Does anyone know of a flying site near Bolivar in Tennessee?  I fly mainly E
powered.
I will be about 10 miles south of Bolivar and the nearest club I can find is
in Jackson.

I have scratch built a 1/10th scale PSS Me109 from white foam and
brown paper (some ply and balsa as well). Elevator and Aileron only.
It flys OK in a steady wind but seems a bit skittish in anything
variable. It seems to stall quite easily in even in gently turns. I

A pair of ducted fans can steer.
Is there a single component that allows you to control the balance for
turns and their speed?
Do you you use 2 channels of your transmitter/receiver?

I remember seeing a custom metal tank for Cox Tee Dee engines a few
years back, but I can't find anything on the web now.  I'm interested in
a tank for the Tee Dee 020.  Does anybody know where to find one?

Interesting discovery today was how to make thin strong laminated
material for panels very cheaply, when you are around car boot sales or
junk markets keep an eye open for an old hand operated clothes wringer

working like twin rudders or are they opposed? cant quite envisage how
they work and are controlled, may need to use one on a 5 foot span model

Before I invest in my f1rst radio system, I would appreciate
some input.  I am a beginner, and, at 62, don't see myself
going beyond sport flying.  My plan is to start with slow,
park fliers.  Perhaps later I might move up in size and

I have been flying the cougar 2000 for some time and really enjoy it. I have
a very small car (Ford Ka) and cannot get even a shock in the boot. I'd like
some suggestions on an electric fun fly plane with about a 1m wingspan that
has removable wings so that I can keep it in the ...

Back in November I asked, in this NG, what the ideal electric heli

Well, I have bought it (sod it, Summer is on the way so double glazing

I found a batch of Nicad batteries that are over 10  years old that
