Anyone from Europe or other countries that
post here?  What do you folks have to do
to fly?

I just bought a new-in-box Asp 1.20 4 stroke on Ebay. The engine has a
connection that I have never seen before - a fuel nipple in the intake pipe
a half inch or so above the carb.
Anybody know what this is for? The engine runs fine with the nipple closed

The nearest B&Q for me is Wisbech, and the £23 job is £39.98
reduced 20% off now £31.78.
The prices must have a great variation from store to store.

I am looking for any images or info of spitfires with Grey/green cammo and
Duck egg blue underside?
Alternatively, are there any of cream underside, (grey green or Green brown
cammo)

I have a K&B .20 Sportster that is 5 years old but unused and still in
the box.  I was planning to put this in a Great Planes PT20.  I do not
have any experience with K&B.  Are their engines o.k. for general
sport flying?

My EZ p-51 .45 model flies fine but when I bring it in to land it wants to
nosedive into the asphalt. I'm pretty sure there might be too much weight in
the nose. Has anyone experienced this, where a plane seems to fly just fine,
but when brought to land it tries no nosedive?

Has anyone here used a Multiplex Royal Evo radio, and if so, how well does it
work?

Hi to you all, I recently bought a Cosmotec gearbox, 4.5:1, for fitment to a
Graupner 400 motor. When I opened the packet, I discovered that the small
pinion gear was missing, (or i had lost it), whatever. It aint there anyway
! My problem now is, where do i get one from ? West ...

I have just bought a Goldberg Anniversary edition Piper Cub, but the
Assembly Manual is missing!  Does anyone have a spare copy or could
anyone make a copy for me?

Has anyone put an OS 40 Surpass in a Sig Rascal 40? How does it fly? I have a
40 Surpass and I am looking for a nice slow plane for it. If the Rascal does
not fly good with it, what other plane would you recomend?
Thanks a lot.

Does anyone know of an A6 Intruder series turbine rc kit?

A couple of months ago, I acquired an OS 48 Surpass from a guy in California
in exchange for a new in box TT 50 heli engine (genuinely NIB, I had not
removed it form the box). I laid the engine aside once I'd got it, waiting
for me to build my 4 Star. Now I've finally finished the ...

I am thinking of getting a 40 sized Gee Bee.  My question is which
one?  I know there are a couple ARFs and some kits.  Which is more
durable?  A kit with a wood fuselage or an ARF with fiberglass?  Any
help and recommendations will be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
