...and that's why I'm on a forum instead of trying it alone in my basement. Thanks for that tidbit. I thought it was just any old dsm2 rx that worked with bnf. I'll just buy a spektrum rx for the spektrum radio. Since I already bought the airframe I'm going to keep working on that but I'm also getting aeajr's suggestion for my dad, who doesn't know farts from rainbows regarding R/C. Any more god-sent comments? So far everyone has been really helpful.

Also: just wrecked my first plane. (ignorance lead me to buy this 3D plane)It's been fine so far but I clinched and nosed it straight into the wall of my local gymnasium. It snapped the propshaft off inside the spinner and broke my vertical stab about 1/4" above the glue. I was thinking I would take off the remaining 1/4" of old tail with an Xacto and glue the new tail right back on. Is that sufficient? Do I need to score the graft site (like with epoxy on metal)? Is there a smarter way to remove the glue? (Yes, the glue I have is foam-safe CA). Is there a specific foam-safe sacrifice I must make to the eR/C god before continuing?


Many thanks!!<br type="_moz" />
