RE: TF GS P47 Build - yeah another bloody one!!

I reviewed some of the sliding canopies and they all look great. The square stock and ball link seem to be reliable. I am building the razorback and didn't see any detailed sliders in that version....

RE: TF GS P47 Build - yeah another bloody one!!

RE: TF GS P47 Build - yeah another bloody one!!

RE: Building a Dynaflite Super Decathlon

Wonderful posts guys. I'm a newcomer still, so the tips here are great. I love the kit, but I'm doing a "stock build." I'm not going way out on the scale details because I'm still learning. What I...

RE: Dynaflight Decathalon

Quick question- it seems to me that everyone is so pro-gas that I'm not hearing any feedback on the glow options. Is the 1.82 Saito underpowered ? Is the price of glow fuel really that prohibitive...
