Thanks for the reply. I will look more closely as I go through the settings. I did notice that command when I change models. The manual showed the command of "end", "end" for some edits. The guy in...

Setting savings problems with Futaba T8J

Got a Futaba T8J in December and was imputing the flight settings for my models and have discovered that it is not saving the settings. If I go from model to model and then turn the transmitter off,...

RE: Deployed flaps plane stalled and crashed

Hey A70, sorry for your loss. I've had some similar experience with flaps but not as disappointing as yours. A couple of 60 size warbirds and a Piper Pawnee. But they didn't have the size of flaps...

RE: Flap Problem

The servo reversing Y harness is a simple and economical solution, less than $20 from Tower Hobbies. I used one on my first aerobatic plane with two elevator servos.

As long as there are humans involved in anything, there's going to be conflict. We have a very small club, about 40 members and there are a couple guys that if they are at the field or a meeting at...

RE: How Did You Learn To Fly R/C

There was a bunch of us kids in the late 50s that flew u control which consisted of flying wings and profile planes. They were easy to build and then fly and crash. Then I got into contest free...

Thanks JWN. I have checked with my credit card company and the charge is on my account. The problem I see brewing is that ARF Pros went to PayPal which deposits the money quickly and then passes the...

ARF Pros in the Tank?

I think I just got scamed. I was deciding whether or not to order the Gen II Electric Retracts for the 74" Corsair from ARF Pros. I checked their website and the item was noted "Out of Stock" so I...

RE: Piper Pawnee 40 Tail Wheel Recommendations from other modelers with Included Photos

It was definitely designed for good stable flight under heavy loads which makes the model a great Sunday flyer. When the nerves get frazzled, fly the Pawnee..................

RE: Piper Pawnee 40 Tail Wheel Recommendations from other modelers with Included Photos

Seems a shame that Hanger didn't put better quality gear on such a nice plane. I've always wondered about the tiny tail wheel but mine has held up so far. We fly off of a paved runway so that is the...

RE: ESM 74 Corsair engine choice

Aghost.......thanks for the maiden flight tip. I had decided not to retract the gear (just in case) but the short flight to keep the fuel tank fuller is a good idea as well. We had a guy in our club...

RE: ESM 74 Corsair engine choice

Boy, a picture does say a thousand words. I guess I missed the cowl ring tip. What a pain messing with that thing. I guess it's a good idea to hide the mounting screws but when you use gas engines,...

RE: What plane do i start with?

You got some good advice on a starter electric/foam plane. I would only caution you on lofting a GoPro camera in the air as a fairly new R.C. pilot. Couple of guys in our club have used a little and...

RE: ESM 74 Corsair engine choice

RE: ESM 74 Corsair engine choice

You're going to gain significantly on the C.G. balancing issue. I'm not sure what the difference is between the 30cc and the 55cc but it will help lessen the amount of ballast needed to balance....

Thanks for the info Brian. I feel better. Another question about heavier planes, do you notice a difference when you fly your plane in hot weather when the air is much thinner than this time of year?

OK, the weather has turned really bad for what looks like the next five to seven days so I'm sitting here "thinking". Maybe that's bad but I weighed my Corsair today for the first time. 18 lbs....
