Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / September 2003

A while ago, someone on this group posted the link for a set of instructions
for the Supernova 250 charger, these were much better than the ones provided
by Pro-Peak/Ripmax.
I downloaded the PDF files for the manual & flowchart at the time, but now I

I posted a few construction photos of a SIG Astro Hog to
alt.binaries.radio-control this morning.
It will be a tail dragger, powered by an OS 70 Surpass. It will have the
receiver and S3004 servos that came with a Futaba 6XAS I lucked into for a

Can i ask anyone have they had any dealing with this online company...
Thanks !

Don't waste your money on the new Wattage Odyssey park flyer.I bought one
thinking it would be a fun little plane. The geared 180 motor is so anemic
that you have to pray for altitude. It can't get out of it's own way. It
won't do aileron rolls, it won't loop.

I am building a 1/6 scale DHC Chipmunk and would like to finish it as one of
the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Chippies, but, I am having some
trouble finding good photos or close-ups of the decals or much at all that
would help me to make a good job of it.

I'll be running in a new engine soon and just wanted to know best way to do
so. Its a .47 GMS 2000 with remote high end needle valve. Instuctions call
for running engine for 15-20 minutes before full throttle ops and thats
about it... Isn't there more to it than that? As usual, ...

Does anyone know a good starting point for the high speed needle of a Saito
325 radial? I can't find the manual for mine and don't see anything online.
Thanks, Dan

No crystal, 3 year warranty.

I'm looking for an F-18 Hornet ARF or kit...any suggestions?

What is the difference, in terms of performance, between a single and a double wound electric motor ?
I presume that the double windings are in parallel and therefore half the resistance of a single wind (assuming that the same gauge of wire is used in both cases). That being the ...

could someone tell me where I could find the deffinition of class A,AA,AAA,etc.
events? thanks Eddie Fulmer

I finished assembling an Ultra Stick 40 and found the model to be a little
nose heavy.  One of the guys at the flying field suggested I move the
elevator and the rudder servos further back.  By locating them on either
side of the fuselage about half way between the leading edge of ...

This plane rocks. I took it up for the first time this weekend. I installed
a YS 63, which seems to be perfectly matched to this plane. If YS still sold
the 91 I would probably have gotten that (it woulda been ridiculously fast),
but the 1.10 is just toooo expensive for a 5-8% ...

I am wondering if somebody has experience with the Great Planes P-38
Profile kit and it's flight handling. And the same question goes out to the
Morris Hobbies twin fun fly plane. Your suggestions are appreciated.

I decided to go ahead with using clear minwax polyurethane on my plane.
I went to Home Depot and most of the Minwax cans were labeled for
indoor use and none were gloss.  I thought the ndoor stuff would not
have any UV resistance so I looked for an outdoor product.  Minwax had a ...
