I am thinking about selling a plane on Ebay. It is a plane with a 72 inch
wing span. Any idea how to ship something like that? Can packing places pack
it reasonablly? Has anyone ever done this?

 Just curious about the physics and engineering of a tuned exhaust pipe, how
do these things boost power ?

I am in dire need of a cheap used stika vinyl cutter. I need it for my work
with kids. I need to make some signs but my company won't buy one. I would
buy it and donate it but it has to be low cost!  Anyone?
Thanks!

I have acquired a b17 it was originally silver but has faded to a dirty
green I have repaired the cockpit and replaced some of the solartex. What do

For a beginner is a gas or electric powered airplane better?  I live
at a higher altitude here in Denver and it affects the power of car
engines so it would impact rc engines as well.
Luckily I live only 5 minutes from an RC flying area on a state park

To anyone that was at the SWAC show in Texas:  Does anybody remember

I am contemplating my first low-winger and cannot decide whether to go
for the Sukhoi or Cap232. They are more or less the same size and
price.
Any comments on preferences will be very much appreciated.

I'm about to order the Flair Fokker DVII

Is the instructions manual easy to follow?
What are flying capabilities of the model?

anybody know something about this plane?

Today I finally got my Genesis CAP 232 in the air.  Been real busy the

and the wing from front to back on both sides.At least it's even.I've
already sanded the trailing edge center peices so don't want to do that
