I'd like to know where I can buy any of those Futaba transmitters at heavily discounted prices. I've not seen a price drop on any of them.

RE: Hangar 9 Warbird Elevator Reinforcement

Had to think about this for awhile. OK, Dash, you've sold me. Top is in tension and breaks first. Thanks for the enlightenment!

RE: Hangar 9 Warbird Elevator Reinforcement

Not sure what your point is, Rock. I agree that the horz stab is pushing down. My post is concerning the location of the compression and tension forces on the stab.

RE: Hangar 9 Warbird Elevator Reinforcement

RE: H-9 P-40B for $99.00

Asked about it at my LHS. They looked online and said that Horizon has sold out of them, but the LHS had 4 in stock and they matched the price. I couldn't pass this up for $99. Such a deal!

RE: H-9 P-40B for $99.00

The Horizon site has it listed as regularly $314.99, though my LHS sells it for $179.99. Still one helluva deal!!

I think Top Flite mis-understood my question, as their answer pertains to the mounting of the Robart Hinge Point hinges. Here is what they wrote:

RE: 60 size kits for $300 dollars? crazy

To find R/C stuff on CL, I've never looked in any particular category. Rather, I do a search on 'airplane', 'airplanes, 'planes' and 'plane'. Often, the kits are mixed in with other R/C airplane...
