RE: BJCraft Episode

I use up aileron for landing on my biplanes. With the extra wing area of the bipe there is sometimes a need to kill lift absent a head wind. Also, the effective washout is very helpful in gusty...

RE: New OXAI CITRIN by Wolfgang and Roland Matt

It is mounted on the bottom of the fuse, below spinner. No airflow. I have found the Spin ESC does not get overheated no matter where it is placed relative to air flow.
