I can't get enough exhaust pressure to pressurise the fuel tank when
using a cline regulator on a Saito 180. Has anyone else had the same
problem?
I have change the one-way valve and made sure it is installed correctly

I need something to put a .30 4stroke on. Anybody got anything for sale?

I am looking for purpose-built diesel engines in the .40 to .70 size
range.  I am trying to avoid conversions, and would prefer to avoid
PAW's (don't like their silencer arrangement or prop attachment
arrangement).

...and it ends with a crash :(  The plane (Hacker Zoom Zoom 4d) normally has
a flying weight of 12 oz.  With the camera, transmitter & nicad to power the
rig, it was 20 oz making it drop like a brick off the throttle.  Also my
CofG was a tad too far forwward.  I can normally land ...

Apologies for the quality (shot on a camera phone) but you get the

Is there a chart or web-site  or any way to match EP components to a plane?
What sizes are needed to put an EP plane in the air?

Yes it is available everywhere.  However rather than just paying for
spray cans has anyone come up with bulk item in pints or quarts that
can be thinned and used in an airbrush.  Is there a substitute
for spray krylon that one can use in his own spray equipment.   I am

I'm about ready to try trying to operate a CP2 a little bit for the first
time, beginning with trying not to wreck it in a one foot square on the
ground. Before making an attempt there are some questions I hope
people can help me with.

One battery pack is connected straight to receiver's battery slot. I
thinking if it possible to connect second battery to the receiver (and
how to do it).
thanks,

I'm building a Tower Hobbies 'Kaos' and I'm not satisfied with the way the
rudder and elevator are fastened to the fuselage. The two pieces are
interlocked together but the assembly just sits (glued) on the top, rear
surface of the fuselage with no bracing.

I just bought the cheapest indoor helicopter I could find:
HX RADIO CONTROLLED HELICOPTER [HX-242ez]
and I can't do anything with it. It always spins around
it seems. If I push the stick to the right it will stop

I have an idea. I am presently using 3 battery packs of 3S, Li Polies.
Each was used separately to fly  small planes (about 20 oz.) for about
25 - 30 minutes.
The idea is to connect the 3 packs in parallel to make a pack that
