RE: Sig Rascal Nightmare!

You're right! I am impatient and who could blame me forwhatever reason my name is treated like a virus?

RE: Depressed!

Hey thanks for the reassurance. I was actually thinking of doing that. I'm going to take a close look at the spars and such. If all is not too bad I may just keep going. I'll post the results.

The wood in the kit, being in the attic so long, has become so warped that after building the fuselage, it is obvious that the glider will fly nothing but circles, if that. In the...

RE: GP Spirit Spoilers

Is there enough stress on landing using the spoilers to pull the servo off the tape? It's not really a control surface used in hi g's.

Kits for .049 or .09

I have a black widow .049 and .09 engine with throttle that have been kicking around for years.
Does anyone know of any RC kits suitable for these, or perhaps even SPADS?

Thanks
