For the person who posted the article on Dope and its cutting agent.  I
am posting a site that will provide you with information on floor
shine.  A safe method for small rubber band projects and you will not
get kicked out of the house because of the fumes.

I was talking about my Nosen Trainer in another thread, and it got me to
thinking again about building a plane with 3 or 4 engines.  I had a
Telemaster a few years back with a Saito 65, which could be removed and
replaced with an OS 20 FP.  I built two engine nacelles that went on ...

Here's a transcription of that chart I mentioned, detailing the
compatibility of common finishing products for model airplanes.  The
chart tells you whether a product can be applied over or under all of
the other products on the list.  

Servos are spec'd to run between 4.8V and 6V, but battery packs are
often putting out 7.2V or more.  Can the servos safely be powered at
more than 6V?  How high can voltage typically be before running into
problems?

We are having a lively discussion within  our FC , trying to decide  what a
realistic strip rental should be.
We have free access to a Dairy meadow in the N of England, no hut or runway
and a do it yourself mowing rota.

I'm considering a Rascal 110. Any comments,opinions? If I go with a gas
engine, what do you recommend?

What size servos should I use for a 90", high wing, 25cc  gas/petrol
trainer/camera plane?

This isolator system provides positive throttle servo control to the servo

It provides a single switch harness for the ignition system and throttle
servo.  A fiber optic connection between your radio ...

I guess i should start here, amongst the seasoned pros and novices
alike, in my quest for a club/instructor in my local area.
I have a Seagull 'Boomerang' 4ch sports trainer fitted with an SC.40
engine and APC 11x6 prop and want to learn to fly this before the New

and hav found a staerdy drop since 1999.  In october, 99 there were 10301 posts,

I had an idea for engine break-in and thought I would ask if it might work.
The idea is to mount a new engine on a device that is capable of turning the
engine at normal speeds and drip the appropriate lubricant (at required
intervals) into the glow plug hole. After a determined ...

I am taking part in a university group project to design a stealth UAV.
we have selected the Jetcat P-180 engine to use, but we still need to
find some important parameters. All we can seem to find is the fuel
consumption and thrust.

I'm looking for R/C modelling shops (for aircraft, mainly) in the following
cities :
Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, Aberdeen, Edinborough, Glasgow
Anybody has some idea? Thanks...

Hi, all:
I hope this is appropriate to ask this question here. I have RealFlight
G3.5 currently running on top of a  AMD Athlon™ 64 3300 CPU with 1GB
of ram, and the video card is a AGP version of ATI Radeon® 9250 with

I would like to buy a plane for my finance as a xmas gift but have no
idea what to look for.  He used to build them and fly them around when
he was younger (pre-teen) but he told me that they were the basic
