RE: Holy Spektrum FAIL?!

If you are using the orange receivers the range could be a problem. I've used over 20 orange receivers without a problem, but you have to know their limitations. In larger (about 40 size) you have...

RE: CG of Dynam Skybus DC-3

The Dyman DC-3 is a good flier. I painted mine to look like a WWII D-Day C=47. It was kind of a prototype before Nitroplanes introduced the C-47 version. I've had it well over a year now and made...

RE: Dynam Meteor build

I tend to use the 2X white Gorilla glue, by putting cross cuts on the surface to be clued and clamp or weigh it down. The problem is you cannot do field repairs. You're right about CA being too...

RE: First Rc Airplane?

I don't think the Ultra Stick is a good beginners plane. I suggest you look into the Hawk Sky by Nitoplanes or Easy Star by Mutiplex. I've flown both and as a trainer they are durable and fly well....

RE: What elelc motor for .40 trainer?

Not knowing the weight of the plane, The products sold from HobbyPartz, an Alpha 480, with a 30 amp ESC and a 9x5 prop should fit the bill. Add a 2200 mah 3 cell, 20 to 25 C rated battery should...
