RE: What Mode is this?

My 6EXA will do mode 3 and 4. I did it once at the flying field while attempting to switch to model 3. I had to return home and read the manual before I could go back to flying.

RE: Uproar or Fun51?

I put a couple of flights on my Uproar today. It has been a very tough and durable plane. I broke the fuse behind the wing about a hundred flights ago. It is an easy fix and I had it back out flying...

RE: Hi - Stupid Question from a Newbie

If making it pretty does not matter to you, bringing the antenna out the rear of the fuselage and letting it flap in the breeze works just fine. This may even be less likely to break the antenna...

RE: things we say when we crash

On the spectacular midair two weeks ago, "WOW"

RE: Second Thoughts...

Something you may want to look into is some of the brushless electric 3D planes. You'll learn fast on one and have a plane that you can fly many places other than the flying field. They are a little...

RE: Slowstick 400

We have had very good results with the Slow Stick 300 using 8.4v NiMH batteries 1100 - 1200 mAh and Hitec flight packs with the 555 receiver and HS-81 servos. The GWS receivers are fine for flying in...

RE: Hobbico Superstar trainer (more questions)

We just got back from the flying field. For some reason, I asked the kid to loan me his radio at the end of the night and put the 144th flight of the year on our Superstar with a 40LA. I hadn't flown...

RE: Hobbico Superstar Gas plane

I learned on a RTF Superstar last year. I did considerable damage to it in December and replaced it with the ARF version. The second one has 142 flights on it and is going strong. My 10 year old son...

RE: Humidity and Engine Performance

Large changes in temperature or humidity require a little retuning of the carburetors on our engines. Same goes for any performance, naturally aspirated engine.

RE: stuff from hobby-lobby.is this good?

I'm using the inexpensive Hobbico Quick Field DC Charger MKII 12 Volt. I have read some comments that it does not have enough bells and whistles for the LiPo's, but I've been very happy with it.

RE: What products to buy to make slow stick fly?

We are flying them with HS81 servos, Hitec 555 receiver, and Electrifly C10 or any other cheap 10A or better ESC. We use the stock 300C motor and gear box and a 1100 or 1200 mAh 7 cell (8.4 volt)...

RE: stuff from hobby-lobby.is this good?

I would not recommend going that route unless it is what you have. With the 2208/34 and everything else as light as possible the plane accelerates nicely out of a hover. Knife edge loops are as easy...

RE: I am getting very anxious

I also look forward to Minns advice and find it very valuable, but have to differ with him here. Get the Slow Stick, set the rudder up on the left stick and learn to fly the rudder. I set my 10 year...
