Dad built one as a sport plane around 1990 and put a .75 in it.

Well, that little storage experiment ended in a stinking mess of putrid oil residue and corrosion.

Judging by the position of papaone's Individual Champion's photo, and the probability he might have been wearing a blue shirt, I think I was standing right behind him?

Contra is what Contra is I guess, so long as the pilot is effectively in command of ESC output PWM percentage.

As for P-factor? Now I'm messing around with heli's as well and I'm still trying to...

Thanks Will.
This will be a first for me as I was a bit young and not really into F3A when the Championships were here last time around.

I'm not really a social butterfly, so I'll probably be...

Which is sort of why something like the SPA happened, some people just wanted to put a sport engine into a classic airframe with fixed gear and just fly it without the fiddling.

Futaba BLS175SV servo question

I'm freshening up the old war horse with some new servos and have stumbled on a bit of strangeness.

R2608SB Rx, BLS175SV (rudder). 14MZ Tx.

I put the rudder servo in, made a new model memory...

Futaba not making their pots available as replacement parts is something I don't agree with. They charge top dollar for a servo with quality electronics and will sell you a replacement gear train and...

Silly me got some names mixed up, it was in 2008 and it was made by Henry Nelson. It's an AAC liner so it's much lighter than an ABC one. I think the port timing might be tweaked too (for better or...

Yes, I've been in the game for a few years now. Was about 7.25lbs at the time, super light and I wouldn't do a snap roll with it anymore. Still with Hanno, but the pump has 140RX pump swap. It's...

My plane only had an adjustable stab with a one-piece wing bolted in and when I first flew it, it needed heaps of up elevator trim and flew horrible knife edges as well as the OP's plane. I can't...

To be honest, I've always been a bit confused about the elevator trim, tuck/pull relationship.

In my simple mind, elevator trim means you're now flying a plane that has a cambered airfoil stab. A...

There's also a whole back catalogue of schedules for people to try out, practice and have fun with, and they should be encouraged to do so.

It's not the F3A/F3P hybrid of today.

Oddly enough I think gyro's/flight stabilisation isn't a bad idea for F3A's future. An F3A ship should be the best flying plane at the flying field and look rock solid under all conditions. The...
