CMPRO is a different story - I've checked the contents of the box, but I must say that I wasn't so impressed as with this Staudacher (I don't know which company makes this ARF). Another friend of...

RE: Creek Hobbies / <span class=

Hi!

I've checked Slimline and Bison mufflers, but both are too large to fit under the cowl when this ST3250 is mounted inverted. This would be OK when the engine is mounted at 90 degress right,...

RE: Creek Hobbies / Protech Staudacher GS-600 Mods

Thanks for useful tips Mike.

Dennis, it's a simple modification. Just drill the holes where hook comes in the root rib of the wing (there is a hardwood insert in the foam) - tap the hole with...

Hi!

I have an older OS .91 FS Surpass engine. It works great, no doubt about it. The problem is that currently I have it installed on a pattern ship, fuel tank is near CG position. The problem is...

Slope aerobatics

Do you mean scale and big enough so that the model is easy to transport? Then try something like Fox, Swift, Salto, Pilatus B4 and similar. I had a lot of fun with my old 2.11 m span Swift, currently...

Jantar

Hi there!

Jantar is quite popular here in Europe because it's quite cheap (the foam/obechi wing version, not all fiberglass version). It is quite a good all-round flier.

Hello.

I've flown one, my friends had a few of them, but I've never owned one. Duraflex (ABS plastic) fuselage is not as good as it is advertised. It maybe works on gliders and motorgliders from...

Salto is a rare bird. Color schemes are hard to find - use links sections at large scale soaring homepages and you'll find something usefull.

Full size bird has airbrakes, but with such...
