Okay, I've got a .60 sized P-51 that I'm building and putting a Saito 1.25 in and I'm looking to put a 4-bladed prop on there so that it'll look 'right'. Any ideas what size I should go with? I've...

RE: Hangar9 P-51 PTS: Expiration Date 2/22/07

Just whatever you decide to do, don't replace it with the GP Super Stearman at Hobby Haven... I got dibs on that one if the IRS ever sends me my money. :D

Personally, I'd go for the Tribute. ...

RE: Aeroworks 46-61 Edge 540T

I used to have one of these. Balanced perfectly with an OS .61FX in it. If you're planning on putting a .91 or 1.20 four-stroke in it, I'd suggest finding a bigger fuel tank.

There were some...

Need a good Bipe ARF.

I'm thinking I'd like to give a biplane a try next and I'm looking for a decent ARF or RTC. I like the looks of the Super Stearman and the Waco. I've seen the Great Planes Super Stearman and like...

Couple videos of my Seagull Edge 540

These were done by a friend of mine that has a budding interest in photography/video. He's getting better at tracking the plane around. :)

RE: Best looking fighter ?

YF-12, even if it never exactly made it into service.

For those that don't know, it's the plane that eventually became the SR-71. It was originally designed as a high-speed interceptor, not a...

How to make a career out of it?

So I've decided I'm getting sick of IT and want a change of scenery. IT was always my second choice anyway. I've wanted to fly planes ever since I was little. I'm 28 now, so it's not too late. I...

Heh... A friend of mine that I go flying with has another old trainer that we call our high wind plane. We don't usually take it up until the wind speeds reach at least 25-30mph. It's a riot to...

My trainer scares me.

So, I've been flying about 18 months now. Used a taildragger Mid-star for a trainer and 3 months later was hanging a .90 sized Edge on it's prop. Well, long story short, I happened across a...

RE: Is a big crash overdue?

It's simple. If you push the envelope, the envelope will push back.

I never had a crash until I took up 3D, then I knew it was only a matter of time, and sure enough, I planted my first Edge.

RE: Seagull Edge 540 - 68" (60-90) ARF New v2- Building

I've also got this plane and love it. I'm flying mine with a Saito 125, Futaba 6EXA and the S3004s that came with it, but on a 6v 1400mAH battery. I wouldn't suggest it. The torque is fine, but...
