Hello , am wondering if someone would know how much the Enya .80 Four Cycle
engine weighs ? , looked around the web and no luck , think they were very
popular many years ago .
Thanks

I have completed a slow flier from plans  and shown at
www.indoorflyingmodel.com.  It is the 'Chickadee'.
The author used ' litespan' covering which requires the application of heat
for adhesion. It is not avilable locally. Also, the use of heat is foreign

I lost my easyglider today. I was going for a little more altitude
than I have in the past and apparently lost radio contact. I almost
brought it back but it finally went straight down really fast and
toasted everything. Complete loss except for the two wing mounted

OK.  The motor (Fox 35 stunt) is getting torn down ready to get all the
25 year old gunk off and out in preparation for flight.
But for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the con-rod off!  
I've got the liner out, no problem (and yes, I remembered to mark it so

Welp, after toasting my easy glider I'm back in the air.
Several months ago one of my customers from my job gave me a

I'm just getting back into RC and have a partially built (wing and tail)
Black Baron Special. I have all the parts but no instructions other than the
wing plans. If anyone has the instructions and can copy/scan them for me it

Thanks,

I am looking for drawings of  Clough's Martian Spaceship.  Does anyone
have a set that can be scanned, or know where I can get them?
Thank you.

Well, I _thought_ I was done with the covering -- I still have one stripe
to add to the bottom, and my AMA number on the wing.  But it's looking

After many months of work developing my new product line, getting prototypes made and perfected, selecting the "color" of the anodizing, coordinating the manufacturing, etc. etc. etc.  our company is finally launched!

I am looking to order a screwdriver suitable for the screws which Futaba
provide with the servo's. Can somebody provide a link to one as trying to
determine what I need is a bit bewildering.

Anyoone know where I can get spares (in the UK) for an SC 120 four
stroke?
I need the rocker cover as it's got a bit scraped!
TIA

Now that it has some _black_ on all that unrelieved _orange_!
This color scheme isn't too bad, after all!  I think I'm taking nearly as

and for a lower-quality finish.  Granted, some of both the time and
