I'm taking the Commander 2 to a local national park tomorrow, and
would like to use the paved access road as an airstrip, to practice
taking off and landing from the ground. I *don't* like the idea of
asphalt wearing away the bottom of the tail boom, though, so I was

I'm using neon yellow to cover an Uproar(40) and the first large piece stuck

It seems that all of the planes I buy have a 'built-in bank' one way

I bought a Gee-Bee from Parkflyer.com.  It came with a brushless outrunner
motor (No name) designated only as "Bm 2408 - 21."   It also came with an 18

I'm currently using 8 AA alkaline batteries in my TXs, and
recharging them with an alkaline recharger. I'd *like* to switch to NiMH

batteries producing about 12 volts to those producing about 9.6. Should

I'm putting together my first warbird and gas engine combo. I have a Hangar
9 P47 60 size and a Zenoah G20.
My question involves installing the fuel tank. I have the necessary fuel
line and stopper for gasoline. The G20 has a fuel pump on the Walbro carb.

Why do they always stink of piss?

I haven't tried it as I haven't loaded Google Earth yet, but it looks
