RE: antenna question?

Theoretically stated, it’s line of sight. If you can see, you can control it. My guess for practical outer limits of having control would be perhaps one 1 to 1-1/2 mile maximum with the plane...

You guys crack me up! Cut the last half-inch of insulation off the antenna for better reception! LOL

RE: Four*60 engine question

Maybe a tad less floaty, but in reality, the few extra ounces doesn't make any real noticeable difference. It still floats unless your final is long and flat.

Couldn't hurt to put some hard-points in and install some flying wires, but I don't think it necessary.

RE: Four*60 engine question

I don't think a 90 Super Tigre is too much for the 4*60. I would certainly use throttle management when necessary.

I have one with a Sport Jett .76 and Dub's tuned pipe, which should be...

Radio frequency choice?

That's the $64 question, Mike. We'd all like to know.

midstar 40: seperate aileron servos??

I'm with MinnFlyer on this one.

Yellow Jacket Problems at Field

Dave, how did you know I wore a hat?

It is multi-colored, but I thought hornets only saw shades of Grey -- like dogs.

How do I tap a engine mount hole?

You don't have to tap them, although I do and I think most do, too.
