I've heard about adding turbulator bars / spars onto wings to increase
performance.Does anyone have any input on this?
TIA

Whats the best RFR electric plane on the market now for under $200 bucks? I
have 4 channel radio so I dont necessarily need the transmitter as part of
the deal... Thanks

Hye There,
I`m building a modelairplane, an old Snoopy 2, with a span of 106"
(270cm), a fuselage length of approx. 79" (200cm) and a overall fly
weight of approx. 15lbs (7kg) and a OSmax 120 - 4 stroke engine in

This is my first post in this group.
Yesterday I crashed a brandnew "Last Down XXL" Electro glider : Total loss
of control.
The plane has 2 aileron mini servos, 2 flaps mini servo's, 1 servo for

Where can I buy foam that is good for building wings for an electric
plane?
Thanks,

I got a GWS GWR-4P  receiver today along with servos for a plane I
bought off of ebay.  I am using a Futaba 6EXA  transmitter, using the
most common signals - throttle, rudder, elevators, and ailerons.

In the interim, are there any good links that people can recommend that

I'm looking into building a scale version of a P40 from technical
drawings.  I would like to fly it with an OS .40 that I already have.
My question is what size should I make it?  Looking around, I cant
really find any models with .40 less than about 50" wingspan.  Is this

I have a Glow .45 sized Mustang and I would like to know what would be a
good combination (brusless motor, ESC, and lipoly battery) to replace a
.45-.60 glow engine?

is it possible to remove the paint from a pressurised spray paint can to a
container to use with an airbrush?
if so, how?

Recently I've read a post here about Ben Buckle Falcon.
It was very interesting to know that this quite big plane has
a splittable (for easy transportation) wing construction without any
external struts.

I have noticed on a couple of my engines that when they initially start
there is slight leakage between the cylinder head and cylinder but it stops
as soon as they get hot. When cold the cylinder head bolts appear to be
tight. Is this just how things are or do I need to do ...

I accquired a Wattage Crazy 8 second hand through some horse-trading.
The previous owner had buggered up the motor mounts such that they
were not useable.
I looked at the LHS for something to replace them, but found nothing.

What is the local (UK) equivalent to "Coverite 21st Century Fabric"?
Any experience of using this - as opposed to Solarfilm & Profilm?
Thanks
