Does anyone know if the JETI micro receiver REX 5 is OK to use with JR
crystals and transmitter ? TY.

I just got my first Bipe which has individual servos for each of the four
ailerons.  The new Sig Sundancer.
Sig recommends 70+ oz servos, so I am going with some Futuba digitals
(S9451).

I just read in a r/c mag. about a new radio in the 14 mhz band. Did I
read it wrong? Is it limited to vy short range? It might be a problem
because the 20 meter band if very popular choice for hams. Maybe it was
a typo.

I finally got my refurbished Enya 15-4 fired up the other day (just in
time to put it in Winter storage -- the temp this morning was 27).
While adjusting the needle valve, I couldn't help but notice how close
my fingers were to the prop. The point was driven home a minute later

I'm assembling the old Top Flite P-40 kit from the early 80's, number
RC-17. I'm missing the manual and some of the parts -- the parts I've
fabricated, but the manual is, obviously, gone for good. That said, I
have a couple of questions about the kit that I was hoping someone

I'm putting together a EPP foamie "Pigi" from Hobby Lobby, and being in
Arkansas, thought it'd be neat to have some Arkansas Razorback Hawg eblems
(bumper stickers) in a few places.  Ordered the decals (shipping cost more
than the decals!) and snipped off a corner piece to see if ...

I am looking for a Trainer 40 or a Trainer 60 kit by Great Planes. It
has been discontinued and I am getting back into the hobby and would
like this kit again. Please email me with info. Shortsnorter

Has anyone looked at the specs for this and determined what you would
use it for?

After leaving the RC hobby, I've decided to run workshops for rubber powered
planes.
If you or your child (over 9) would like to learn the art of building rubber
powered planes, contact me. by removing the "7"s from my email address.

As above, any tips or advice of where to buy various thicknesses/sizes
online?

Anyone tried a Jett Engineering in-cowl muffler?  I would like to try one
with an OS91 FX.  I have an app where I don't want to hack up the front of
the plane and the cowl to make a traditional muffler fit.  Their site

We are now selling our inkjet and laser decals by the sheet, they are
also available in A5 and A4 size. We are the only importer of this
typoe of decal paper in the UK. It is of superb quality and we have a
great decal of model makers using it with great success. If you have

My Magnum Pro .45 is missing a part of the carb, and I was hoping
someone could help me identify it.
On the top of the carb, on the right hand side (above the needle
valve) is a threaded hole. I have absolutely no idea what goes there.

I learned to fly mode 2 many years ago using thumbs only on the sticks which
I suspect is the technique employed by most flyers. However, I'm now
considering switching to the index finger and thumb method which requires a
Tx tray. I've tried it with a Tx strap but didn't feel ...

Is there a website that you can refer for a type of "InfoCentral" on getting
into RC planes?
Thanks in advance.
