An army of small rc-killer-helicopters programmed to hunt
the enemy could finally destroy them for good.
They should be equipped with small anti-person rockets
and guns. They should also be explosive. If the enemy

My retired neighbor, Maxse Tayler, has gotten me back into model
aircraft again after a 30 year absence,...not sure if that's a good or
bad thing. ;-)
Don't mean to complain, but Maxse (MAAC##21471), ordered a Brison

is it possible to get a 27mhz TX to work with a 72mhz RX (both are FM)
with a simple crystal swap in one of the units?  both are FM and the
RX supports both +/- shift.
for some reason i'm thinking it's not that simple, but want to be

Here is a link to my beginner RC flying  webpage that has some
pictures of my proposed flying area.  Let me know what you think.

 I'm hoping it will work for the Super Cub.

I need to glue some cracks on my ParkZone foam aircraft.  I have a

Sorry to be a pest with all the questions, but my inquiring mind just
has to know the purpose of the three large holes in the bottom
fuselage just behind the wing?
  The center one is great for hanging it on the wall, but can I tape

Does anyone have any experience with the Tower Pro servo being sold on the
great auction site (EBay)?  The one I am looking at is the heavy duty metal
gear one, and they also have some micro size ones.  The price looks tempting
but are they any good?

I've just aquired a Futaba T7CP and am puzzled by some of the mix features
(despite reading the manual, honest).
I can't see how to assign a mix such as aileron - rudder to a switch so that
the mix is not constant. Any tips would be welcome.

I got the ParkZone Spitfire put together.  All went well except I
didn't get the aileron wire plugged in right the first time, and had
to take it back apart to correct it.  I cycled the controls for 5
minutes, and had to adjust the ailerons and center trim after this

I have been posting some questions recently and appreciate the advice.
I saw the ParkZone Spitfire RTF complete set for sale for under $200,
with an extra battery even!  I decided to do an experiment, just to
see if it is possible.  

Here is the link to my model of a  Luke AFB based Arizona ANG P-51, I
think from the early 50s.

Jen,
 You mentioned that you have flown the ParkZone FW190.  How is the
roll rate and stability?  I am practicing on a sim, and some of the
models are more squirrelly than others, and I'd like to train on
