I finally made my mind up to buy a OS120 FS for my DR1, and then discovered
the normal type of nylon engine mount are not advised for larger 4 strokes,
so I have purchased an aluminium Du-bro set.
These now require drilling and tapping.

So you like Heli's. What about a Custom made RC Heli about the size of
a Golf Cart that is powered by a Turbine Engine. Just an amazing job of
engineering and construction. Check out this guys Toy and start to
druel..

I always e-mail Chief for their monthly specials price list.  I just went to
their site to do just that and there is no longer an e-mail form to get the
specials list or any mention of monthly specials at all.  Bummer!
Anyone local to Chief Aircraft know the scoop?

Hello.  A friend at work recently gave me a model his father had stored in
his attic when he passed away.  This plane is a 3 channel, high wing, about
6' wingspan.  The fuse is stick-built and quite large and boxy.  The wing is
glider like, with mild polyhedral. An OS  .15 engine ...

I am building an L-19 Bird Dog model and was wondering what Ultracote
color is closest to the bare metal color that some of the full scale
planes came out in.  Thanks!

Hate 'em...every one that I have ever helped students with has flown
like a boxcar with or without all the bells and whistles attached. Got
two at the field today and both want to make a right turn on takeoff.
One is really bad.  Switched wings between the two and no change.  The

Sorry to ask this question again, because I know there was a thread about
this recently, but I couldn't find it.
Besides Econokote, what other brands of foam-safe low temperature iron-on
coverings are available and where can I find them online?  A buddy of mine

Just a quick query to all who own and/or built a Ready 2.
Ye curvy one bought me the Ready 2 as Christmas Pressie and I've had a
sneak preview to ensure all is there but I have a query.  
I hadn't quite banked on having to paint it but what type of paint

    I'm still a beginner on RC flying, still doing loops and stuff, taking
off by myself but not landing yet. But one of the things I really like
is building stuff..
    Soooo.. Ive been thinking about building an RC plane from some kind of

Does anyone know what size of prop would suit a 2208/34 Axi Motor in a li'l
Banchee.

Over in RCGroups, there are a whole raft of depron planes that use
flat-pate wings (as opposed to the traditional rib/spar style of
construction.)
I am looking at doing a design for a pusher and am thinking about going

I have a problem with this plane, the radio controller works fine when
checking for up/down and electric engine speed control levers but if I
walk 15-20 feet I have no conrol at the controller it is dead but if I
move back say 15 feet I gain all control again WHATS UP WITH THIS???
