RE: I got hit by a park flyer

Personally I don't think there was anything wrong with this thread. It does point out something we many times don't even see - what's going on around us - until it smacks us in the face (or in this...

RE: Advice on First Radio

I have to agree with Piper Chuck and SST, I'm building my third plane now and I only have a 4 channel radio (well technically 5). Mine is a JR 421EX. This is a basic computer radio for a good...

RE: Advice on beginner setup

I have to agree about having an extra channel. I have a five channel transmitter, but have yet to use the 5th channel, but it's nice knowing it's there. As to which frequency to pick, I'd look at...

RE: Sig LT-40 Build

Yea, I was in Whidby Island, WA when I learned to fly. 20mph is the norm. I think it's better to learn to fly in the wind. It's like learning to drive on a stick shift, easier to learn first than...

RE: stupid trike gear, grrrrrr...

RE: stupid trike gear, grrrrrr...

Sarge, don't be so fast to give up on the trike gears. I also have an LT-40 with the trike set-up and what frustrated me was just about every time I landed the plane I smacked the prop off the...

RE: Sig LT-40 Build

Somegeek,

RE: Sig LT-40 Build

Somegeek,
Glad to hear your training is going well. Have you thought about a second plane? Also do you have any pics of your plane in flight? Would love to see them if you do.

RE: LT-40 pushrod is a little stiff, help?

When I built my LT-40 I don't remember it being stiff, but that was a while ago. Standard servos are more than enough for the LT-40. What engine are you using?

RE: Minors Flying Alone - Seeking Your Input

3dbob,

I agree that using a buddy system is just good head-work, but for us "adults" its our right to be stupid if we want to. My point is what about minors? What liability issues is the...

RE: Planning to Buy Sig Kadet Senior ARF, Opinions?

I forgot to mention in my earlier post about flying in the wind. I've flown in 20 mph winds. If you have a little experience (and it doesn't take much) you can have a lot of fun flying in the wind....

RE: Planning to Buy Sig Kadet Senior ARF, Opinions?

I have to agree with the rest that a Kadet is an awesome trainer. I don't know as much about the Senior though. I personally wouldn't get a trainer without ailerons. I prefer to have that added...
