the small 12V 7Ah sealed lead acid batteries to charge my lipos with
(via a lipo charger) - but I only get about 3 charges before the 12V

Some things seem to be too good to be true.  I didn't think this
E-Bay listing was worth how much it sold for.  I have the plans
for it, it's a slab sided constant chord wing and stab plane,

I keep thinking I'll get back into the sport but work, kids, life, more
work, & more work keep getting in the way.  My equipment has been gathering

The 46 i spoke about a week or so ago did not run so i mentioned the
front bearing and got asked "why the front bearing" Well at wings i
asked Paul landels about it (fuel chucking out the carb) and low n
behold he said try the front bearing which i did today and it runs

I recently bought one of these and have it ready to fly. I read the on line
review by Jerry Festa. He suggest a 16 x 8 prop on the OS 91 Surpass II.
This is the engine I'm using. This prop is a little above the range
suggested by the engine manufacturer. Also, he said his came out ...

i am new to radio model flying and wish to connect a rf transmitter to  a
computer using a flight simulator.can any body tell me the make/model of the
transmitters available as i have got information which says they can/can not
be used.

Maybe someone here could help me:
I want to know what the bitstream looks like between the RF stage and the
decoder in a JR receiver. I wish to try and build a decoder that would
eventually use normal ol' standard cheap servos but give me the security of

Traffic seems to be extremely low on this newsgroup. Is it just my provider,

My new Kool Kanary bipe will have 1 servo for each of the ailerons.
I am using a Futaba RD138 (PCM) receiver and Hitec HS-5475HB digital servos.
As I am setting up my Futaba 8UAF for flaperons, I need to put 2 servos on
each of channels 1 and 6.  When I attempt to use a "Y" harness, ...
