check this out...I just received it from a local who sent it to

    Forgot to mention this in my first post.  What size props for this

I guess they are not THE hot item anymore.
   I had $600 in my pocket and only spent $9 on hardware.  I was tempted
though.

I came across this elsewhere. I reckon it's funny enough to share for
those who may not have seen it before. If they can do this on Fosters

After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a

Yeah, I forgot I wasn't supposed to buy anything largish and turned around
and fell for this one.
I have a Brillelli 46cc IE engine on the way. Any thoughts? Besides the fact
that I'm nuts. I already know that. <G>

OK, this is something that to best of my knowledge, does not yet exist.
How about a cordless, connector-less servo for our airplanes?

phones and all those things that do not need connectors or cords. I

I am looking for a copy of a plan for the Airsail kit for the RAF Chipmunk
(1750mm Wingspan), I have bought the model semi complete that was being

 I am looking to buy my first RC Plane soon and would like some help
selecting between the following four models.  Mainly, I want something
that is easy to fly, hard to crash, and durable when it does crash.  A

you direct me to a web-site where I can find them?
The only one I remember is 26.995 (brown). That was my frequency in 1970.
Thanks for your help.

I guess I'm subscribed to this news group for about 6 months now (maybe
less), and I've heard a lot of comments about it not being "what it used to
be", not being as busy, etc.

Good Evening.  All the planes I have flown since I restarted a couple
years ago have been ARFs, but now I have decided to see how finishing a
partially built plane would work out for me.  I bought one at a swap
meet a couple months ago.  The fuselage is partially built, though I

Hello All...Anyone know where I might find an Ohio RC kit for the AT6
Texan???  I know they are out of business but I'd sure love to build
that giant scale model.  Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

My local LHS in bay area is giving a no tax sale this weekend. I'm
planning to make some big purchases. Since I have little time to do my
research, pls throw in your choices if you have experience with Mini
Funtana 3D EP ARF from E-flite and a lipo charger.
