I busted the original wing on my aerobird and replaced it with correct
hobbyzone replacement wing.  Now it seems like the replacement wing
won't produce enough lift to take off...the plane wants to dive into
the ground.  I put the old wing on (plus a considerable amount of tape)

If I keep the max wingspan to 3ft, is there enough
open space inside wings/tail/fuselage to be able to work,
i.e. reach batteries/fuel,controls, etc,  or should the scale be larger ?
I was thinking of the practicality of carrying this around.

Ist a while since I have been involved in this hobby. I am trying to find
out if P.A.W. are still in existance and if so where they are located.
Thanks in advance

I'm a sucker for small Cubs and I just ordered one. Has anyone had
experience with this model?
Will an OS .30 four-stroke be too much for it?

Just saw the big single page ad in the January 2005 MA. This new
transmitter has two separate processors. One for flight functions, and
the other to run MS Windows CE for the programming. I wonder how stable
this version of Windows is? Are you going to be flying and suddenly get
