I'm confused about aileron differential.  I always thought that the aileron
should go up more than down.  One of the guys at the club said it was the
other way around.  That it should go more down than up.  Who's right????
Help!

I have ran rc cars/trucks for years now . Not saying I am any good at it,
just backyard bashing . But I would like to get my first RC plane . What
would you guys recommend ? ANd would you say electric or start out with
nitro ? Being a beginner and teaching myself I would like ...

Anybody out there that might have any 4 channel or more 27 Mhz AM
receivers such as Futaba, Airtronics or even JR?  They don't make them
any more... so if you have one in your junk box, and will let it go..
please contact me....Thanks

I'm restoring an old airframe-I managed to get most of the old
Solarfilm off without too many problems, but I found that the airframe
had been painted underneath and THAT I'm having problems with....Tried
sanding-got through lots of paper with not much paint removed. Tried

Model Air Show at St. Leonards, Hastings this Sat. and Sun. Good day out,
weather permitting of course.

Bought a Bell 47 Twister from Addlestone £119.99, got it hovering inside and
out then got cocky and clipped a few rotors (better than buliding for 6
months and £2000 later to find you cannot fly r/c's or get bored easily).
Bought another a day or two later so can use the first one ...

I am assembling an ARF that has 2 separate elevator halves each with its own
servo.  The 2 choices I see are a Y cable and drive each servo off the same
channel or, if the radio offers the option,  of driving each servo off a
separate channel.

I have, at last count, something like 23 Super Tigre engines (all but two or
three made in Italy).  With a few, mostly four-stroke-powered exceptions, my
air force is primarily ST powered.  I take pride in my engine tuning ability
and all my two-stroke engines will most always ...

I have a wonderful flying Goldberg Chipmonk that is driving me nuts.  The
main gear is just a little too far back and it is difficult to keep it from
nosing over.  Keeping full up elevator while taxiing is helpful but not good
enough to suit me. This arrangement is the standard ...

I picked up the tip about using clear packing tape to make decals from
lazer color prints and passed the info on to the antique radio
restorers.
A question quickly arose. Will the tape turn yellow and/or degrade over

all pictures and text indicate a crash kit.  Rang up to say mine was
missing, 'we don't do one we mean the training landing kit.'  went to leave
negative feedback and 'you need to be a member for more than five days'.
This just sucks!

A few questions for a new RC Electric flyer:
I have a Leisure Electronics 107 charger from a previous RC car 1988
ish.
Looks like this one

Good Evening.  I am attempting to complete a model, and I am almost at
the point of gluing the control surfaces to the tailfin, stabilizer, and
wing with thin CA glue.  (I will be using CA hinges for all of these
joints).  I opened a bottle of what was claimed to be thin CA glue, ...

Being sooooo partial to my beloved little jets (and just having smashed
one of them to pieces and not enough savings for a replacement lipo) I
thought about building another one and putting an old 15-year-old glow
engine on it - but in front. I didn't find much on that topic on ...

I am looking for a carburetor for an ENYA Model 6001 engine. It is a
45.  If anyone has a spare, please let me know.
Thanks,
