RE: Incredible service

Yeah, that and package it up and mail it back. It probably cost them $50 by the time all the administrative tasks and postage was paid. I still say that is the kind of service that makes for loyal...

Incredible service

I recently zapped my 9303 by plugging it into the wrong charger. JR/Horizon service not only fixed it promptly, they didn't charge me a dime for what was clearly my stupid mistake. Once again, I'm...

RE: GP Super Stearman

OK, I know I'm butting in but I also looked at electrifying this model. After reading this and other threads I came to the conclusion that this Stearman just isn't the best candidate for electric...

RE: GP Super Stearman

I'm so looking forward to the SS. I was out of the hobby for a number of years before returning and am now flying my old four star. I've got a giant chipmunk ready to go and a Lanceair that needs...

RE: GP Super Stearman

I took a look at the Beaver and liked what I read. Have you flown off water with it as well? Our club has regular float flys but I've never even considered it before. I know what you mean about...

Everything I learned was on this thread. It just confirmed what I already suspected the GP Stearman isn't a great choice for a first electric conversion. So I'm back to either a Saito...

RE: GP Super Stearman

I just got my box from Tower last week. I can't make up my mind about engines, though. I had planned on either the Saito 170R or 182T but after a frustrating weekend with my trusty OS 61 doing...

RE: Gyros

Slightly off topic, but what is a dutch roll? Can I assume this is something I don't ever want to do?

RE: Goldberg Tiger 2 ARF Problem...

You could consider placing a micro servo ahead of the firewall instead of trying to hack everything up. I just finished doing that on my Lancair and it really cleaned up the installation as well as...

RE: Lancair Wing Failures

I thought about mounting the twin upside down but the exhaust pipes won't clear. I flexed them as much as I dared on this installation. Given what Horizon Hobby charges for replacements I didn't...

RE: Lancair Wing Failures

One other thing I did differently. Since the throttle servo is out of the way on the firewall I had room on the servo tray to use a separate servo for steering on an extra channel. My JR 8103 has...

RE: Lancair Wing Failures

As I mentioned earlier, the final balance required only about 1/3 ounce. Here is a picture the battery compartment. The small jack and LED are for charging the on-board glow driver. The glow...

RE: Lancair Wing Failures

Here's a front view of the uncowled engine. Note that the needle valves stick up well above the cowl line. As it turns out, the intake manifold rubbed the top of the cowl as well so I had to cut...

I received the new one piece landing gear and installed it without problem. I had glassed the center section in three pieces so the original measurement worked just fine. I checked the balance and...

RE: Saito 100 T twin ...Best ARF to build around it ?

I'm most of the way through installation of this engine in a GP Lancair. It ALMOST fits the cowl. I had to open up a gap for the intake pipes, choke, and needle valves. I bought some standoffs...

RE: Throttle servo placement

Thanks to all who answered. I'm going to mount it up front. I haven't decided if I'm going to wrap it in something or not.

Throttle servo placement

Is it safe to install the thottle servo for a cowled Saito 100T (twin) in front of the firewall? If I don't then I'm going to have to add a lot of linkage (like with a bell crank) to get around the...
