I'm building an electric model - the Graupner Tipsy. I have the speed
280 motor and the GS100 controller. It came with 2 capacitors. Where
do I solder the capacitors onto the motor:
- Do I solder both of them accross the two leads of the motor

Is the Top Flight Giant scale Corsair finished off?    figures   now that I am
ready to try one of those.. anyone out there with one of these in their shops
that doesnt want or need it?   any suggestions for other kits?   I like the
price on the TF.   I have located several kits   ...

Hi Plankers
I have recently got into 3d electric planes and I'm having great fun with my
new ZoomZoom.  However, I'd like a glow powered model capable of the same
sort of stuff (hovering, torque rolling, knife-edge, rolling circles etc).

So what's a good single part fuel proofer for using on Humbrol enamels and
other paint?
Tried the Flair brown stuff which never cured properly and just peeled off,
but dissolved some clear plastic fittings.

My favorite plane has a gas tank problem. The tank has a split around
the neck.
I bought a new tank from Tower Hobbies, (# GPMQ4104). It's also the
part number Great Planes has on their list.

I had acquired some old servos from an auction a few weeks ago and do not
know what system they are from.
Can anyone provide me with some more information on them? It would be nice
to be able to use them in a project I am working on.

I don't want the ARF.  I'd like to build it myself but it would be nice to
have all the parts nicely cut.
Does anyone know if anyone makes a kit for the Cloud Dancer already?

I have been wanting an R/C plane since I was 14 (am now 38) and have finally
decided that now might be the time to look at buying.
I have talked to many people locally about what to get for my first plane,
but am still undecided.  Part of my problem is local availability.  We do

I'm looking for plans for third scale (70") Ultimate bipe & source of
cowl/canopy etc. Most likely our US cousins will know of some :)

Looking for an Ultimate in the .90 to 1.20 engine size range. Does anyone
still make a kit for this plane

Looking for a serious favour,  I need a jet plane collected, wrapped and
posted  up north. This for  RC item(s) present or a small fee (to be
agreed).

Hi Group
Do anyone know where I can get hold of some plans to build the Long EZ,
designed by Bert Rutan the genius behnd Scaled Composites of California.
Preferably around 2mtr wingspan, but anything considered.

I picked up a couple of motors cheap at Cosford. They are 650mm long 35mm
dia. They are fitted with flux rings , thus making them heavy, but as I
intend them for a boat (got to have a change from aircraft building as I am
getting too many model aircraft in the store room) that ...

I have a trainer with what I believe to be a .65 size Thunder Tiger engine
up front.  The markings on the engine are 65 on the right side and GP SE on
the left, with the TT logo.  I am attempting to get this engine running but
am finding that only 1/4 turn is required on the needle ...

t On a Sig 4-star 40 kit the fire wall is marked with a thrust line. How
important is the horizontal thrust line. I want to know if I can lower
the engine about 1/2 inch.
Thanks.
