...for delivering in UNDER 24 hours - in fact in about 16 hours - 4
servos cheaper than the out of stock LHS would have sold them to me for
-*including* postage and packing.
11 out of 10 on that one.

I usually seal my planes with Balsaloc prior to covering with Profilm.
Anyone know if this is yer typical PVA adhesive i.e. is Unibond the same?
Just run out but got a truck load of Unibond,

Hi group,
   I'm soon to be in the market for a new radio,  and I'm looking for a
feature I can't seem to find anywhere.
   Are there any Txs out there that either have assignable channels for

I would like to get a flying wing, but am not sure which one to go
with.  I have read a lot about the Zagi 400 and Windrider Ele-Bee.  I
would need everything including radio and charger.  The problem is
that I need it to be at a price I can convince my wife is acceptable.

Saw an ad for a glider that somebody was selling, and it says --
  covered in silk (not silkspan!)
I've personally used Monocote and Ultracote, and I've seen some
gliders covered with some really thin translucent coverings.  But I've

I just got a new 2400 mAh NiMH battery for my plane.  I know the initial
charge should be at 1/10C, but is there anything else I should know before I
hook it up?  Should I drain it first?
Thanks,

I haven't been able to find this info on any of the FAQs that I've
read so I appreciate your help here.  When I build a plane and install
the servos, how do I match the frequency of the servo to that of my
handheld RC controller unit?

I am debating between these 2 engines. The OS is listed with a higher
HP rating (1.8 vs 1.5) and it is less expensive, but I have never
owned a 4-stroke and the 63 looks like a nice one. As far as
performance, what differences can I expect between these two?

I want to make a 18" wingspan free flight model.
What would be a suitable motor?

I've lost the name/website  of a company making needle-bearing
connecting rods for these engines.  Anyone remember?
Thanks

I have a JR 3810 ADT Radio Set. I currently remove the battery to fast
charge. If I make up a lead to fit the transmitter, can I fast charge
through this without removing the battery? How much current can you push
through the transmitter?

I'm almost ready to fly my first tail-dragger, I've flown mostly trike
geared planes.
can anyone tell me in what position the elevator should be in during rollout
to lift off ?  This is a 1/4 scale cap 232.

If I run my OS52 4 stroke at full throttle I feel some fuel being blown
back on the intake side of the mount. It is mounted horizontal. I assume
 it is raw fuel coming out of the intake. Is the intake valve open too
long or something wrong with the seat. Seems to run ok from ...
