Status: offline 		DX7...a glitch? I would say that's not possible, I'll double check with the Horizon team.. but I believe it works the same as PCM. If you had some sort of radio interference, it would go into "fail safe", and the throttle would shut down. Maybe that's what it did, but I hear "glitch".... ???

I flew my new GR7 this last Friday with my DX7, all is good. Plane fly's good...

Which airplane does this Q40 - (Reno Racer) come From.

Calls my attention the shape of the wings with no straight lines in the Leading and Trailing edges.

Best Regards.

Status: offline 		As the Kaze Killer, it did little. Keith Davidson built the F1 model and gave it that name. He also knew Grove and tried to get him to rename the full sized airplane. You have never seen a model finished unless you saw one of Keith's airplanes.

GR-7 was designed by Robbie Grove of San Diego. Bummer's Bullet was the name given to it by owner Jim Bumford.

Status: offline 		I'm not sure how many full-size GR-7's were built, but I know of at least two. One crashed, killing the pilot, and the other's listed here....

Cool airplanes, too bad we have the 56" wingspan limit for Q40, as a "scale" planform wing with 400 square inches would be about 64" long!
