Here’s what I’ve been up to recently: I’ve started a new podcast! Yep, no more InsideHeli. I’m now hosting the RC Today Show!

Also new is a website for my Dad’s custom knives. He’s been making knives most of his life, and for the last several years it’s been his full time occupation. If you are looking for a great hunting knife, a unique gift idea, or just something shiny (and sharp!) to look at, point your browser to www.boultinghouseknives.com.

That’s about all I have to report. I’m not sure if this site will ever have much content on it, but I’m keeping it anyway.

Although you couldn’t tell by the total lack of new content on this site! Sheesh. I hope to be posting more stuff soon, there’s much to talk about. Meanwhile, please enjoy these pictures of our recent kitchen remodel

NOTE: This is a repost of an article from the past, by request. I will be creating a PDF of all the old site content and make it available for download soon.

I often agonize over how to do things, sometimes to the point that I start second-guessing myself! How to set up my field box for nitro helis was one of those things. I first decided to buy a complete field box combo, with 12v battery, power panel, starter, etc. But the more I thought about it, the more I decided I wanted to go “cordless” with the starter and glow driver. So, I started researching my options. The glow driver is easy, I just purchased a rechargeable glow driver. For the starter, I saw several “home made” setups with RC car nicad packs strapped to the starters, as well as some “store bought” setups. Nothing really tickled me, but then I read about some guys adapting cordless tool batteries, and decided that was mighty clever! Black & Decker makes the “Firestorm” line of inexpensive tools and batteries, so an investment of $35 got me a flashlight (to cut up for the battery mount), an 18 volt pack, and a charger.  View the pictures on Picasa.

What the heck? Where is all of JPC’s stuff? Good question!

JPC has a new site host, and in between Project Management classes and recording InsideHeli podcasts, he’ll eventually get stuff moved over. Patience.
