Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / June 2005

Does anyone here know if there is a way to extract the 3D models of any
of the planes from MS flight simulator and import them in to a solid
modeling program like solidworks or other similar program?

Hi all.  I just received my first transmitter today, a Futaba 9CAP
Super.  It came with a R149DP receiver which seems kind of overkill
for my SlowStick.  (Have never flown anything yet...)  I am wondering,
 does anybody make a small receiver in 50MHz (50.82, CH01) that might

Anyone got any details? Like venue, times etc?

I cannot land it , it will always fly into the a.sholes of other men.
What can I do now?

  I am very new to the RC plane community and I am asking that you
might suggest a few good starter setups. I have been into R/C cars and
trucks for years and I am ready for the next logical step...Take to the
air young man!

I just  got my P51 in the air  and down it went....  not even going to
try to salvage it  Im gonna buy a new one tomorow....  not enough  up
elevator  on low rates....
anyone else have one of these?  alive or dead?  more success than i?

Hi chaps,
If you are building an exact scale model where prop size is limited
because of the physical layout of the real model (like eg a twin or a
plane with a short u/c) then there seems to be no alternative but to use

I damaged my Supersports 40s today, primarily because I forgot to
extend the Tx antenna before taking off...
Duh!
Well, that was almost an expensive lesson!

I have a new Airtronics Stylus transmitter and the modulation is set to
PPM. What is PPM-INV.?  There is nothing in the manual that addresses
this mode. Help????
Any help would be appreciated.

Has anyone built this kit?  How hard was it to build?  Anything unusual
in the building methods or materials to consider?  Any serious
problems?  TIA!

Had the boys checkit over and its no go and we are just guessin now.
Which gives me the excuse to put my MVVS in that revs very high in
which case im told they take ages runnin in....like 2 gallons worth!
Any truth in this?

Ive volunteered to set up a "poker fly". Never been to one. It's been
suggested to give a playing card for basic manuevers. taking off, landing,
rolls, loops etc. One card for each.
Any further suggestions?

Can anyone remind me what the sales charges are (Entrance fee and commission
rate) for the bring and buy at the Wings and Wheels show.
Cheers,
