Go my first plane today a Parkzone Stryker, going to fly it tomorrow weather
permitting.  Anyone here have one?  Just wondering if there is anything I
should look out for?  So far it is still stock.

I'm a newbie. I just got my wings two months ago, using a Nexstar, and
have graduated to my second plane (A "Somethin' Extra" with plenty of
expo and rates set to 1/4 of factory recommended so it behaves like a
pussycat. I recommend it).

Anyone have one of these laying around that their never going to use,
need a second one to fly with my grand daughter. Email me a

I'm after a couple of QRP Reverse timed speed 400 motors.

HarborFreight).  I bought the thing yesterday on an impulse and today I
see many of you saying this is a terrible plane for a newbie.  I would
like to spend the absolute least amount possible for a decent plane

Anyone know where I could buy a ducted fan RC plane - BAE Hawk etc -
in the UK using an IC ducted fan unit not electric for a reasonable
price? Or is anyone selling one?

I can fly a trainer (Seagull Arising Star) with confidence and now want to
move to a low-wing model.  Is the Great Planes Super Sportster 40 MkII ARF
too ambitious?  Any other advice / info on this model worth knowing?
Thanks!

There I was snug in the shed, door closed against the wind.
The scroll saw was `thrumming' away and I was making good progress
cutting out the ribs for the wing of the Super 60 that is going to be
a building project during the coming dark nights.

If anyone is looking for some JR 6 meter receivers, I have a number of
them listed on eBay.  Bidding ends tonight (9/180
