Has anyone tried the Kylron Fusion paint as yet to see if it is fuel
proof.  Does anyone know a water base polyuratane that is fuel proof
at least to 10% nitro.  I have tried several and none are fuel proof.
Thanks

After many years away I'm returning to the R/C hobby.  I'm looking for a
patch cable to plug my Futaba transmitter (round plug) into my PC
(serial or usb?) to get used to the controls again on a simulator before
heading out into the wild.

Bought a(n original) Miniature Aircraft USA Excel 60 some 10(?) years ago
(+Webra Blackhead 60 motor, Sanwa non-Digital Heli-RC). Built-it. Wound it
up a few times, but never flown it. Just 're-discovered' the hardware in the
spare room. But now got kids, no time, and a wife that ...

Hiya all
Anyone in South Africa that can help me with choosing a suitable
frequency for ground AND air use?
Sort of planning on a Hitec Eclipse 7, which I will use for

Anyone build a Ziroli P-51 using the fiberglass fuse Nick sells ?

I'm looking into buying a gyro to install on the rudder of one of my planes.
Anybody have experience with using a gyro on aircraft?  Any particular gyro
you would recommend?  I pretty much know what features are available on

A radio-controlled ornithopter (machine which flies with flapping wings) was
stolen from my car while parked near Watlington, Oxfordshire today (6
February 2004), between 2.30pm and 2.45pm. A window was smashed, and these
items were taken:

I wasn't disappointed, as usual it was appalling. I make no such
generalisation about the good work the BMFA do for us, but at the same time
the newsletter deserves recognition. It is, well, excrutiatingly painful to
read. It has been one of life's little comforts for me. Just as ...

OK here is my situation, I have an old model which has been covered with
dope and tissue on the wings.  This isn't a problem and "should" be fairly
easy to remove. (if there are any tips here then let us know)
However the balsa fus has been finished using a lacquer or probably

I was sent this link, regarding a plane that was chopped up by a chainsaw?
To an airplane nut, this looks like vandalism at its worst.  As there is no
byline included with this pic, does anyone know about this? publicity stunt
or..?

Hello group,
Here's the question;  Given similar size/pitch/rpm/etc. , which generates
more thrust, a 2 blade prop or a 3 blade?  (I already know to go down an
