I just realized that my teedee 051 was ran about 10 years ago and put away,
uncleaned. Today it's seized. There is no sign of rust or damage. I'm
guessing some carb cleaner to start with, maybe some penetrating oil, and
see if it frees up? Any practical advice before I tear into ...

My friend recently bought a mechanical on off timer for the purpose of
keeping his transmitter, receiver and ignition batteries, all NimH,
charged and ready during the cold season when he doesn't plan any
flying.

Me again. Sorry for being so dense... I've got a tiny problem. Friend
wants a nice big foamie jet, but she prefers EDF instead of my usual
pusher prop setup.
Now, the default layout has air ducts in there anyway, but they're only

A slightly different question today. Who makes engines today, who sells
engines *today*? 1/2a, bigger? Who are the manufacturers still in this

I'm going to fit Deans connectors to some LIPO batteries.
Obviously the female Deans socket goes on the battery but which way on
the two bars of the "T" do the + and - usually go?

Can someone tell me how to figure where the wing should be mounted in
relation to the length of the fuselage on a model airplane. I recently
purchased a duraplane on e-bay. When I received it looked as though the

I was wondering if anybody has ordered recently from sigmfg.com, and if
so, what were your experiences like?  I haven't ordered from them yet, but
I have a fairly large order and have never ordered directly from Sig.  And
with Glen and Hazel being dead and all and no longer running ...

Hi all . . .
Looking for the heirs or assigns of the late Jim Archer, of Norwich

conversion in mind

Ok, I've been reading up on building in preparation for building my first
kit after 47 years. I don't believe I know exactly what a doubler is
although from long-ago experience I seem to remember that it is two pieces
of two pieces of timber, spar, 2x4, etc. glued together to ...

I need help, I'm looking to buy a new engine for a Pt-60 trainer by
great planes (requires a 60 engine). My options are a O.S. for about
CDN$190.00 (http://www.gpmd.com/cgi-bin/wgpinf100p?&I=OSMG0561) or a
super tiger for about CDN$100.00

I have a wing that was built in 1995, and I want to finish it into a flying
c/l plane. It was never finished, but is complete and ready for fuselage and
silkspan. It is for c/l, has belcrank with leadouts in place. It is 26"
long, 5 3/8" deep and 3/4" high at the peak. Long and ...
