RE: JR 9303

I have currently or have used dozens of the ScanSelect rxs. Never had a single glitch yet. I could certainly see one bad receiver but I wonder if you may have an intermittent problem with tx...

RE: Looking for interest in winch product

Sounds interesting. I would think that this would take a little getting used to for guys that have winched for a long time. If the cost was not too expensive I would be interested in one just to...

RE: how much flight time of a discus launch

Maybe something like a Skeeter or Climaxx? I have a friend that them and has excellent flights with them. Both are kits or can be built from plans. There are a lot of cheap kits and plans out there.

RE: how much flight time of a discus launch

Yep, I resisted the DLG urge for years. I confess, I was a wingspan snob, had to have more wing area and thought the "tiny" gliders would not interest me. A buddy talked me into getting one and I...

RE: how much flight time of a discus launch

Longest DLG flight so far is about 28 minutes. I only started DLGs about 3 weeks ago though I have flown RC sailplanes since the late 70's. Model was a Photon II.

RE: Towing gliders to altitude, risky?

RE: JR 10X internal fuse

No. I build my own packs. What I at first suspected was that I plugged the battery in with the Tx switch on or I plugged it in wrong. I don't use the plastic case since I run Lipos and 2000...

RE: JR 10X internal fuse

I accidently popped the fuse on my 10X. I know what I did, dumb mistake, but this is the second (and last hopefully) time I did this in the past month. I have replaced this fuse in the old X347 but...

RE: can someone recognize this aircraft

I and a friend built a Long-Eze, starting in 1981 and finished around 1989. The nose down parking served several purposes. Mainly, as mentioned is the tendency to fall back without pilot weight. ...
