Not sure if this was a B-52, but there is some video of a pretty large plane crashing into one of the Great Lakes (I'm gonna guess around chicago) during an airshow. Anybody remember that?

RE: how to mount the mount engine that is

I built my 4*40 from a kit. When I put in the firewal, it rested against some wood on the fuse to make an easy fit, yet there is no downthrust. It was my first kit, and it was built like crap, but...

RE: LA 40/4*40

a 46FX is on mine. It flys very fast. I'm sure a 40la will make it flyable. I am usually around half-throddle the entire time anyways

RE: Where did all the kits go?

I know the uproar has permanently attached wings, does the SE also have attached wings? I use a pretty small car with folding-rear seats to haul my plane, so if they wings dont attach, i dont know if...

RE: Looking to build a 4 * 40

4* is very easily contructed. Just be careful with the wing. When i tried connecting the 2 halves, i glues it crooked, and had to get a professional to fix it. As for covering, i was worried about...

RE: questions about my Sig 4* 40

The CG should be right on the main spar of the wing. It doesnt really affect it much if it's noseheavy. I just maidened mine noseheavy and she still flies great. I believe tailheavy is where you run...

RE: Where did all the kits go?

RE: Turn towards direction of plane?

I just think that sometime you're going to have to learn to understand the plane. Turning with the plane is kind of cheating. I think it's easiest to just imagine you're in the plane.

RE: You're not a true 4-star owner until..

I told the instructor to let me handle it. He's a great guy, knows tons about planes (And proceeds to do a barrel roll out of takeoffs with people's trainers!). I trust him more than anyone at the...

RE: Bending control rods

RE: Tower Uproar Arf?
