Anyone had any experience with this engine yet? Wondering how it compares to
the 32. (Picking one up from the LHS tonight)

I have a Dremmel tool, all the atachments, and the drill press for it,
but am looking for a vice with x-y movement so I can use the drill
press like a milling machine.  Something I can clamp some wood in and
mill square shapes, or angles, as well as mill to a specific depth.

Just getting started in RC, and have decided to get a Slow Stick.
I got a good deal on a Futaba 6XAS system with the 127DF receiver and
3003 standard size servos. Am planning on using a 2 S 1200 Lipo Etec
and the stock SS motor and a Hitec 300 ESC.

Here's are some battery/battery charging questions.  The scene:  A
Hobbico MKII charger, a 12v (actually 12.2, to be exact) power supply,
a 500mAH 7 cell "8.4v" nicad pack and a 950mAH 3 cell "11.1v" Li-Ion
pack.  Here are the questions:

Some people sugest OS 46 FX

I have been looking at the vmar hornet sport trainer .40 size. Can anyone
tell me if VMAR is worth the money? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for either a Berkut S-37 RC kit, or scale plans.
If anyone can help please shout
Thanks

I have a couple of questions !
Does anyone know if this is legal in Australia?  So far I have not been able
to confirm or deny it.

I'm cleaning up my shop and moving into a new house. So I"m selling
some items, everything I'm selling
is brand new and never been out of the box.  Since my last post I've
decided to sell a few more items.

I have a (John Stevens) Eliminator 134"  F3j model and another similar
plane, but shorter span. Glass fus.
A friend wants me to sell them for him but i have no idea what they are
worth.  Both are in average - good condition. and are ready to fly (just

I have cart-wheeled my 2nd hand Kadet recently. The impact wasn't that hard,
the aircraft just flipped once and it was in long grass as well as close to
ground. Slow speed, near-empty tank.
The nose have broken clean from where it joins the fuselage, exactly where

I am trying to locate a 4 channel transmitter case either mode 1 or 2 with or without the battery, pcb's and antenna but must have the 2 sticks fitted, and it must be cheap.
