TOCINOWACK 2
Posted August 3rd, 2006 by Juancho MorenoCategories: 3D FIXED WING
I was doing my usual rounds of reading everything in the RCPhilippines forums when I ran accross this word. How strange I thought. Tocino & wack mixed together. I had thought that some bloke had mispelled my hometown’s specialty dish… it turns out, it was something more.
“An all-electric fly-in” was the description offered, and Maddafunker gave a good historical background on how the first Tocinowack had come about. Interesting I thought.
Despite threats of wind and rain, the organizers decided to push through with it. And we were truly blessed that day with good weather & great company. Read the rest of this post »

Not the same Mini Miss America referred to in the story “Sailing in Zambales” but a Miss Am nonetheless.
SAILING IN ZAMBALES
Posted July 25th, 2006 by Juancho MorenoCategories: SAILING
Sometimes, my wife’s family and I gather together for a reunion of sorts during Holy Week. The venue for these gatherings is usually held in Iba, Zambales. This is the provincial home of my wife’s uncle - Jun Aranas. He has a largish beach property there.

The kits of Radio Controlled Helicopters should have a proper label on them saying “GOVERNMENT WARNING: RC Helicopter flying is dangerous to your health. Contains addicting substances.”

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
Posted July 14th, 2006 by juancho morenoCategories: ABOUT RCPHILIPPINES
To the best of my recollection, the first person to ask me about my reasons for building RCPhilippines.com was Alex Vergara. He’d called me over the cellphone to introduce himself & volunteered to help moderate specific topics covered in RCPhilippines.com.
GUNG HO

The title of this could easily have been “HOW TO SCARE YOUR FRIENDS AT THE FLYING FIELD”. I chose the shorter of the possible titles.
It all started when I gave a good friend Gel Guerrero an old glider - a Windsoar 2.8 meter sailplane. Being a RC helicopter enthusiast, he had no idea how to fly these things. Accompanying the gift was a promise to teach him how to fly it.
CHANGE IN PERSPECTIVES

It had been three years since I’d last gone flying. On July 2005, I decided that it had been too long, and it was time to get back into the Sport & Hobby.
OKAY BA? (Vista Real 1998)

My first visit to Vista Real is a story worthy of RC Fables. I came to the flying field on a sunday with a single glider. At that time, I had brought an Olympus - borrowed from the legendary Fil Avena.
Upon arrival at the flying field, I was quickly introduced by my companion Tom Bautista to all the flyers present. One genteman to whom I was introduced, was this fellow named Mang Jimmy Dim. Little did I know then, that he was quite famous for his generosity.
