Top Ten RCU Qestions of the Year!!!
Top Ten RCU Questions
10. Why doesn't my glow fuel glow in the jugs when I turn the lights out??
9. I need to pressurize my fuel tank. Is it ok to have my buddy Mac run along side my airplane while I'm flying, and use a turkey baster to pump up the pressure???
8. I rigged up bottle rockets on top of my SPAD. I just need to know what is the best way to ignite the fuses??
7. My wife wants me to sign up for dancing lessons with her. Can this be considered a good thing??
6. How can I stabilize my GI Joe with karate chop action so that I can set him in front of the prop and use him to flip the engine over??
5. If I said you have a beautiful airplane, would you hold it against me??
4. I mounted my transmitter inside my big portable "boom box." How can I wire the transmitter to change tracks on my cd player while I fly?
3. We are having a "swingers" fly in. How many condoms can I stuff into a C147 for the ever popular "condom drop.?"
2. Is it normal for a plane to burst into a gigantic fireball while flying a slow standard pattern? I'm a beginner.
1. This is my first plane. I am mounting a jet engine into my clipped wing Piper Cub. I am also installing a retractable tailwheel. Is it possible to also rig it with a tailhook for aircraft carrier landings??? My buddy has a 100' scale aircraft carrier on wheels we are going to practice touch and goes with. Again, I'm a beginner.

What prop do I need to use to hover my 120 size brick. I have a OS 46 on it.
How much weight will I need to make my new magic balance. I have a Saito 180 mounted up front.
Will standard servos be OK on my new 40% cap and can I use my 4 channel radio.

I just bought a P-51. Is this a good plane to start with? How do I hook up bombs? I want to drop little napalm bombs on my school principal's house. I think that would be cool.
PS I filled the tank with gasoline, why won't my engine start?

My child like paper airplanes and I want to spend money. Who sells the cheapest glow powered weapon? He said he can learn to fly at a local high school football field where there's lots of room.

on my plan and instructions theres a symbol marked "CofG should be here" and then a section explaining how to achieve it..
Is this the best position for my plane? Its a "1D10T PR00F 1" that no ones ever heard of let alone know CofG off by heart

Q&A session with an annoying bystander while I was flying a sailplane.
"Are you controlling that?" yes.
"How High can it go?" as far as I can see.
"How Fast can it go?" 300 mph
"How Long can it Fly For?" fourty-five minutes
"If the Engine Stops, Will It Crash?" it doesn't have an engine.
"How can it Fly with no Engine?" gravity.

How much does that cost?
its worth more than you
Can I fly it?
You think im crazy? NO!
Hey can you help me out, I just bought this plane and I want you to fly it.
Ok, first thing you do is take these rubberbands off the wing and then put the wing on with the round edge foreward.
Newbie puts electric started on spinner and sits there spinning the engine for 5 min.
Instructor walks over and puts glow starter on engine and it start immediately.

I ALWAYS get asked this one at school.
'What happens if it crashes'
I tell them.
'It crashes'. Then they answer, 'yeah, no'
