Does anyone out there have a set of plans for the Lou Aandrews (AAMCO)
Mini-Master kit?  I need to obtain a copy of the plans and
instructions....or even a kit if possible...
Thanks,

I was a little surprised when I worked this out, but it has

U.S. Navy 'Top Gun' pilot, Commander Ralph Kolstad, started
questioning the official account of 9/11 within days of the event. It

I'm looking for a single transmitter that will control all of my two
channel (thrust vector steering) planes, plus any three or four channel
planes I acquire in the near future. Most are on the 27mhz channels, but
two are on 49mhz, IIRC. Is there a reasonably priced three or four ...

I hope to get my Hobbyzone Commander 2 in the air this week, if the
blasted replacement fuselage ever arrives. Anyway, I've been told that
this relatively long, thin foam wing will sometimes snap in half from

Well, I destroyed my Superhots, so now I have a virgin Venture 60 kit,

I've read extensively through the various build threads and posts in
RCU regarding this plane, so I'm aware of typical mods--Clipping the

that was one way of looking at it i suppose, but i still think that i
made the mistake early on. Anyhow, thanks for the help ok, i will
review your message in more detail and see if i can rectify the
problem ok, i will send you an email with my findings,

i'm monkeying around w/ FMS trying to hover, and can get nowhere
close.  using a model called "EDGE 3D" even.
granted my flying skillz are the pits, but i cant even come close.
is FMS just not capable of simulating a hover?

Has anyone done this? I am building a Cermark Javelin II. One of the
guys suggested that since the engine is inverted that it might be a
good idea to use two clunks. I can't see the sense in this but then,
who am I? Any comments?

I have tried the Futaba phone line and sent email which bounced. Here
is the problem. I have a twin and have the 9C programmed so that
switch C is used to control the two throttle servos. When C is
centered, the throttle stick controls both servos. When down, the left
