Hello all. Is it easy (diy) to change a Futaba 6 from mode 1 to mode 2 ?
Any pointers to websites or tutorials would be most welcome.

As far as I know, we don't see many of the RCV SP model engines here in the
US. They are sold at various hobby shops here, but I don't think there are
many in use in my area. They look interesting (and somewhat expensive), but

I'm just starting to get interested in RC models, and I was wondering
what is the cheapest trainer with the best flying capabilities

I'm at work and I'm trying to place an order with Tower and forgot to

Thanks,

The plane has a 62 inch built up wing and the tail feathers look like
sheeted structure.  The wing fits very well.  The cowl is ...

After such an overwhelming response to my Flight sim question, I thought I
would ask another.
Most of the flight sims on the market do not come with a USB type TX. This
is a problem for me as none of my transmitters have a trainer port to plug

Got one of these last month. All laser cut. Beautiful kit and even has
plenty of extra wood. Less than 40 bucks from

blast to fly. I put a .52 4 stroke on it and it's more than enough. A

I am looking at purchasing an RC Flight Sim (figure it's cheaper option to
get the basics down).
In everyone's expert opinion, which is the best RC Flight Sim and why?
If I am going to part with some hard earned coin, want to be informed.

I'm quite tempted by one of these purely from watching this video;
