RE: Phoenix Models Fun Star 40-3D

I think mine was right in the middle of the recommended range.....for initial flights, I wouldn't go back any further than that........my would snap a bit with full up elevator...which I didn't...

RE: Phoenix Models Fun Star 40-3D

If I remember correctly, I used the recommended throws for initial flights, then cranked up the throws for 3D. Expo is more to personal taste....I think I ran about 35% on the ailerons, 30% on the...

RE: towers trainer..

Wrinkled ARFs are not uncommon......the plane takes a lot of changes in humidity and temperature during it's life in the box between the manufacturer, distributors, shipping companies, and retailer.

RE: WM T-34 questions/ updates

RE: WM T-34 questions/ updates

RE: towers trainer..

Just to clarify, a slightly nose down condition on the CG machine for a trainer is fine.......although yours definitely looks slightly nose heavy.

RE: WM T-34 questions/ updates

In addition to what Joe said, I like to use a pushrod or music wire and insert it into my fuel tubes, then bend them....that way, the pushrod or music wire will keep the tube from crimping when you...

RE: WM T-34 questions/ updates

RE: WM T-34 questions/ updates

Phat,
I used the stock setup.....can't remember if I crossed the pushrods in the fuse on this plane, but I know I have on others with the same type of setup. I would highly recommend using...

RE: World Models Cap232-46R

airborneSGT, are you stationed at Ft. Bragg? I might be heading down there on Dec. 16th for a ceremony for my brother-in-law that is down there. He is becoming a General.

RE: taking off advice

RE: Need Some Prop Advice

garcay, I think you mean less pitch to get more pull & less speed. Less pitch as in "5" compared to "7".

RE: help me decided my next plane

I agree about the 4-stroke........a .70 might just barely fly it.......definitely need a .90, and yes, a .70 will fit in the 4*40 if you decide to go with that.
