Has anybody out there had experience with a ElectroFlying Models "eSKA"
sport aerobatic park flyer? The kit is laser cut with a 31" wing span. They
recommend a Astro .010 geared motor with a 3 cell LiPoly. I would like some
feedback from current flyers, Thanks!

I am taking a business trip to the Charlotte NC area next week, and
was wondering if there are any good RC Flying Fields in the area?
Specifically I am looking for fields in the Lincolnton, NC area.  I
like to try and visit local flying fields after work when I am on

Is there anybody out there with experience of aerial photography who could
help me get started with details of aircraft type and equipment needed. My
main interest is in video, with possibly a wireless cctv setup at a
reasonable cost. Would be grateful for any info.

I have an OS .61 SF engine I want to put in a project I'm building. Is
this engine a ball bearing engine or a bushing? I think it's BB but not
sure...
Tnx,

it figures   now that I am ready to try my hand at a giant Corsair  TF  stopped
producing it..   I been flying the P-51  for awhile now  and have been thinking
about the Corsair..  anyone have a kit they want to sell  or know of where I
can find one?  

I crashed my Great Planes PT-60 two weeks ago, causing minor-to-moderate
damage to the wings and fuselage.
I'm well on the way to having it repaired but have a question.
I posted a photo in alt.binaries.radio-control that shows some additional

I have a wild card and a large version of the Limbo. Both have "see
thru" covering and it makes em hard to keep ya eye on at times so i want
to do a little number on them as in spray ..yep spray some kind of paint
on them rather than put loads of stickers (or recover aaahhhhHH!)

I apologise for this post being not quite on topic, but since I know some of
the bigger scale planes run on petrol, and I assume use plastic fuel tanks,
I'm wondering if anyone here can help me.
I need to seal up a pinhole in the tank that's a manufacturing defect. First

Hi Guys...
I've just finished putting together a Seagull Boomerang trainer plane and am
seeking a little advice regarding balancing it.  
The manual states that the C-of-G is 8.5cm back from the front of the wings

Should I balance my new Spitfire right way up or upside down?
Thanks,
Stuart

Except for tug-o-war on the electric cables what other elegant method is
there to separate the male and female plugs? I've tried shouting "Honey, I'm
home!" but it didn't work.
TIA

Anyone know where I can buy a high (40-60 watt) Electric Iron and hammerhead

35amp Jeti ESC Webra Nano 6 RX
Fair perfomance for around 4 mins then bec cuts in. Land, Nice hot Battery,

I am sure somebody has converted one of these over to a brushless set
up.  How about a little 411 and let me in on what motors and speed
controls you are using and how you mounted the motor.
