RE: Hangar 9 Ultra Stick 40

I have the older Yellow Ultra Stik 40 without the counterbalanced tail. Was wondering if anyone modified a Yellow tail to be counterbalanced? Is it worth the hassle? Not necessary unless you're...

Anyone have any readings for a TT 0.40? These are the engines my club (NEPRO) uses for Pylon Racing.

RE: Radio Hardware

Dave,

For roughly the same price as the 149DP (~$150+13 for crystal), did you consider the Futaba R319DPS 9-Channel PCM Receiver Synthesized? More channels to play on, and about the same weight...

RE: Radio Hardware

Seems to be that HS-225's with NYLON GEARS for all three control surfaces is the winner.

Any thoughts on lightweight PCM receivers?

RE: Radio Hardware

Thanks again.

RE: Viper wheels

Lee,

For a throttle servo, would a Futaba FP-S133 work? I ask because I have a few in another plane.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the help, Mike

RE: Viper wheels

Dave,

I thought the CG tank would be wide. What about the standard with a 2" diameter? Mount it at the CG under the wing or foward just behind the firewall?

As for the HS-55, what I...
