Where can I get parts for Thunder Tiger engines?  I need a throttle arm for
a TT .46 Pro.

Does anyone make a beefed up landing gear for the aerobird?
It seems a little flimsy and constantly is bending back on soft landings.

Has anyone ever use one of these in the 46 or 60 size. I'm thinking about
buying one, and was wondering how good they were.

I want to dye a clear canopy on my new Sig 4 Star 40 a dark grey or
almost black tint.  I understand that using Rit Dye is the way to go,
which I went out and bought this evening.  Other than that, are there
any tricks to using this stuff?  Any input you may have would be

Hello everyone in cyberland.
   If you enjoy flying R/C planes and/or Helis or just want to learn to fly
them you should invest in a simulator to train on.  You should not however
spend more than the cost of a brand new plane/engine combo for the complete

I turned my st2500 to a "verted" stance the other day.  Took it out, got it
wet, fuelled and hotted. Pulled it through 10 times.

I need to make up a bunch of ribs for my first gasser ( a 1500 sq in
bipe ).  I have a large supply of 4" wide balsa.  If I cut my ribs ( about
2.25" wide ) from the 4" width I end up wasting a lot of balsa (about
1.75").  If I splice two 4" x 12" sheets together ( making an 8" x ...

When I am at my computer at home I can not go to RC Groups' website.
But when I am at work that computer will go to it fine.   Got another
site like that too...what could be the problem?

I visited the Servo City dot com web site last week and placed an order for
some odds & ends for a project that I have in the works. They offer secure
ordering through the web site, and that is a good thing.  I placed my order
and the next day received email stating that several of ...

'Ere anyone had trouble with Araldite not curing ?
I bought 2 packs of Rapid some weeks ago, I used one pack shortly after
buying them and despite trying increased amounts of hardener it would not
set properly. It just remained soft and sticky even when left overnight.

I just received the following alert from the AMA Safety Committee in

I have recently bought an aerobird xtreme (my second plane, first was
an accipiter badius power glider), & find it to be a low 17 on a scale
of one to ten for exhilarating fun!
I am very new to the sport & have not had the opportunity to get any
