I have a new OS 52 fitted into the front of my new Flair Pup and I am now
wondering if I should run it pressurised or not. I pressurise my 2 strokes
but My OS 30, Laser 50 and OS 120 all run unpressured fine.
Has anybody any best practice for this engine?

For a real-time signal monitoring and logging application, I am loking
a small, low power and light weight microcontroller board. This board
will be carried on a remotely piloted model airplane. As the airplane
flies it will collect data from various sensors and save them to a SD

I've been looking for a set of plans, or at lest dimensionalized
drawings for a particular aircraft, specifically the Grumman x-29
(plan on using a pusher prop).  It would appear that there would need
to be some modifications to make it reasonable stably, and might even

I bought a used plane with the servos removed, and I will be installing my
own servos. Do I just screw the servos screws into the old holes or do I use
something like a little glue to kind of "renew" the holes before
reinstalling. If so, what kind of glue? If CA, do I use thick, ...

I have used what I consider normal on my Venus 40.
That is:
One to the top of the tank - goes to silencer pressure
One to the bottom of the tank for filling (can also be used to drain excess

I have plenty of those nifty carbon rods at $1.25 each
Ideal for reinforcing balsa structures, Shockfliers, foamies, and for
small pushrods.
Each .060"rod weight only 3grams !

i'm looking for either an RC canard kit, or plans - prefer glow.
Can y'all provide some links where i might find either?

I have just bought a Tower Pro BMC 15N ESC and the programming
instructions are written in gibberish can any one help

i am thinking about putting together a sig kadet Senior arf. but i am not sure what
type of engine to put in it. and also i am not sure what type of reciever

For a hundred quid including the brushless motor, esc & fan it looks like a
pretty good deal.  Does anyone have any info on it?

Is there an open source PIC project out there which can do PPM signal
decoding from a RC (Radio Control) transmitter and drive 10 servo motors
with a PIC (PIC18F6680) and a CD4017 decade counter?
Appearetly some how using  a CD4017 decade counter with a microcontroller

   Does anyone know of anyone who actually makes any waterproof servos?  I
have seen a couple of useful articles showing how to waterproof your own and
have even found some references claiming that certain Hitec models are
waterproof but have seen no claims by manufacturers that ...

anyone have a sig tri-star kit they want to sell?
or perhaps the plans?
