What's special about Powermaster fuel ? My local Hobby Shop in Ottawa told me today that Power master was out of business. Is it better than Omega or Cool Power ?

Brushless for a .40 size plane ?

Coming from the nitro side it's not easy to undestand what size of motor to get, for example a .40 engine will spin a 10x6 prop at 16,000 turns and pull a 5 lbs plane. Now I kind of realise a...

RE: Superstar EP battery or ESC problems.

Ok one thing at a time then.. how do ESC's work normally ? When the power is too low they cut the motor to leave enough power for the servos to keep working until you land ?

Superstar EP battery or ESC problems.

When I fly, the motor cuts after about 30 seconds. I can put the throttle at about 50% and it will run another couple seconds before cutting again. Is this because my battery isn't charger properly ?...

I wanna build a Sopwith Camel low wing only, is it going to fly ?

With only the lower wing, I would add a few ribs to make the wings a bit longer for extra lift and maybe adjust the airfoil a bit ?
Any opinions thanks !!

RE: Any recommendations before using a .48 Surpass that didn't run in about 7 years ?

Ok great, and what is it that makes the crank bearings rust, combustion by-products I guess, it's probably written all over this forum but I'm not a regular. Thanks !

Every couple years I take out my planes again and fly them, then put them away for another while.. The engine has really low mileage..

That has nothing to do, it does NOT start, I bought at least 15 new nitro engines before and they all STARTED.
