Other helis that use Blade SR electronics

My blade went in hard today after a tail motor failure. The cost of the parts to fix it would be over $100, which is completely not worth it. Are there any helicopters with a collective tail that...

Just picked up an Aurora 9. Installing a receiver in an EDF, and directions say to mount the receiver antenna away from the battery. Does anyone know just how far away it has to be, and if it's OK...

Hobby Masters in Raleigh?

Just moved back into the area after being away for a few years, and it looks like Hobby Masters is closed. I heard some rumors about it reopening at a new location, but nothing definite. Is this...

RE: Landing gear struts for retracts

Thanks for the help. I'll try to pick up some wire in the next few days and try that.

Don't have a vice with me here. I wonder if the apartment owners would object to me using the corner of...

Landing gear struts for retracts

I have a Patriot 40 with mechanical retracts. Problem is, takeoffs and landings from flying at a grass runway bend the spring coils in the main landing gear backwards. It doesn't take much for the...

RE: All Season Flyers

I've flown a glow plane in light rain. I put a small elbow on the carb in case the rain picked up enough to get in the engine.


I used to race an nitro touring car in the rain. My friends...

RE: 400 feet limit?

I would really like to know where you get your info.

Too busy to call attention to everything, so I'll just go with one for now. Transponders with altitude encoding (mode-C) are not required in...

RE: Help choosing 1st Plane

Building a plane is much more satisfying than bolting the wings together.

I had fun with my Carl Goldberg Eaglet 50, but some people find it a little small for a trainer, especially those who...

RE: Airbrakes or Flapperons?

Very true. Just remember, you're coming in for a go-around, unless you decide to land instead.

I wish a missed approach were an option. R/C ILS anyone?? [8D]

RE: In your opinion what is the best sport plane

My Lazy Tiger P-51 is an absolute blast to fly. I've got a good ol' reliable OS 25 in the nose which gives me all the power I need for short grass takeoffs. I can fly slow enough to keep it in a...

RE: rally scion xb

RE: College student discount

I can honestly say since I can only fly a few times a year the $58 membership fee just isn't worth it for me. I will probably re-join the AMA once I am out of college but for now I'll just resort to...
