I have a Midwest Cardinal Squire that has suffered a broken wing in
shipping.
It is a foam wing, and although it didnt break completely in half

how it flies...  Thanks

Where could one source some Mitsubishi M51660L servo controller chips from?
TIA

I am looking for a good site to purchase lightweight bi-directional
speed controllers for a blimp.  I have a GWS R-4P receiver, so I would

Thanks!

Thanks

in good. I broke the wing spar on my Top Flite p-51 on a stalled landing.
The engine was not damaged at all, as the wing took all the hit. I also have
the in cowl muffler that is used on the P-51. I do not ...

I have aquired one of these monsters. I have no paperwork or info. Would
someone with operating experience on this engine please fill in all the blanks
for me.

i was just wondering if anyone out there has the plans for the great
planes super sportster 40....i was building it a  few years ago then
moved and lost the plans...i have the plans for the wings and rudder
and elevator  and those parts are built but i need the plans for the

I see that there is a plan for this aircraft, drawn up by David Vaughan and
spanning 93". Anyone got any experience of the model and its flying
qualities, especially its low-speed handling. Also, does it really fly on a
.60, or just stagger about?

How do I establish the balance point on a constant chord swept back wing
airplane?
   Such as  a Tiger moth?
