Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / November 2003

I'm getting out of the Hobby.
I have many engines, receivers, servos, a Kyosho Sensation, a GP Giles,
chargers, field kits and much more.
Please contact me to get a detailed list by removing the X's from my email

Can someone tell me the correct length of the antenna wire for a JR R600
Receiver on 72mhz.  My eye tells me the one I have is a bit short.
Thanks in advance.
Have a good day.

Anyone know a decent freeware/shareware RC sim? I just want something for
playing around with, not a real flight trainer.  Keyboard/mouse controls would
be fine.Thanks

For my vent line I use a Slimline unit that essentially is a fitting
with a pressed-in cap. On a recent maganize I recall seeing a
different unit where the cap had an outer thread. This, I thought,
made it easier to remove the cap. Anyway does anyone know who makes

I would like to move my receiver battery forward quite a bit, the
receiver is staying in the middle of the plane.
The ignition module and ignition battery up up front next to the
firewall.

We all know that building light results in a lighter all-up weight, lower
wing loading, and happier flying.
Getting your wing straight and true, getting the tailfeathers on square and
aligned, all make for sweeter flying planes.

OK, since the last discussion got squelched, let's try again.
I am getting a TT  pro .61,  Tower .61,  or Fox .61 or .74
Bear in mind I have had much luck in getting Fox engines to work well, where
others in the club have not, so don't discount them.

I've not flown RC models in about 7 years--1996. I guess I lost
interest somewhat after totaling my last plane--a Lanier Stinger 40 (A
dog, BTW, to heavy). I built and flew a Goldberg Eagle 2, Quickee 500,
Midwest Super Hots, and the Lanier.

Hello;
Well, the Bee was in a pretty good-sized mishap some time ago...
Happily, all the damage to the airframe has been repaired, pending one
aileron servo, but my battery pack has a slight bend in it two fifths of the

I just hinged and glued my rudder in place. After the epoxy dried, I
realized that I forgot to attach the tailwheel gear to the rudder! The tail
gear that comes with the kit requires that I attach it to the rudder then
the back of the fuse. There is nothing I can do without wrecking ...

Does anyone out there have any experience or comments to make on the \IPD
receivers being sold by Flair.
They appear to have the fail safe capabilities of PCM but are slightly
cheaper.

Hi, I'm new at this (which along with my parentage would explain the silly
question to follow)
I'm waiting for a buddy box cable to arrive so that I can learn to fly
(rules rules rules)

There are lot's of us "leeches" who refuse to register on RCU (and never
will) but sometimes "leech" at RCU to check out sales items or messages.
(Actually, I am registered but will never again sign in. I spend most of my
time over at RCGroups.com.)
