RE: zippy lipos are they any good

I have been using the Zippy's for a few years now and I have been happy with them. You cant beat the price and they have always performed quite well for me.

RE: How Many Times Have You Crashed?

I picked 6-10 cause I only counted the times I have destroyed a model. I didn't count repairable damage as I do not consider that a crash, more of a mishap or incident. :D

RE: Great Planes Escapade .40 ARF

Try setting your CG at 70mm. This is still within the range specified by GP but will help you slwo down the landings some. Also try a 11x6 on your 55AX. Mine slows down nice with this set up. The...

RE: Where to buy 6V NiMH Rx Pack
