Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / October 2004

I am looking for a small wireless camera with audio for my model airplane.
The only real small ones I can find on ebay do not have audio.  Can anyone
reccommend anything?  Any websites explaining how to set them up?

control aircraft?
Have been looking but am a newbie to this, and having trouble.
Thanks a bunch

Any one here have any experience with flying/building a model ornithopter?

I have a Saito 91 and I can't keep a muffler on it. I have screwed the
muffler on with teflon tape and lastly with locktight 262 - the red stuff
which is supposed to hold anything. Still the muffler works loose and I am
at my wits end to know what to do next.
