Just got done reading the campaign statements on the AMA website.  How
about an unknown from El Paso?

I'm looking for a 4-stroke with a similar power to my SC46A 2-stroke
and I'm confused.  J Perkins quotes the power output of the SC46A at
(kW) - 1.18/16,500.  (BTW I don't know what the 16,500 means.  It
can't be rpm as the engine only goes up to 12,800 rpm).

I crashed my Harbor Freight Cub and the nose is crunched. Is there a
way to soften the styrofoam? Heat?

I was wondering what you guys use to repair an uncovered foam wing ? I got a
wild hair to finish building an old control line combat plane . The wing has
gotten alittle damaged over the years on the thin trailing edge .
I work in montezuma Iowa  where the Sig mfg. plant is located ...

With these little buggers going for ridiculous prices,
it seems that someone would manufacture a small run of them....
(I wish they would.  I have a couple of .25s that could use stock mufflers)
See eBay item #330028802572, current bid at $46.00!!

If there is anyone out there that owns an Airtronics RD8000, would you
kindly let me know where the serial number
is. I am trying to fill out the warranty card and it asks for the SN #, but
I cannot find it. Has anyone else found this problem?

Anybody have a used copy of RealFlight, either G2 or G3, that they'd like to
part with at a reasonable price?
Thanks,
Chris

Goedendag ;-)

A buddy just gave me a couple of 6V NiMH receiver flight packs.
Is there an inexpensive wall type charger available for these packs or do I
need something like an Accu-Cycle for them?

Hello again.  Sorry to labour this point (and I know this has been
asked before), but I would like your final advice before ordering a
new engine for my Flair Puppeteer.
I have 2 options.  The first is an O.S 52 Surpass fourstroke.  From

I've got some spare electronic speed controlers for brushless motors (10, 20
and 30A). They are brand new. Prices are 12 pounds for 10A, 16 for 20A and
24 for 30A. Anyone interested in? I live in Coventry and can send them
anywhere in UK, Paypal pref. Regards / Mike

The model is an Fascination-50 pattern ship. for those who do not know it.
It is vertually a clone of the Venus 40.
I built it for practising the sportsman and standard schedules. Now my Venus
40 whichis fitted with an ASP65 FS seems to be best on a master Prop sized

Back at base I leave  both switched on for about 60 minutes to drain a
little, then using a simple  2 pin Hitec  Tx-Rx charger , charge for not
less than 12 hours. The 230v charger gets quite warm in the process as you
might expect, but I then have sufficient charge for a further ...
