Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / February 2004

(sorry if this appears twice but I cannot see the original post)
I have been trying to set the fail safe function on my radio but I cannot
set any F/S to anything other than 50% the instructions state press both
data switches simultaneously but 50% is the only setting that is stored ...

I just rered mine with a super critical eye due to previous thread and , you
know, we are being harsh.  In terms of *content* it's on a par with the rest
of the mags...a bit of power, slope, scale, plus indoor, eleccy, helis etc.
Much the same as Aeromodeller was.

What causes a plane to horizontally wiggle (fish tail) when flying under
power? The control surfaces are true and slop free and the CG is exactly in
the right place with a dry tank.

Does anyone have a manual on the Ace R/C Digipace 1 charger? A scan
would be greatly appreciated. This was purchased at a local swap meet
and looks like a pretty decent unit. It has a selectable 50ma/120ma
receiver charge rate, a discharge feature with an LED timer readout,

Did you test it?

My work may soon be taking me to the Middle East, in the Saudi Arabia,
and/or Iraq areas.
Is there any R/C flying planes or helis there?  What about hobby shops?
Mail order shops that serve the area?

I like Power Poles but I see that many use Dean's.  And then
there are the Tamiya connectors.
what are you folks using?

Last night I left my 2 Kokam 11.1 V batteries connected in parallel
for about 10 hours. They were brand new and were not put under load.
To my surprise, they had the same voltage value when checked,
(11.55V).  When I first checked them their voltages varied by about

My husband thinks there is a software program you can get, that when you
attach your remote controls to the computer, you can simulate flying a model
airplane.
Anyone heard of this, we don't even know the title of any programs that does

Hi folks..
We fly off a grass patch which is regularly visited by moles. It occurred to
me that others must have the same problem and wondered if anyone has found a
cure.

I pranged my Thunder tigre trainer (MKII) last weekend, and broke the engine
mount (nothing else thankfully!).
Trouble is, I can't find a replacement engine mount to fit the existing
mounting points on the firewall.

Just got a TT Cloud Dancer 40 ARF.  It was well packaged and there was no
damage.  It is all built-up construction covered with UltraCoat.  The
covering job is excellent.  Hinge slots are all cut.  I don't think weight
is going to be a problem.  I haven't weighed the pieces yet, but ...
