RE: Odd discovery with my YS1.10FZ

Which engine do you have? Pipe from the hardware store won't likely fit the threads in your YS, they're metric threads, not pipe threads.

I use Hitec servos almost exclusively, mostly 5485's. Those exposed to water are opened up and dipped in Corrosion X. I've never had one fail from getting wet.

RE: glue for foam

Depending on just what kind of foam it is, you could use hot melt glue. Try it on a scrap first and use a lower setting if your glue gun has different heat settings.

RE: HS-5085MG: What is a proper power supply?

Also, you said that the battery pack is new. In my experience, nimh packs require several charge/discharge cycles (3-4) before they are able to perform to their capacity.

RE: Electrical connectors

Ditch the voltwatch, it won't tell you anything useful. If you're concerned about the battery's condition or how it actually preforms in flight, get one of these http://www.voltmagic.com/ .

RE: sandy beach giving problems

I bring a folding table and start the planes on that. Then carry them to the water's edge and place them into the water. They never touch the sand and I've never had the problem the op describes.

RE: Help....Warped elevator

You could try heating the covering to pull some of the warp out, but judging from the severity of the warp, I don't think it'd work. I don't see a quick fix. If it were my plane, I'd:
