RE: Radio

RE: Radio

Radio

I have been flying a Nexstar for a couple of years. I was thinking of getting a Hanger 9 P51 RTF so I could get a new 2.4 radio as well as move up to a low wing. Or should I just bite the bullet and...

RE: does fuel choice effect flight time?

Boy that's true. I always needed a break before I ran out of gas for the first couple of months. Then my endurance increased. The flight instructor would also go over what I would be doing in each...

RE: does fuel choice effect flight time?

I have a NexStar and I get more minutes through throttle control. Not always running wide open. I use 15% nitro. I always run a little on the rich side to extend the life of the engine, and in hot...

RE: Are you a member of a club?

I have been a member of Michigan Signal Seekers for around 4 years. I still fly a trainer and don't get out as much as I'd like too. I have one foamy electric and really love pattern flying - which...

RE: Airplane Finish

I'm sorry for not being clear enough. I mean that I was debating of finishing my model with silkspan and dope hoping to save weight. As I understand from my reading, that the choice is not so much a...

RE: Airplane Finish

I am building an Epsilon 120 and it is a little on the heavy side (by design, not because of building heavy). I was hoping to save a lot of weight by trying silkspan and dope instead of monokote. If...

RE: Airplane Finish

RE: Losing our rights to a club raffle
