I am recovering my first plane.  I bought it used and after learning to fly it
was in need of a new skin.  I have stripped all of the old covering and plan on
starting on the fuselage first as it seems like it would be the easiest.  I
have done some research on applying monocote and ...

I came across this website while surfing tonight. They have actual
WWII pilot training films for many warbirds. These are available in a
streaming video format, free of charge. They also have other
documentation on-line. Great for scale details, or historical

Basically when glueing in the tailplane I have somehow managed to glue

I'm thinking about a Thunder Tiger Pro .61.  Is it as good as all of the
raves for the .46?
What prop size would be best.  I like APC best.  It will be going on a own
design, kinda pattern, kinda sport, kinda heavy. <g>  I'm thinking no more

When do we get our AMA renewal forms?

Does anyone know if Hitec servos come with extra servo horns?
Specifically the HS-81.

Hey everyone,
A couple weeks ago I was posting about my awesome first flight with my Kadet
LT-40.  Now I'm posting about it's demise.
I'm not entirely sure what happened,  Basically we were flying in winds

Went to Bruntingthorpe Airfileld today to see the old jets doing their
runs up and down the runway, and inbetween runs, there were 2 blokes
with jet propelled models.(well they sounded pretty much like jets, and
the exhaust smelled like a jet).

I bought an O.S. 91 S II for the S.E.5a I'm building, coming along
great...My question, in the engine owner's manual it notes to Be sure to

What does that entail??? thanx, ken

Can anyone tell me if there is a web site that has detailed info on WWII
planes.
I am interested in there dimensions. Would like to find a site that has
drawings

Don't you just love pottering about in your shed, gluing, fibreglassing,
planing, sanding, covering.... while the rain steadily patters on the
roof on a wet sunday ? Isn't it relaxing to dissapear into your own
little hideway and think of all the sunday drivers and shoppers clogging

I have glassed the center section of a 2 piece wing and am having a helluva
time getting the monokote to adhere. Is there a trick to this?

I'm new to RC Helicopters, looking for a demo of a PC trainer
Could anyone recommend one?
Thanks
Clive

Anyone put ailerons on this thing.  I was thinking of decreasing the
dihedral and putting ailerons on mine.  Any comments/suggestions?
