You might want to add a few dryer sheets or moth balls to the planes just to be safe. Mice can make things a real mess if you give them a chance.

The ys140 was sold as an option by QQ with this plane. I had an os 160 on mine, and had to put the battery pack on the engine box in order to balance. If you have to do this, a a123 pack might be a...

RE: Spectrum DX8, Love it? Hate it? What?

RE: Landing Gear Fairing attachment help

My fairings had a strip of wood infront and behind the wire, about a half inch wide, the full length along the wire. I put a landing gear strap towards the top and bottom, makes it easy to remove.

RE: OMP YAK 47

Follow the directions, and it will turn out good. The only concern I had was the teatherite landing gear, they are abit spongy when landing and prop strikes if the landing isn't somewhat smooth.

RE: Funtana X100

I didn't like how loose the metal clevises felt when threaded on the rod, felt like a lot of play -way too much for me. I used the dubro clevis also, makes things feel smoother.
