RE: Official Hobby Zone

You would think that after having my hand sliced up by the glow plane, I would go back to the park flyer.

No, as soon as I got the stitches out I went and got another glow plane...

Fun fun fun.  Good flight stories.

I took my Superstar 40 and the SC to a "proper" field last night.  A member met me there and helped me set up the glow plane for its maiden, and I flew the SC...

RE: Official Hobby Zone

Ithink any rc grade rubbers will do. The HZones are a rip off. Igot a box of 100 from the LHSfor $5 and use them on the SC and my Superstar 40. The SCdoesn't need much...4 is fine. The Superstar...

RE: Official Hobby Zone

So, I'm a bit comfused about outrunners.  What would be relatively similar to a 400 or a 480 brushed motor?  Most brushless motors are rated in amps, like 18A or 25A, or output wattage.  I checked...

RE: Official Hobby Zone

You are right, maybe I'm being a whimp. I put a ton of work into that plane and would hate to see it go down on the first flight (it's balsa, not foam), but just the same, if it doesn't fly what's...
