Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / July 2004

Built a Galaxy AeroJet 540, stuck in a Ripmax LightSpeed 600, 7xRC2000 with
Graupner 8x4 slim prop. Not enough power to fly, tip stalled and completely
wrecked the fuselage. Rebuilt it, gave it a rudder and trike undercarriage
with an OS25LA up front. Result: fast, quiet, aerobatic ...

I use other sites purely because messages are posted immediately.  A
very good example of this being RCModelFlyers.  Has anyone else
pointed this out to google?  This potentially could be loosing them
alot of members and trade.

or such like ..i need to know about wing sections for speed ....the site
iv found has not enough info.
Too much power is almost enough! <G>

   Can someone tell me The "Approximate" Shelf Life of an uncharged, unused
battery like the,
LX2681 Tower Hobbies 12V 4.5A Maintenance-Free Starter Battery ?
I mean, is it like in the weeks, months, years, decades ?  If you bought one

I just bought a Dynaflite DeHavilland Chipmunk (89" wingspan, 25cc gas).
Its a nice looking kit - looking forward to building.  I don't know (and
frankly dont care) whether the full-scale plane had them or not, but I'm
sure the model will look and fly much nicer with retracts.  ...

I'm trying to track down an EMI problem.
This is with my solar  powered RC plane.
Specifics:
I'm using standard 6M RC gear from JR on ch 04, FM on 50.880 Mhz.

That is fast n stable for the "Jett 50 with tuned pipe.
The lazer arrow cant handle it as it brickwalls over 120 mph. Yep seen
the "Diamond dust" n "whiplash and they are on the cards but maybe some
one else knows better.

I am going on holiday to Chesterfield soon, does anyone know of any  RC
model airplane/car shop in that area ?

I'm not an RC modeller but need to use some of the thin birch plywood on
 a woodworking project.  I have never had my hands on this stuff and
will have to mail-order since it isn't available locally.
What I am trying to do is get a feel for the typical allowable bending

I have pics of my new 1/4 Fokker Dr.1 for those who are interested enough to
send me an e-Mail request.  I'll post them on RC Binaries when I get the
chance, too.

I'm considering building a Zagi style flying wing for electrification and
or slope. There seems to be a few styles built in differing materials. I
can appreciate those with one or the other will think there's is the best,
but I'm after a little judgement from those who have or have ...

....of any kind for "Windsock models".
No address or phone number at hand or have they
gone south?

Well done everyone, the 35 mhz Beyblades have been removed from sale. I was
amazed at the level of response and delighted at the result. Cheers.

Eight years ago I flew an R/C Piper Cub that took me about five months to get built.
(not my first R/C plane)
Got four flights on it ... then battery went dead...plane flew off into sunset.
Last week I got call from a farmer 26 miles away, said he found a small plane with my AMA ...
