At the moment, I can take off and fly around generally okay but my
landings are a bit of a problem.  Is it better to have some wind than
none at all.  My feeling is yes as it would give me better stability.
Am I correct in saying this about the stability or am I talking crap?

I just got a new OS 46 FX and broke in like the books say. I'm using 15%
nitro 18% oil and #8 glow plug , after about 4 tanks of fuel the plug was
dead, wouldn't glow at all so got out another new #8 os plug and put it in
and after 4 more tanks it was also dead so i put in a #3 os ...

Anyoone know where I can get spares (in the UK) for an SC 120 four
stroke?

venue at RAF Cosford , Doe's anyone know any more ? ..KD ..

I am wondering if anyone could supply some details of aeroplanes or at

and battery) for

I have a Alpha 21 glider (only 2 servo's) with electro motor speed 600. I
used it frequently with my own transmitter on channel 42 (40 Mhz) without
problems. I replaced the christal with a channel 51 one in order to fly with

Does anyone know whether a one-piece aluminium engine mount would suppress
the vibration generated by the OS.91 FX.  If so, where to get it?  I
currently use the fiber-glass unit, but it doesn't help at all.  Du-bros
mount seems like the right application, but it's way to big for ...

A quick, I hope, question. I'm just beginning and I am curious about the
Spectra module from Hitec. I understand that you can set the transmiter
to your choice of frequency, but that you must have a crystal for your
receiver to match that frequency. But is it common, or even legal, ...

After reading a many posts about  " junk engines" - " glow plugs" - "
transition problems" and many more I feel the best first thing to learn is
how to set up YOUR engine, carburetor, and proper size prop. In order to
learn to be a good pilot one must have an engine that will run ...

Hello I'm new here!
I have a question about an R/C model.  Very shortly I plan on getting a
trainer like a NexStar or Avistar (what guys in the club I visited
recommended).  I've begun building some little rubber owered flying models

I am writing this in the hope that other Australian modellers might read
this news group.
I am getting back into radio flying after about 10 years.
