22..... the wires on my other bats, 7 cell, 600 mah are 16 gauge..
So, am thinking I'll have to put new wires on because the draw ...

I need a battery cycler/charger for the batts in my transmitter (futaba
6chan) and receiver batts. Would also like it to charge
the rechargable12volt that powers my power starter? I'm not sure if its
lead/acid or one of those gel cells? Here is link

The .61 engine I purchased has a remote needle valve, but the engine
does not fit into the plane with the remote valve attached. Can I just
attach the remote needle valve somewhere else in the engine
compartment? Is there a maximum length for the fuel tube between the

I have just bought the Alpha Trainer from Hangar9. My question is can I use
the transmitter on an eletric park flyer. I am looking at an EP that I can
put in the servos and controll it with the same transmitter. Is it possible

charging requirements for both the airplane and flight box.   Put on the
Airplane's skiis and packed the car.   Confirmed with my flying partner that he

I was wondering if futaba made any FP-R107N receivers that were narrow band.
If not is it possible to modify it so that it is narrow band. If this was
already done do they have the same sort of golden sticker as older radios
that were retuned?

I am looking to get a small electric park flier (like a slow stick -
6-8 cell, 400-1200mah ish batteries), and am wondering what to do
