Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / January 2005

I am almost through putting together a SeaGull models Edge 540 and have a
Saito 1.20 4 stroker that I want to put on it.  Was wondering if anybody
else had tried this combination and what kind of results you got?  Not sure
but just looking at it i think it might be nose heavy...

My brother saw some Digital Concept 2000 mah Nimh batteries at Odd Lotts.
They are 5.99 for 4 AA.  Would it be silly to use these to make receiver or
transmitter packs?  Or should we just go buy some good name brand battery
packs?  Anyone tried this or have any experience with these ...

Does anyone know of any really good online suppliers of radio goods and
aircraft kits within the EU but outside the UK???

I'm planning on getting an R/C airplane to experiment with sensors and
video cameras, etc.. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a .60 size
airplane with great payload handling capabilities, and what a realistic
upper limit on payload capacity might be (1lb? 5lbs? 10lbs?). I don't

Lets see if I have this right..
A plane has +3 incidence. That means the horizontal stab is level and
the main wing is cocked up by 3 degrees at its leading edge when
compared to the horizontal stab and the centre line of the fuselage ?

I've been trying to figure out the way to make extra money in the
internet, checking news groups and ads.  It's not easy but I try to
keep an open mind to opportunities.  In these websites you would find
messages like the one described further below.  The message got me

I use the three prong deans connectors to do all sorts of things.  I am
getting tired of paying through the nose for them.  Anyone have a way to get
them cheaper?
Once I looked into bulk purchase, but I have forgotten why I didn't do it.

If so then I'm trying to find out the flying weight of the "Oini" that
was the free plan and build article.  Also if that kind person felt up
to scanning the build article for me that'd be an amazingly great favour
as well (I already have a copy of the plan so don't need that).

What do we reckon to these engines... ?

I am building a unit that requires a few small radiators (3" squ - 10cm2).
Could anyone advise me where I could buy these from.  Trade names etc?

Anyone flying one of these SPAD RC's?  I found the SPAD Website and was
wondering if any SPAD flyers were on this newsgroup and how the planes
fly compared to balsa kits.  I may attempt one...
Thanks,

Just had a longer look at the model santa got me for xmas.  Fuz is
reasonably well made, wings and tail are nice balsa covered things. Cowl is
to suit vertical engine (gotta be a new Laser then, ho hum ;')).  There are
hardwood blocks for the u/c legs but optional retract ...

I know Lasers are the doggs doodahs, and I would not regret buying a laser V
twin...but are there any other good, reliable twin engines out there that
are cheaper than a laser? Or better? Though I doubt that.
Any experiences anyone?

I am trying to find out if if it is safe/legal? to use my UK 35Mhz equipment
in the Philippines. The only info I have received so far is 'use anything
that nobody else is using', probably true but not very safe. The only club
with a web site is the Manila Aeromodelers Club, but ...
