I'm after a basic mains-powered trickle charger for an 8-cell, 830mAh
NiMH battery pack. I don't want to spend the earth (only just getting
into the hobby, one model only), just want something which will do the
job with reasonable peak detection.

Some time ago I lost a trainer (ARC Ready 2) when it kept suddenly rolling
left, then recovered until it did it again as I was landing and - splat not
much left. Stripped the components (Jeti single conversion receiver) and tested
them with no problems - I'd put it down to ...

Hey guys take a look at the plane that I am making for our club members. It
came out to 2.54 lbs dry!! (has to weigh at least 2.5lbs) Flys great and will
not tip stall.  I fly it with the os 15 la.  There will be 20 of these "kits"
built for fun and practice, and of course combat.  ...

Does anybody know the working e-mail address of the Quantum Models?
The e-mail specified on the site, and another one found in the NG don't
work...
Of course if the service is still in business...

Can anyone tell me where I can buy spares for this engine.  I need the fuel
inlet bar.
Ta,

I am setting up a model with a flat bottom wing and
a flat sheet aileron (actually a dura trainer).

I've had it with CA and Gorilla glue packaging!
I have enough models, and seldom need to build. I still must do routine
maintenance on my models, and glue other things around the shop. When I need
glue, I don't need it tomorrow or next week. I need it _now_.

Anyone have any experience with the Tiger Shark engines?
Sure look like a good value if they are reliable.
Thanks in advance,
Tom Bubb

Giving away my ignorance here, but.
I'm looking for help from anyone here.
The saga of the Citabria continues.
It seems to be running ok now that it's fitted with a new engine.

I am looking for a trainer (I know, common newbee question) that has a
Semi-symmetrical wing (gives me a bit of versatility as I progress).
What planes are available.  I do not a package as  I want to pick a
good 6 channel radio.

Hi all, I am new to this hobbie and have a Trainer with an SC 40 2 stroke
glow plug engine. Can anyone give me any tips on starting and tuning this
engine. I have a chicken stick and an ellectric starter.
Thanks.

I was wondering how most clubs handle their club trainer.Our "past"trainer met
it's demise due to battery failure. I am presently putting another one together
and have taken items donated from club members for the servos, and engine.  The
club bought the trainer new from the LHS. We ...
