RE: Great Planes Escapade .40 ARF

RE: Black Horse P-51

I can't agree with you more. I try to contact them with no success. By the way, Hobby People has it on sale for $149 so I did not waste my chance today. BH planes are excellent built like my Trojan...

RE: Lado retracts, do the really exist?

I guess I would jump on the band wagon. I got a pair of 60 narrow size, only to find out one of them never works. Email Doug, he was quick to respond "Send it back to me, I'll repair it". Too...

RE: ARC Jupiter

Please note that there is a duplication slide in the above posting. The slides that have a flag at the top right corner are duplication. The last slide should be in the second. Sorry about that.

Rightly said! I maiden a size 50 CMP last Friday. The CG was at 75 mm from leading edge. It nosed over too easy and needed a lot of right rudder on take off. Once airborn, it snapped away to the...

RE: ARC Jupiter
