G2 Problem

I am getting back into the hobby after about a 5 year layoff, so I dusted off my G2 CD and installed it on my computer w/ XP on it. The program was installed on my old computer that crashed and was...

RE: Has anyone used Epoxy on coroplast?

For what little you actuall have to glue on the SPAD's, with a little time management, you can still have a plane built in no time when you use goop or welder. For example, I would cut everything...

RE: i want to build a 3d spad

I have a QHOR .40 that has an OS .40 FP on it. It flies great. I think I cut an inch off each side to make sure the FP would pull it around ok. Just build one and you can always change motors for...

RE: wow, 1st plane, few questions

Go with the SPAD Planes, there are plenty of options available. Don't be scared of the Stick Type planes to learn on either. They land faster, but usually fly better IMO.

If you do decide to...

RE: Show me your worst builds....

Actually I think its great that you are building such a kit. That is the only way you will know how to fix it properly if/when you crash it. It should fly fine, you should have seen the first SPAD...

RE: beginner having trouble in aluminum & coro, please help

The only problem I see is that 5mm coro and the alum. tube will weigh more which might require more power. I would use the 3mm coro instead to save on the weight. And, I would not add any length to...

RE: U.S. AirCore 40 Trainer Kit

For the $70-$80 for the Aircore, which is not a bad plane, you could build 3 SPADS (at least). YOur first plane will cost a little more, but you will have enough supplies to build a few more after...

RE: and I thought I knew it all

Other than checking the obvious that your elevator is moving in the correct direction, I would try moving the CG forward or add weight to the tail. See if that helps. Also, make sure that the...

RE: Looking for a plane

Since you already have Heli experience, and since a heli, when moving, controls are pretty close to the way a plane flies, I would not even waste my time with a trainer, and go to a stick type plane....

RE: Coro cutter information

I use a retractable razor knife from home depot. you can break off the blade to keep it sharp. The best thing is that you can retract the blade all the way in then one click out so just the tip...

RE: spadstick under construction

Tapering the ailrons means that the width of them at the tip needs to be smaller than the root. The SpadStick is a great plane, but like most Spads, the ailrons dont flex the same amount near the...

RE: hovering?

The most realistic, and easiest, plane on RF G2 is the Biplane. You have to create a copy and then I went in and moved the CG back about .5 to .7 inches. It isnt like the real thing, but you can...

RE: SPA3DT

The Spad3D is a better design. It is stronger and it does weigh more. The only advantage I would think is that the PQHOR could be powered by a smaller engine. Mine has a .40FP on it and it can...

RE: The Best Trainer

I trained on a CG Eagle 2 and it is a great plane to train on. But, IMO, it is not as good as the LT-40 for a real beginner. One of the biggest differences I noticed is that the ailrons react...
