I am trying to teach myself to knife edge using an Aero-Works 540T
Edge. Good airplane. I know I am supposed to give it opposite rudder
from the aileron roll but I can't stop the roll. What am I doing wrong?

Hi all... hope im not being rude by posting this , but its a really
great book, and I think alot of readers might be interested......

Model Building"

I've read of a program --Smart Propoplus-- that says if I down-load
it..---and-- make up my own cord, I can use "any" transmitter to train on
the FMS program.  Has anyone done this on the Spectrum DX6?.  The site
certainly implies that it works with lots of TX's.

I will soon be replacing the bearings in my Saito 82.  How much of the
engine will I have to disassemble to get the crank out?  Will I have to take
out the valves and push rods?

After reading another thread I went to a plans site and downloaded a few
old timer plans, updated for RC.  I got the Spook, Quaker, Dallaire, and
the Guff.  After rearranging the parts to fit on a 30 inch wide sheet,
I'm ready to put them on paper.

Park, Owner of HitecRCD, that he had purchased Multiplex, that they

I just acquired what appears to be an older nitro plane, with radio
set. The plane looks to be in good shape - used but not crashed. I don't

have no desire to tinker with an IC engine of this sort. It's ...

I'm just getting started in this hobby, and would like your thoughts on
which of these two kits to buy. I like the looks of the Cutie a little
bit more,(and you get a whole lot more in the kit) but the $99 price as
opposed to the Q-Tee $49 makes me pause.

If you have or know where I can get plans for a Miles Messenger please
let me know.
I have all the usual plan places including Traplet, with no luck.
Thanks,

I'm relooking at getting a Pelikan-Extreme electric glider, because a mate's
got one for sale. He bought it thinking it was more aerobatic than it is,
(it's a little tame for him - but he's a much more experienced flyer than
me).

I've realised that is I want some answers to my question, this is th
place to come.  I have to confess I'm not into RC yet... maybe on
day!
I've got a 9ah LiPo 7s that needs a charger.  The original one die
