Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / August 2005

Can't help thinking somethings up - well we always think that on a good
day eh ? But the up I'm about to address is this new found sunny
weather you have north of the equator, as recent posts refer to.
Perhaps that's the reason you go mad for half a day playing Test

I just scratch-built a plane from the remainders of a crashed
Parkflyers.com Cessna 182 and some foam board. I don't have the
original prop, because it was destroyed in the crash, so I got a Master
Airscrew 7 x 3 prop and stuck it on there. The result: the plane

O.K. Gang:
Needed a 91 F/S for the Top Flite Sea Fury. Wound up with a brand new Saito
and a O.S. 91 (neither are a pumper)  I got both on E-Bay, I only meant to
bid on the OS but goofed so now I have two. So which one is preferred ?

Anybody order RCM plans lately?  I've had my eye on the Golden Oldie
biplane for years but never ordered the plans.  I see that they're
running a "4 for the price of 3" sale until August 31.  I'm sure I could
find a few others to fill out the order.  The Miss Texas has always

Just trying to finish up this new plane.  Some of my servos (more like all
of them) seem to have too much load on them.  They tend to all make that
chattering noise at one extreme or the other (or in some cases both).  I've
tried a variety of things to make it easier so they wont ...

How do you solder the bananna plug tips onto accessory wires? These things

My daughter is asking for an airplane kit for her 9th birthday that she
can build. She wants something that she can glue together. I think

Hi all - just finishing this model and trying to balance it. With everything
set as per the plans the CofG is way behind where it should be. With a
2000mAh subC receiver pack shoved right into the nose the CofG is still
about a half inch behind the recommended spot, so some lead is ...

Are there any built up (balsa) HLG kits available in the UK ?
There seem to be quite a few available in the US, but not in the UK.
I have scratch built a Aspen Leaf, but would prefer a pre-fabricated kit
for my next model.

We've bought two of these models and we are very pleased with them.  We do
seem to be ok with them now and we would like to add something else as well.
A bit more power to allow us to fly in a heavier wind and the ability to do
more than fly around in circles and do stall turns.

Hi,Ho
I first want to apologize for taking so long to reply.  First dogs and
young'ins (enough to drive ya nuts) Second I am not all that familair
