 donors to the new Common Good Virginia PAC would receive a private dinner with the governor and his wife, as well as monthly meetings with policy experts. Donors of lesser amounts were promised other opportunities to meet McAuliffe.
McAuliffe, who was the former Democratic National Committee chairman and a major fundraiser for former President Bill Clinton, said he did not like tying set donation amounts to types of access and won't be abiding by the PAC's letter.

Middle managers typically spend the equivalent of 2.5 workweeks annually on irrelevant email, but they don't want their ability to use email limited or interrupted in any way, according to research findings released June 2012.
To be successful, young workers need to develop a lot more than job-specific knowledge, experts say. Of the so-called soft skills needed for success in the workplace, communication skills are particularly critical.
Communication skills are the most important and the hardest to find, according to China Gorman, CEO of CMG Group, a talent management consultancy. "Being comfortable one on one with customers, colleagues and bosses means being comfortable with yourself and confident in your abilities," she said.
Melville, N.Y.-based Leviton, a manufacturer of electrical devices, data center connectivity solutions and lighting energy management systems, launched its newly redesigned website.

A posting on a message board of the Toledo Blade on the closing of Fleeger's PRO Hardware reflected the challenges facing a small business in a down economy. It also shows one employee's passion for the business.
The employee's comment on his experience at Fleeger's PRO Hardware appeared in a long stream of comments regarding the closing of the store. Here is the note in its entirety:
In one of the most passionate outbursts of reader mail of the year, the industry resoundingly sided with a retailer's right to advertise -- or not to advertise -- wherever it deems fit.
All customers are not created equal.
During Lowe's annual conference Tuesday, senior VP marketing and advertising Tom Lamb defined the company's target customer by first breaking down home improvement consumers into four distinct groups.
Lowe's target, he said, is on the two largest spending groups, together called "creators."
Siding 2011, organized by Principia, will kick off with a keynote speech on the future of the industry by Peter Dachowski, former CEO of Certainteed.
In addition to the Dachowski presentation, the first day of Siding 2011 will include sessions on "Curb Appeal" and "Distribution Channel Dynamics." A panel discussion with builders and siding contractors will touch on several issues.
The National Retail Federation announced that it has asked the Commerce Department to delay implementation of a controversial plan to vastly expand Internet domain names, saying retailers and other businesses need more information before moving forward.
Denver -- The air was thick with sports metaphors during Ace Hardware's General Session of the 2011 Denver Fall Convention & Exhibits.
Ace's top marketing and merchandising executives mixed retail strategies with quotes from Knute Rockne and Vince Lombardi during a presentation in which they described the top 10 plays for winning at retail. The session even included half-time highlights of power tools and football touchdowns.
Philadelphia -- True Value Co. CEO Lyle Heidemann presented some positive numbers during the co-op's Fall Market general session, as he encouraged members to remain visible to their customers.
Speaking here Friday morning at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, site of the company's fall market, Heidemann pointed to positive recent sales gains across the co-op. Since the third week of May -- a starting point selected because it was the beginning of this year's delayed spring -- retail sales are up 4.3% at True Value, with every department positive, he said.
Do it Best Corp. has named Ferguson Advertising its agency of record, assisting the hardware and lumber co-op in a variety of its marketing efforts.
"We're excited to announce this new strategic partnership with Ferguson Advertising," said Tim Miller, VP marketing for Do it Best. "Our advertising, marketing and public relations work will certainly play an important role in our future growth and success, and we look forward to Ferguson's contributions in these areas."
Quikrete has announced the launch of new smartphone-friendly features, including a mobile website and Quick Response codes, which will be printed on advertisements and retailer bin tags wherever Quikrete products are sold.
The QR codes are paper-based bar codes, and may be scanned with smartphone cameras, using a previously downloaded application that's increasingly common.
New York-based Haier has redesigned its Haieramerica.com website.
"Over the past several months we have globalized the Haier brand through a consistent logo and company tagline, Smarter Life-Better Planet," said Richard Block, Haier's VP marketing, North America. "The next component of that strategy is our website, which now has a new look and much more consumer-friendly navigation."
Michigan-based home improvement chain ACO Hardware has expanded its relationship with Vertis and named the company its exclusive provider of newspaper inserts, Inserts2online and logistics.
Peter Kleinman has been promoted to the position of director of marketing for Leviton's distribution channel.
In his new post, he will be reporting to William W. Marshall, Leviton's senior VP sales and marketing. Kleinman will lead the marketing, branding and advertising for the company's full line of products across the distribution sales channel.

A survey conducted by Cone, a brand strategy and marketing firm, indicates that most consumers continue to misunderstand phrases commonly used in environmental marketing and advertising, giving products more credit than they deserve. At the same time, most Americans are willing to punish a company if they think they were deliberately misled by "greenwashing" claims.
An article in the New York Times reports that Sears' aggressive "Turf Wars" advertising campaign is part of a trend toward mentioning competitors by name.
Described as a marketing platform including social media and online video clips, The Sears Turf Wars campaign brings Lowe's and Home Depot into the picture.
Consumers still want bigger houses. Plus, design is more important than price.
Those were two of the somewhat surprising results of a consumer survey shared by the keynote speaker during the 2011 Building and Infrastructure Conference last week.
John Burns, the keynote speaker and president and CEO of John Burns Real Estate Consulting, said 44% of consumers said they would want to buy a bigger house in the future, compared with only 22% who said they want a smaller house.
Advertising Age, citing an internal announcement, has reported that VP and chief marketing officer Frank Bifulco has been replaced by former VP advertising Trish Mueller. Bifulco was with the Atlanta retailer for almost three years.
Mueller joined Home Depot in 2009 after serving as senior VP marketing and advertising at Sports Authority and VP advertising at American Signature.

A Martell man is facing charges after an argument with a neighbor got out of control.
Deputies arrested Allen Chilen Tuesday night for third degree assault and resisting arrest.
Sheriff Terry Wagner says Chilen became upset when he received a notice about his dogs being potentially dangerous. Wagner says the dog had gotten out and killed a neighbor's chicken.
Wagner says the noticed allowed law enforcement to update the address information for Chilen.
A deputy was sent to Chilen's home in Martell to serve child support papers.
Because of this, Wagner says Chilen back upset with his neighbors. He says Chilen went to his neighbor's house and began yelling at them.
Deputies were called to break up the disturbance.
They took Chilen into custody, but the fight didn't stop there.
While deputies were driving Chilen to the Lancaster County Jail, he tried kicking out the back window in the patrol car.
Wagner says deputies stopped the car to further restrain Chilen.
They had to use considerable force to get him under control. Wagner says it took four deputies.

The FMS 1400mm BF-109F is finally available in the new brown color scheme. Our favorite feature on this plane is the unique "multi-stage" split flaps. This is in addition to servoless retracts, lights, and the usual FMS top quality construction. While the BF-109 is certainly enjoyable to look at on the ground, it is even more enjoyable to fly. The FMS BF109 has great vertical ability due to the larger motor and three blade prop. Flight manners are very good. The BF109 looks as unique in the air as it does on the ground.

Posted by Nicholas Kazantzidis on 7th Sep 2014
The Build is easy and fun. The flight performance is great and a joy. Then there is the take off. Taking off is a not easy with this plane even if you are on a paved runway. I am sure for the more advanced pilots they can get her up without flipping her. For a newer more intermediate pilot, all you need to do is pick up the Eagle A3 Gyro for $22 and you will be extremely happy all around. There is even a video by Motion on YouTube demonstrating the difference. Trust me, it is a must to get the Gyro if you get this plane.

Assembly while adding modifications provided by RC Informer, took some time, but are well worth it. The plane looks great and flies fantastic! Don't let her size fool you for speed and performance. One of the fastest and most powerful birds I have.
Like everyone states, she is a mess taking off... well not really as long as you know how to manage rudder control. However if you do not have a rudder thumb, it will be a mess and take-off will be impossible. She does turn hard when taking off even with the most gentle throttle inputs. That's just the way these birds flew back in WWII.
Holding her straight on take-off, she lifts with grace and beauty, however once those landing gears and flaps are up, she turns into a war killing machine and flies with angry authority! Vertical full power is almost endless, rolls are precision, full speed fly-by"s are amazing!
Landing with flaps requires little air speed and she really moves slow. I really enjoy this bird. I am using a 2800Mah pack and around the 3:20 min mark. Landing with approx. 40% batt left. Using mid throttle most of the time.
I have 2 complaints;
1. The prop/cone is just a terd to balance. Its very large and awkward, but it is a large plane. =D
2. One of the main landing gear retracts failed. It will not retract out anymore. She has had 8 flights and the typical brand new, trim-ins with the gears that is needed to be performed a few times, to verify operation and proper seating. Failure of the retract caused a nasty emergency landing my last flight. Sadly, that was her last flight. I haven't enough money to replace failed/damaged parts and the warranty expired a few weeks after it failed. (Go figure)
If you are looking at this bird, know how to manage rudder control on take-off, and want simply a fun war bird, go click that "add to cart" button. This plane is well worth the coin spent to buy it.

Just finished the build today and it was a GREAT experience! I took my time put some classic rock on and had a beer or two = ) Building it was half the fun. Do not rush it. Just relax and do it right the first time. Came together great. Only thing you have to do is make sure the motor is connected to the ESC and program the throttle control on the ESC. My motor would start at half throttle. Do this by plugging in the bat to the ESC through your reciever and having your throttle up to full on your transmitter. The esc will beep twice then quickly throw the throttle down to low then the esc will beep twice again confirming the throttle low position. Then you will good to go! All in all a beautiful plane. I feel like i now own a piece of history.
Posted by Unknown on 18th Jul 2014
I previously wrote a review titled "Nice BF109 without the Lengthy Build". The plane now has around 100 flights on it. The BF109 is the FASTEST of all the FMS warbirds. Guys are buying after market motors and ESCs and trying 5 cell packs just to keep up with me. All I did was balance my prop and increase the space between the spinner and fuselage to 1/8 inch. The motor mount does twist and flex in flight yielding to torque and precession. The addition spacing allows for this without rubbing and throwing off the prop/spinner balance. Also, I did open a small inlet for motor cooling. And at about 75 flights my motor slung some of its windings out far enough to be sheered off by the stator. It still ran. And it was still fast. But I replaced it before failure because I do value this model. Its been great fun. If you have friends with other FMS warbird it is a ball to chase each other around. All of the FMS warbirds are good. But not all are fast. The Zeros and the Mustangs are slow. The BF109 and the FW190 are the fastest. The Mustang drivers have been upgrading their drive systems and are achieving good speed.

The manual version is green and not brown, this manual is old seems photocopying, remaining two pieces that do not know what for.
Missing details in this manual as the range of motion commands.
Posted by Chris H. on 30th Jan 2014
Great to fly! Plenty of power and comes to life with a large MAH battery (3500 and up). Unforgiving on takeoff, especially on a grass field with an uneven surface. I recommend installing a rudder gyro and enjoy flying. Trust me, if the Germans could have placed a rudder gyro in their 109s they would have! Very durable airframe but, the landing gear shaft will bend on a hard landing. Don't be concerned, dive in and you will not regret it.
Posted by Kevin Goodspeed on 7th Jan 2014
Despite a few minor issues with the build (one of the flaps hinging was so thin it had ripped away; but an easy fix), this plane went together well. Take ultra care when gluing the metal bar that connects the two horizontal stabilizer halves. I would suggest mounting the wing, and so you have something to align against when positioning the tail while the glue sets.
As with the original, this plane is squirrely on the ground, and it will take slow throttle acceleration with the proper amount of right rudder to get this bird off the ground in a somewhat realistic fashion. Otherwise it will be one of those rocket takeoffs yawing drastically to the left.
Once in the air, this plane takes on a whole different personality. While moody and finicky on the ground, in the air it is a smooth and very maneuverable, and can perform most aerobatics without an effort. Flying inverted no worries.
With the flaps deployed (they look too cool with the split levels), the plane slows down nicely, and landing is easy, until your wheels touch. Then it's back to slow throttle manipulation and a good left thumb for rudder as needed.
I love this plane.
I bought it in the green and white camo, and after 5 flights took the decals off, and with some fine sanding and putty, and some great Acrylic paint, I now have the F-4 Trop as flown by Hans-Joachim Marseille.
It's a beautiful plane, and a part of aviation history. I have 7+ flights on it now.
I hope FMS keeps improving details and functions (I'd like to see compression gear in all their warbirds), because it will get really fun!
As for MotionRC, I have dealt with many hobby outlets, and these guys are the real deal. They provide great service. Orders leave their warehouse within 12 hours normally. If something is wrong, they right it. I won't shop anywhere else.
Thanks FMS and MotionRC!!!!!

I agree with the other reviewers that take-offs with this airplane is for the experienced flyer. Once the airplane is airborn, the right and down thrusts of the motor causes the plane to fly straight as an arrow, with almost no rudder coupling. Landing is a breeze with the flaps. The stock motor with stock propellers installed without modification generated 860 watts of power on 4s, 4000mAh 40c lipos. I must warn that a 2x1" air inlet must be opened up on the bottom of the fuselage cowl to allow for proper cooling of the motor (not in the instruction). I did have significant overheating of the motor, in which the generated heat transferred to the prop shaft and caused softening of the backplate of the spinner, necessitating replacement of the warped spinner backplate. Craftsmanship is excellent.
Posted by Unknown on 27th Oct 2013
Here is a lean, mean, light and tight 109 with no fuss. I can't get over it. It flys nice. I looks great. I'm using 4000mah packs which give great duration. Its a little PIOey on landing. I had to dial the flaps way back and slow down the elevator and even add 3/4oz. to the nose. But it lands easily now. And the tail wheel doesn't turn very much so you don't have a fighting chance in a crosswind once the tail wheel is on the ground. But, choose your days wisely and try to land into the wind and its just fine. Be the BAD guy to all those Mustangs at the field ! You are the Hun in the Sun !
Posted by Will Haufe on 6th Oct 2013
I was extremely satisfied with the quality and detail of my BF 109. Once in the air it handles very well. Plenty of power for climbs and combat rolls. Be aware that take offs are a little tricky. It suffers from left turning tendencies if you pull up before getting enough speed for the control surfaces to have their desired effect. Other than that, it is a real pleasure to fly and it is very well made. As will all pre-assembled planes, make sure you add a little extra glue to hold all of the servos in place and make sure all of the wires are securely fastened.

I have to thank the guys here at Motionrc for having great stellar service in communication and also shipping! I got this plane ordered last monday and by thurday it was at my house! I also had placed an order with the fruit stand the friday before and didnt get a confirmation of it being sent until I was mid way threw building this one up. I have inquired about several models and get responses in the hour, these guys care and appreciate their customers!
The flight itself was very straight forward. This plane has seen some new design work which if you have owned an older FMS BF(probably the white color one) then you know how hard the little screws are to install into all the servo horns, which seemed much easier this time. The paint and everything on the plane was great and the build took about an hour. BUYER BEWARE, this plane acts very similar to the real one and that it requires a little more right rudder and longer roll out on take off so that you dont do cause a tip stall. This is probably one of FMS's most challenging warbirds for this exact reason. Some of FMS's other models like the hellcat and the zero are great starters for this size.
When she is airborn, she flies like she is on rails and has great speed and sound when zipping by. I would not recommend this warbird if this is your first 1400mm sized FMS bird because of the previously mentioned tendencies. Lastly, you will need some throttle when coming in for landing(25-30%) and she will come in great. For any experienced big foamy pilot, this is a great plane that will challenge and reward you at the same time.
Posted by Sc4dr on 11th Mar 2013
Let me start buy saying how great this Messerschmitt looks when it's flying towards you! The huge spinner on the front, and the large Luftwaffe markings make this plane stand out from the rest.
Flight characteristics are equally as impressive, with no bad tendencies to speak of. The prop, and spinner that came with it balanced ver well, and in flight you can barely hear it. This thing flys silky smooth, with plenty of power! FMS did their homework on this one.
The only negative that I see so far is the landing gear is a tad sloppy where the metal trunnions meet the plastic gear leg. And I also had a issue with one of the gears not functioning. I unplugged the flight battery, and gave it a few seconds, then plugged it in, and it worked..... Weird. Hopefully this does not happen to me in flight!
Those issues were still not enough for me to give it less than 5 stars. This plane is going to become the first one I grab when I go to the field!
Thanks to FMS, and the guys at Motion for providing a great product. Motion continues to send me planes within 2-3 working days, along with the best customer service in the industry!

LED Post Top lighting fixtures are an effective way to use high efficiency LED lamps in traditional post top pole lights, lanterns, acorn-style lamp posts, or even in contemporary lamp post designs. The LED Post Top lamps and Acorn Style fixtures are designed to be retrofitted into traditional or historic cast iron poles. Additionally, the LED lamps and fixtures listed below can be used with any number of current pole lighting designs.

Decorative post top lighting is a very diverse outdoor lighting application that ranges from acorn style fixtures to highly ornamental pole lights. These LED lighting products offer numerous choices for retrofitting of pole lighting, by replacing incandescent, high pressure sodium (HPS) or metal halide (MH) lamps in post top lighting applications with energy efficient LEDs. Several of the Post Top lighting LED retrofit kits qualify for rebates and are DLC qualified. Metro LED Lighting's economic analysis has shown these replacement LED kits have high return on investment. By changing out inefficent existing lamps / fixtures, rapid paybacks are achieved in decorative pole lighting applications ranging from pathway / walkway lighting, lighting in recreational facilities, historic districts or for residential or commercial area street lighting.
Post Top lighting retrofitted with LED Fixtures or lamps can maintain the aesthetic and design elements of decorative pole luminaires. A wide variety of color temperatures are available in the LED retrofits that can be configured for a warm incandescent feel (3,000K) or a bright white MH lamp look and feel (5,000K). The optical configuration of the LED Post Top lights minimize sky glow, help with light trespass, and the LED sources are directed for better quality lighting on both horizontal and vertical surfaces. These LED Post Top Lights typical benefits include:
LED Retrofit Kits are available for decorative pole lights, in a post top configuration or for acorn style lighting fixture, and lantern styles. Highlighted features for pole fixtures/ lamps include:
