I noticed that SIG now has a 1/5 scale J-3 Cub kit, which they label their "anniversary" Cub kit. Their web site says the kit has loads of scale Cub details. Does anyone have any experience with this...

RE: Great Planes Spectra ARF

I flew a Spectra ARF as my first sailplane a couple years ago. I used the stock setup. It flew fine here in Wisconsin, but it is definitely underpowered. (Stock motor and esc with 7 cell battery)....

RE: Just Ordered Hobby-Lobby Zip HLG, any thoughts?

I flew a Zip last summer. I didn't like the wooden fusealge boom, and eventually replaced it with a Great Planes Fling hand launched glider. The ZIP flew OK, but I like the way the Fling flies better.

RE: Any Top Flite P-39 kit builders out there?

I built this kit 4 years or so ago. We fly from a rather rough grass field, so I couldn't include retracts and I didn't need flaps. In other words, I just built a simple "4-channel-sport-scale"...

RE: Top Flite P-39

I love this kit. It was my first warbird for an engine larger than .40-.46 size. I have flown my TF P-39 for 3 years. Since it was my first, I decided to go with a fixed gear, and no flaps. In other...

RE: What's a good stable first war bird?
