Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / January 2004

I want to get a 2 or 3 channel RTF airplane for a beginner.  I want to
keep costs below $200.  Everything in the box appeals to me, and I'm
not interested in using servos, etc. for other planes or other uses.
I checked out this site,

Does anybody know where i can fly my model aircraft in ripon, north yorkhsire.
Many Thanks,

Has anyone hasd success in making a buddy lead for a Hitec Eclipse 7 to a
Hitec Eclipse 7?
I have read that there is a problem with using the Futaba leads and to save
some money I want to make one myself.

Thanks for previous help via questions and history research. This
helped me decide on a mustang kit 40 size from great planes. I hear
this kit is discontinued so snach them up if you like them.
My question is on which 4 stroke (Saito) engine to put in?

Does anyone have the February issue of Model Airplane News which lists
the new sales codes for Tower Hobbies?  By this, I mean the "buy $75
to 149 get $5 off your next order.................".

Anybody built a Yal B-17?  I need some advice on servo placement and other
things..
Thanks

assuming that both types were the same capacity and drawn down to the same
level and charged appropriately.Which chemistry type would yield the greater

I am looking for a 3d plane kit that I had several years ago,  it was a
simple .50 size kit that was a big fat wing, mounted on a carbon fiber rod
with a bid tail section,  I wish I could remember what the name was, it was
a great flying plane.  Any ideas?

Is anyone on this group interested in resurecting Speed 400 pylon racing?
Unlike the old class the idea would be to actually race against other
models. Your thoughts please.

Just finished watching the History Channel Modern Marvels Remote Control.
There is a interesting segment on RC aircraft including some early shots of the
Good Brothers.  They do go alittle extreme in describing the cost.  The only
future listings I could find on the show is for 6PM ...

Hello everyone, I've recently bought a Megatech, Megastealth 2
(http://www.megatech.com/product_detail_aircraft.php?ID=9901). It is a
nice plane but there are a few areas I'd like to improve on it. One is
the surface. It is a Styrofoam model and from a distance looks a hell

I narrowed down my choice to one of these. Anybody have any pro or cons with
either?
I'm only going to charge Ni-cads and Ni-Mh batteries.
Thanks

I have an old fox 15 cl from the early 70s that is missing the needle valve
