My mother gave my son a little RC plane from WalMart (it looked kind of

Can someone tell me where a person can get kevlar tissue?

I have long since left the hobby but had one plane left that I didn't sale.

midway thru I switched to some "leftovers" for a compound curve. The
leftover was marked "Oracover" on the back side. The Oracover followed the
compound curve much better than the Monokote and I would like to ...

Do you fly from a dairy pasture, is the outfield "rough".
Even experts occasionally have to retrieve from a  deadstick landing.
Keep your extremeties comfy, warm, clean  and dry, it all adds up to faster

Hi All, I need some advice. I have a Goldberg Sukhoi that I would like to
unload. I have thought about selling it on ebay but I am unsure about how to
ship the thing if I sold it. How do you all pack an airplane this big? It

as my heli is on the left. Do I have a transmitter that was built wrong or
