Any idea where I can buy 10 ga multistrand silicone insulated wire ?   Tks

I have a .61 sized Cub that needs little help getting on the
ground.  I guess I spoiled myself with my Twist where I could come in
to land at about a 45 degree angle, not gain any speed, and flare out
at the end and set it down.  The Cub, with it's big flat bottomed

I bought a ParkZone Spitfire because I like Warbirds, not really because I
wanted to get into RC flying.  I realize that I would be better off learning
on a trainer, but I will keep at it, even if I have to buy 14 replacement
airframes, I don't care, I am quite handy and like fixin' ...

Does anyone have experience with the FlyCamOne http://www.flycamone.com/ 
I just bought one and while they did a decent job of translating the
manual into English, the bugger seems to be malfunctioning. I can take

Can you buy such a thing? I need to control a brushless DC motor on
the bench.

I've never seen it discussed, so there must be a reason why
you shouldn't, but I'll show my ignorance and ask....  Is
there any way you can use a car type battery charger (2/6/8
amp selectable) to power a hot wire for cutting foam?  TIA.

Does anyone have instuctions on how to bypass the charging diode on
the jr662.
I know you need to solder a small thin (36 AWG) jumper wire across th
diode, or use a 2 amp Pico Fuse instead.

I recently purchased a Parkzone Typhoon 2 3D plane kit.  The package
came with a LiPoly charger for the included battery, but it charges
through the balance port.  There are 2 ports on the charger, a 4-pin
for a 2-cell pack and a 6-pin for a 3-cell pack.

I googled every conceivable way to find one in Canada, but came up
with nothing.  Even if it's not an authorized Hobbyzone retailer,
anyone know of a Canadian based online retailer which sells Hobbyzone
products?  TIA.

The Proxxon tools forum is up and running.  The Files currently contain
factory manuals with parts diagrams for the PD400 and PD230 lathes, the
FF230/PF230 mill, and other tools.  In the Photos file are detailed images
of the lathes and other miscellaneous.  More info on the way.

I have been practicing with a computer RC flight simulator, but still can't
seem to get the hang of rolling the correct direction when the plane is
coming at me. I just cant think backwards.  What is your method?  I was
thinking of trying the "look over the shoulder" method.

Is Pacer Z42 compatible with plastics? If not what type to use?  Tks

I have an Ultra Stick Lite with a Saito 180. I'm looking for the support you
can install from the horizontal tail surface to the vertical tail surface.
Particularly, I'm looking for the solid wire type, not cable. Where do you
get this from?

I 'm trying to get hold of a copy of Radio Control Model World dated May
2006.  There is an article in that issue explaining how to cover a moderl
aircraft with epoxy resin and glass cloth.  I am quite prepared to pay any
costs that might be incurred.  A copy of the article would ...
