I'm going to be living and working in the west midlands this summer, boo
hoo.  Are there any clubs glider, power or heli within about an hours drive
of Dudley that'd have me as a summer member?
I have B heli and AI FW as far as the BMFA are concerned and I'd be happy to

Hi all..
Looking at buying another trainer but one that has flaps.  Does the
Ready 2 have flaps and if not, what plane does have them that is based
on a trainer.

I am looking for a supplier of graphics for my Midwest 27% Extra.
Fancy the Microlease livery or something else realistic.
Can anyone suggest a supplier?
Thanks.

If you live in or near the Modesto, California area I have some free R/C stuff
I am giving away but you must pick it up in person.  I have a Kraft Electric
Chipmunk that was crashed but can be repaired or used for parts, a Radio Elecon
Nite Scout r/c car, some Sullivan control rod, ...

Just bought one from the family of a deceased club member. All my other radios
are Hitec and Futaba, if you have a manual or know where I can get one please
let me know.  It came with a 40 size PT-19 that I can't find who made it, one
club member said he thought it was a House Of ...

A while ago, I was at a RC fair in a shopping mall.  One of the vendor
was showing a video of RC airplane crashes.  It was great.  I've not
been able to find it again.  Anybody know where I can get such a
thing?

Just curious is there some universal law that says the day you finish a new
model the wind will be blowing at 50 km/h gusting to 80. It seems to happen
every time.

anyone ?

I'm shopping around for a new 90 size engine.Two stroke or four stroke.
I switch back and forth from "speed to sport" flying so I'm leaning
towards the two stroke.Four strokes are just slow.Torquey but slow as
far as speed goes. When looking at four strokes I did look at OS and

Not long back I did a graphics job using the little .40 GP "Ultimate" as the
base to make a SOS replica of Jim LeRoy's airshow aerobat, "Bulldog".....
I was really pleased with the outcome, and thought some of you might enjoy
seeing the results of the innovative use of vinyl gfx...

I'm building a Great Planes Extra 300s .60 size and am now contemplating
powerplants. The choice has come down to either the OS 91 FX or the Super
Tigre G90.
On the up side I have never had any relaibility problems with OS engines but

I was out a couple of weekends ago going to local yard sales and found a
Futaba Attack 4 radio for $25. I was wondering if this radio is any good. I
got the radio, 4 servos, a receiver, and some odd and end parts in I'm
guessing what is the original box. What should I check for as ...

My first pack has the individual cells discharged with a Triton
charger before initial charge. This pack reads at 12.44 Volts after
charging.
