RE: Recommended trainer, Hobbico?

I think Leo L hit the nail right on the head. Either of those planes are excellent choices. I would also suggest that you make sure that you get the newer brushless motor version. There are still...

RE: Help trying to get back into RC planes - Parkzone any good?

The Parkzone T28 is not a trainer, but it is not a high skill level plane and is much easier to fly than the Mustang. If you have previous experience flying, it might be something that you could...

I thought some of you would like to see a couple picures of the Gee Bee Racer that my friend is scratch building. It is patterned from plans from a u-line kit from the 1960's and updated for RC. It...

That is the great thing about it. As more people make the switch to 2.4 the less likely anyone on 72mhz. will have any interference. I can't wait for the day that everyone else in my club has changed...

RE: Tx and Rx compatability for a newbie
