Just popped my 4:1 box /motor in the new thermal soarer and this is what I
get...
7 cells, 3600rpm on 13x7, 10 amps.
8 cells, 4100rpm on 13x7, 11 amps.

I got a request from a customer for a piston and liner for a Fox 36X.  Fox

I have been reading this group for at least 3 years.  During the last 3-4 weeks
many very disgusting off topic posts have been showing up.  What is going on?
Who is posting this garbage and turning a good thing into an x-rated forum?
Is there some way to filter this trash ?

I just got a giant seamaster from the estate of a fellow club member.
I'm at least the third owner.
I'm currently stripping the painted fabric covering to redo with
monokote, and some repairs.

I just had my Astro 05 commutator resurfaced and I am wondering how can
I clean the brushes? With everybody flying brushless now, my local hobby
shop doesn't stock the brushes. Whats the best way to clean them?
Dremel with wire brush wheel? Or just clean them up with alcohol?

I am looking for some scale colour schemes and also some information on the
Eastbourne Monoplane, this is for a friend here in NZ, I am not sure exactly
what he wants but anything would be worth a look, he is building a 19"
rubber kit he bought in the UK about 3 years ago.

Recently sold a model with all links included but no radio or servos.
Have now discovered that my last servo arm for a HiTec 805 servo went with
