RE: Hobbico Superstar EP convert to gas ?

fw190pilot - upload pictures NOT from "Fast Reply", but using "Post Reply" button.

RE: PARKZONE SUPER DECATHLON

4CH RTF - Look at Wattage Corsair. Has 4CH Transmitter. I wonder if it can be modified with 1 more Servo and a little less dihedral. Not sure if the battery/motor/ESC is sufficient for this extra...

RE: Help!!! - Crashing on takeoff and cleaning the mess

I unintentionally try to teach the plane to float without enough speed. The good thing about this plane is that it crashed a few times and nothing happened - this is made of Coka-Cola type plastic,...

RE: Help!!! - Crashing on takeoff and cleaning the mess

The only thing it has enough is power. I wonder whether landing at 1/5 throttle will soften the landing. Since the landing speed, which is a little too high, is determined by wing loading (and...

Are you retired/unemployed/kids?

I don't get it. I got back to the hobby 2 years ago and I am obsessed. Still, I don't see how, with a family (wife+kid(s)+dog(s)+mortgage) and a 50+ hr American average work week you can build more...

1/8A Speed plane

Has anyone ever built a 1/8A speed plane (around a Cox .010)? Sounds like a fun project.

RE: Running in of an old engine

So what is an OS FSR - an ABN, ABC or something else?
BTW I did run in the LA25 (ABN) the wrong, rich, way. Are the implications just short termed or should I expect a short engine life?
