RE: Sukhoi Su-26M BNF by ParkZone

The easiest and most effective adapter is one made from heat shrink tubing: get a small wire/drill bit that matches the 1.5mm shaft; shrink successive layers of heat shrink tubing onto the shaft...

I'm not nearly the stick man that GoldCraft is, but I haven't had any trouble in light wind so I agree that it's definitely NOT just an indoor flyer!! I'll bet geeter's friend was using the stock...

I've put over forty flights on the Sukhoi with the same heat-shrink-adapter-5043-prop. After getting a good tight fit of the adapter into the prop (I used four layers of tubing), the prop merely...

You could always wait for the Hobby Lobby 40% off coupon and get it there - many sizes.

RE: Sukhoi Su-26M BNF by ParkZone

I just use a thin wire through the prop adapter - not that much friction at all. I balanced six 5043s, and each required just a little scotch tape on the rear tip of a blade (No, after around thirty...

RE: Sukhoi Su-26M BNF by ParkZone

Impressive flying, GoldKraft!

What's the overall impact of the 240mah Zippy - longer flying time, obviously, but does the higher C rating translate into more power? Does it tax the stock motor?...

RE: Mini P-51D from Horizon/Parkzone

RE: Sukhoi Su-26M BNF by ParkZone

Very, very unlikely in my opinion, but the "safer" option, of course, is to undo the fuselage top and hold the gear with your finger.
