RE: Habu first EDF

Check out the phase 3 F-16 if you are not opposed to hand launching. Very wide speed range plus lots of info and hop-up tips if desired.

RE: MT-57 Problem

You might also check your local hobby shop. I was able to find a teflon based coupler close enough size to use to solve this same issue last year. The part was intended for rc car use but has worked...

RE: Two Stroke Oil Detectives - a new project!

FWIW, my local stihl dealer gave me some grief when I tried to buy the ultra this summer. Seams they had been instructed to only sell it for use with their 4-MIX® engines. I went back later, avoided...

RE: A123 Battery Question.

I posted the same question in the "other" site. Responders suggested I discharge/charge the packs down to a nominal 6 volts.

RE: RCGF Engines

I can confirm my 26 was the older design. This one came with the large spark plug and still had the plate on the cylinder covering the port for a side mount carb. I will eventually buy a new cap and...

RE: What charger are you using A123 ?

I have just bought the FMA multicharger myself. This may be a improvement over the 4S, but the multi version will charge packs with or without balancing leads for both lipos or A123's. Other than...

RE: RCGF Engines

RE: Desert Aircraft 50 cc. Anyone having problems with broken rings?

I would personally add a 3rd posibility to the list. Bad gas. As in bad from the pump, not from storage. Have you run your mixture or even straight gas from the same source in any of your other...

RE: Aeroworks 29% Katana with a 3W 75i?

Just be careful with your landing speeds or any during any other low air speed manuvers, stall speed will go up as wing loading increase. I had one with a DA50, so I was on the other side of the...
