I would like to fly my OS 91 powered float plane on a lake which is
surrounded by summer cottages , which I have done and it seems to be okay
with the cottage owners but its obvious that engine noise is a problem ,
especially first thing in the morning when the lake is like a ...

I bought a couple of strips each of 1/8" x 3/8" obechi and bass wood today to
use as servo bearer reinforcements having got tired of slicing up 1/8" plywood
into strips.   I didn't buy spruce because it has a tendency to split when you
put screws into it.

I am preparing to construct an air boat to use on water/snow/etc. I
have twin 550 Titan motors and an EVX esc from an E-Maxx truck and will
use 2 6-cell nicd batteries. I plan to use both motors on the boat as a
pusher model with above water rudders. The length of the boat will be

supposed to be Futaba compatible.
But would you trust your model to it?

I understand that there may be receiver/transmitter pairs available
which would allow a user to send custom command information to the
receiver. Conceivably a small microprocessor onboard the aircraft would
be able to decipher these commands and carry out special functions

Any idea of a decent spray paint that is glow-proof from say..Walmart?
I just spent a miserable evening stripping and sanding a Stinger .10
because the Krylon paint softened from one day of flying.

Hi all, recently bought one of these chargers-I was looking for a
foolproof charger for my nimh's and nicads (and maybe eventually,
LiPo's)-I was assured that this was a virtual 'plug it in and forget
it' type of charger. As a complete novice to batteries and charging, it

Does anyone have an idea where I can find the plans for a FF that was
produced by Veco products in the late 60's. It was called a Dakota. I
built one back then and it was a great FF model. It was so good that I
lost it to a thermal which it wasn't supposed to do. I thought that I

Good Evening.  I am starting to build a kit plane I purchased recently.  
It is a high-wing sport model, which includes wire wheel struts for the
main landing gear.  This type of landing gear has been wobbly on some of
my earlier planes, resulting in poor ground handling.  I am ...

I have checked the archive on Primer paints and most are quite old.   I
am looking for information on automotive primers that would be suitable
for spray painting balsa models and would be compatable with dope
paints.  I have used the spray cans from the hobby shop.  I would

Have had R/C flying in the back of my brain for a few decades.  Saw my
first R/C show today and now R/C is in the front of my brain.  I kind
of like quiet.  Meaning sailplanes are what catch my interest.  I think
the club that operates in the area requires folks to work with an

Does any one know or a source (other than Horizon) of JR transmitter
schematics? I need to do some fine tuning and a schematic would help. And
yes I hold a FCC First Class Radio Operators License plus have the equipment
to do it.
