Servo compatibility with older 72mhz rx

I thought this might be easy to find already in the forums, but I'm having no luck - my apologies if I've just missed it somehow.

My daughter wants to try RC e-powered flying, so I thought we...

That reminds me; I should have added that, in my experience, many folks that move out to a rural area may do so in part to enjoy quieter surroundings, and may not take kindly to some of the noisier...

Acreage considerations

I concur that most powered flying needs about 2000' side-to-side. While I'm sure 500' is adequate depth, I think a bit more, say 700-800', would be noticeably more comfortable in many instances...

I don't know the model or maker, but the style looks older (even if the actual plane isn't); reminiscent of designs from 15-20 years ago. I will suggest, based on the apparent thickness of the...

Don't worry about the plane, just enjoy the hobby

Rapid13,

In my opinion, you've gone about this the right way. You've started by building your own trainer (good approach, good choice of plane), and then you've asked the community for some...

Red face Decision Time

With respect to a thermal ship ('cause you guys almost got me sidetracked into DLG already), I'd been looking for a good, light wind, <$1000 model, and it came down to this short list:

I have no experience with the model; I just wanted to say that it's too bad that one of the best places in the world for full-sized gliders (I'm thinking down around Marfa though), is too windy for...

Yep, it didn't take much more than a bit of reading, a bit of study, and a few videos; DLG looks like a LOT of fun! Thank-you! Now if I can just come up with $$ for the Armsoar Aerial. ;)

A lot to consider, and even more to learn.

Of course, some of the unknowns in choosing a model to purchase (as opposed to scratch-building), occur when the manufacturer uses a modified foil (especially if they've blended that foil several...

Sold on FrSky Taranis X9D+

So I bit the bullet today and ordered a FrSky Taranis X9D+. I'm feeling a bit like a kid in a candy shop; really looking forward to this radio.

I've noticed that there are seldom foil or loading specs for foamies/park flyers/BNFs. Considering that these are specs that are quite important to have (at least for me, and people I...

Thanks Allen!

Overall, would you recommend this radio for a glider pilot?

I'm curious Allen, which Taranis model you have? Could you make use of stick-on rubber feet to address the tippy base?...

FrSky Taranis
