RE: tric. landing

You may have to release some rudder input once the nosewheel touches, but not all, depending on how much nosewheel deflection you have. Depending on how strong the x-wind the plane may still...

RE: 1/2A build with standard servos

I've had standard servos on a plane this size and it was overkill, (long time ago, was a flybaby designed for .074 power). 4 channel and I used 4 standard servos because back then micros were way...

RE: New Great Planes Revolver

Tip of the pipe is only 5/8". Not sure about diverter, haven't tried it. I've tried them on a few motors and it tended to make them overheat. It has never flown. I ran it on the bench about 15 years...

RE: Great Planes Escapade .40 ARF

I'm really considering one of these for an engine that needs a home. It's a Fitzpatrick .61 I bought new about 15 years ago, (because it was a good deal). Due to the mirror polish and unique look...

RE: Hostetler Skybolt/Saito 300 twin combo

I have neither, but a few thoughts did come up. I think the 300T would fly it, but more scale than unlimited aerobat. Looks like a light wingloading so that is in your favor. You may have to add...

RE: Cherokee Flap Help

short arm on servo and long arm on control surface will give you the least amount of control deflection. I don't have that radio so I'm not sure if it has ATV for that channel, my futaba 8U does

RE: Goose's TWM 27% Ultimate assembly

I think we may be some of the few with this model, but that isn't a bad thing! On a flight line full of Edges and Extras, the Ultimate looks almost defiant. the HS5625's should do you right. I...

RE: Goose's TWM 27% Ultimate assembly
