RE: Cessna 177 on Floats???

Yeah the floats themselves are all the same for the Ready/beaver/cardinal. The difference in the kits is the mounting hardware that comes with each. No one seams to have the correct mounting stuff...

RE: Futaba 2.4 Gig Faast system help

I bought this TX and promptly returned it after I found it it is impossible to mix dual elevator servos (now standard on even .40 size planes). They removed the option to turn off the switches...

My best friend has the 1.50 on his and so far he's flown 10 gallons of fuel through with no visible signs of fatique - and he flys the crap out of it. Does seem like it might be a little to much...

Relax motodude... Yes you can put your ST2300 on the Funtana. You will have the following modifications. If you want a good cowl spacing, you have to move the firewall back about an inch (no bid...

RE: Funtana 90!

My best friend mounted the Saito 1.50 in his Funtana and still needed nose weight to balance the thing (but I think it was roughly only 2 oz) I should note however that he was not impressed, nor was...

RE: RE: RE: Great Planes 1/4 scale <span class=

If you want to run different voltages for servos/receiver you need to get a servo isolator. Before I tell you what it is, I must comment that 6 volts to a receiver is not a problem at all! I run it...

RE: RE: RE: Great Planes 1/4 scale <span class=

I think your ST would work great :) I wouldn't suggest using a smoke system though- weight is not your friend and ST is not a friend of light weight... Your call though. I'll tell you this, while...

Slingshot that thing looks ready to me! Forget the ballancer- it makes life more exciting not to use one- go fly! Just kidding... But do let me know how it goes.

RE: Great Planes 1/4 scale <span class=

Basinbum,
Thanks for the clarification - I thought Hulley was running the 2.10... Also - I'm not too worried about the ballance because I'm running an internal 3 ft. tuned slilencer to the rear......
