This doesn't have much to do with the RC Hobby, but I thought since there
are lot of battery experts here somebody might know.  A while ago, I bought
the Renewal battery system from Rayovak.  I never had much luck with them, a
lot of the batteries wouldn't recharge only after a ...

Hi gang,
Does anyone have any info on Tony Clark kits. A google search returned
references on European sites featuring some of the kits at scale model

he had forgotten the cowl for the plane and would mail it to me.  I
gave him some money just to insure I would get it.

For a Saito?  Another Newbie question.  Broke in my 65 with 15% nitro
20% oil (50-50)  and that gallon is gone.  Got some SIG 10% next, what

fuel for a Saito 65?

My mate owns an SC 120 (poor soul) and has stuffed the
piston/ring/liner.
SC's are no longer available in Australia and the importer has no
further spares and never will have any.

I have a Graupner MC-24  Remote Control system I used
to fly aeroplane models with back home in Germany / Italy.
Now I'm in Melbourne, FL, studying, and I would really
like to fly again... My RC has a 35Mhz frequency, Channel 61.

Having flown around 10 flights with my new Spacewalker I have found the cowl
(which I spray painted with fuel proof paint from the model shop) is
blistering and samll flakes of paint debris is getting everywhere.
Despite fuel proof paint - suspect the odd bit of spilt fuel (cool ...

I will be building a Robinhood 99 (99" wing span) this winter.  I am
building it from plans, so I don't have any written instructions, and
don't know what they recommend for engines.  Anyone have any
experience with this plane, or have any suggestions?  I prefer gas

How easy is it to paint onto solartex,  will the paint flake off or crack.
I am considering using carbody paint.
