RE: Transmitter Case and fit with 8FG- 12FG

When inserting the handle first it simply jams the foam walls out of the way.
The wording in the promotion add said "get a Free CUSTOM CASE"
I realize it's not a custom fit for the 12 FG, bug...

RE: New Radio's Antenna Question

EXACTLY !!!!!!! How you hold the transmitter is everything. Some people use body english; I don't. It's alway flat and my shoulders stay perfectly parallel to the flight line (IMAC flying). ...

RE: New Radio's Antenna Question

I have flown a Futaba TM8 module in a 9C for about 4 years. I have always had the antenna pointed slightly down and strait in front.
Never had a problem, but since I lost a 40% Extra to RF...

RE: New Radio's Antenna Question

By pointing down, I was referring to a 45 degree down angle toward the front. This would never put the aircraft in the "silent area" unless the TX was held up. Most manufacturers are vague on...

RE: New Radio's Antenna Question

Is this thread dead? When searching for a new radio, it's been an interesting read.

RE: OMG…just weighed my AW planes

You will rarely get an ARF to come in at the advertised weight. Built up kits are a bit different and have a lot more variables. You typically want to add around 5-8% to highest advertised weight...

RE: Structural Wing Failure; your opinion

It's kind of disappointing that these 150cc ARFs are only built to withstand 100-200 flights before their useful life has expired. This plane had a 3 month service life. 100 flights is really not...

I recently had a wing failure on a giant scale aerobatic ARF. The plane had its first flight in early May of 2010 and was in service until late July 2010. It had 100 flights on it and it flew well,...

RE: PBX flyer with feet
