I cannot afford the O.S. at the moment and I have a lot of things in the pipeline which I need to buy but financial constraints are there. Thank GOD for having a job. I'm also fixing to move back to Cypress area this March 2011. I have been pretty satisfied with Magnum, ASP is also made by Magnum that is what I'd come to know thru you guys. I wanted to try JBA they are blue colored Chinese engine. ASP .52 2 Stroke I had to pay $62 with free shipping, I think that's a great deal.
Now I gotta wait for the plane which I wanna get Yak of Nitro planes. I've not come across sales of Magnum or ASP, but I'd keep looking. I purchased it thru hobbypartz.com own Nitroplanes as well. They have good price servos as well.
But, I'm getting in there, my big goal is to get Futaba or Hitec's 6 or 7 channel 2.4 Ghz
which I'm desperately waiting to get one.
Ed Moorman's lessons are available on internet?
I'm on a very small fixed income so I can't afford much of anything myself. I build from plans and do a lot of trading to get what I need so I understand. One engine I have used thank's to ED, is the SK engines sold through Kangke/Super Craft but I have only used there .91 so can't say anything good or bad about the other sizes of engines. The smaller ones are a bit different from the .91 in design. Every holiday Hobby People has a sale and the Magnums come up all the time. Usually one four stroke and one two stroke, that could be something to keep an eye open for. I signed up and get there sales flier. I buy my fuel from them when it comes up.
When RC Report closed there doors as a magazine it went to an on line magazine. It still has most of it's writers on staff so it is still a good one. Just do a google.
As to your throttle setting just start using it more and see how you like it. I fly with one fellow that I always teased about it. He was a WOT guy for years. This year he finally figured it out this last year and is a much smoother pilot. He also has great eye sight!! He will fly so far out I can't see his planes. He has no trouble at all seeing them.
