I have an old Tempo II from Balsa USA.  It has a flat-bottomed parasol
wing with significant dihedral and was originally designed for three
channel use.  I added barn door ailerons.  I believe it will have a
significant amount of adverse yaw when making a turn using the ailerons.

As many of you know I was having problems with my YS 63. Before getting
through the first gallon of 20/20 the engine began to idle erratically and
it would always die when I cranked the throttle. I just got it back from YS
today. They did not charge me a cent, and on the invoice ...

Has anybody tried to nickleplate(re-nickleplate) an ABN engine that is
low in compression but is not worn out otherwise(bearings etc.)I
understand that an inexpensive method is called BRUSH PLATING but only
deposits a very thin coating.

Saw a 3d demo at the field and was really impressed. Probably due mostly the
skill of the pilot but the plane was a very good flyer and appeared to be
well put together.
The plane was powered with a .46 engine and was called the Diablo X. I got

Is there a pause? (like I got to take a wiz or talk on the phone? And a hot
key?
Thanks, in advance

I have an AXI 2820 10 brushless electric motor with about 15 flights
or about 90 minutes of used from it. At first the flight duration was
about 7 minutes at medium throttle. Then as time passes, the flights
became shorter.

I've taking on the task of building a topflite .60 size F4u Corsair.
I've been flying a couple of years but this is my first kit to build.
I plan on using mechanical retracts, actuating each strut with a
Hitech hs-75BB, and would like to have one strut lag behind the other

I'm trying to find a plan for a beginners model (4 cha, cca .40) with
detailed - build from scratch - balsa model. If anyone can send me their

Didn't someone organise a specific newsgroup for all this AMA crap?  No-one
outside of the US (and probably many from *inside* the US too.....) wants to
keep seeing this bickering over AMA elections et al.  This is a global
'forum' guys......surely we can all keep it relevant?

Can anyone here tell me if there's a difference between the "Bycmo R/C
Impreza" on sale via Radio control magazine and the Tamiya equivalent?
The advert for the Bycmo says it will do 40mph yet adverts for the Tamiya
say it will only do 20mph yet the two cars look identical and the ...

like the diamond dust or holy smoke.
want to have high speed and roll rate.
thanks lots.

At 9-50 p.m. tonight ( Thursday 25th) on BBC2 there is a programme "
Industrial Nation". The programme description includes " a modeller who
built and flew a 200 year old design". I was there when the flying was
recorded - should be good. Only a ten minute programme though.

This is absolutely amazing and shows how clueless RCU is. They want their
USER's to become a shill for their advertisers.
Like I said, amazing!.. and it's getting worse than we thought it was going
to be.

Hi
I bought a HMM Vendetta from a fellow club member who never got round to
building it. Unfortunately the horizontal stabs are uneven, ie the right
hand side is slightly higher than the left. Its an A.B.S. plastic fuselage
