I was flying stupid the other day trying to knife edge my Kadet SR. ARF w/
Saito .72 engine when it went inverted and I flew it into the ground. Ouch.
The easiest thing in the world to fly, I was doing the most gentle touch and
go's all day. It was converted to tail dragger. The ...

2 normal NPN transistors what ever you have on stock will work.
good luck..

The el-cheapo scroll saw has earned it's keep this week.
Due to the weather I have spent 3 afternoons working in the shed
(oops, should be... aircraft research, construction and refurbishment
establishment).

Ok then, who saw super models 2 yesterday with the first test flight? pretty
impressive I'd say! especially with the howl of all those turbines. bit of a
rough landing though.

Would the Hobbico Avistar be a better second plane compared to a Sig
4*40 or Goldberg Tiger 2, especially if I am in no hurry to learn wild
aerobatics?

I see that the GWS servos are about as reasonable as can be, with their SO4
heavy duty servo costing only about $21 each.
Can any of you guys in the group report as to your experiences with the GWS
servos?

I managed to get some footage of me flying my 50 yesterday at my flying

I have several Sanyo 600ma "AA" NiCads that are several years old and aren't
used for R/C anymore.
My wife has Christmas candles using "AA" cells so the cells are being used
in the candles.

Has anyone tried to use one of these 12V solar briefcases to charge
park flyer batteries in the field?  Seems like it could be quite
useful.  Says it puts out 12V and typical 700mAh.  I would worry about
