RE: where to put after run oil?

On a Saito, you'll want to squirt some into the crankcase vent tube. I also get oriented as to where the exhaust cycle is, and also squirt some into the muffler at a position where it'll run into...

RE: why is my muffler tarnish after only 3 flights

RWright has the right idea here. I've used the Dawn Power Dissolver (cold) direct from the grocery store on all my 4C engine mufflers and it cleans them beautifully. This stuff works well on all...

RE: small vs large plane

Jeff:
If you REALLY want a small one, and lots of fun, get a Herr Cloud Ranger. I'll tell you, it's an .049-.061 size, but I've put a .15 Thundertiger on it and it is a real handful! I chose the...

RE: Pusher Propeller

Scratch, thanx for your opinion. It would seem to be true, but I just wondered whether the configuration was a little bit different.

RE: Pusher Propeller

Ed:

In my example, flipping the prop is done on the motor shaft so the airfoil is facing the nose of the plane (installing the prop backward on the shaft). I failed to mention I'm using it on a...

RE: Balsa Hardener? (prevent dents/dings in softer basla)

I've found on some small areas, that thin CA will harden balsa. I'd imagine depositing a small amount of CA over the balsa surface by using a tiny applicator attached to the CA bottle outlet (I...

Pusher Propeller

I think this is probably a pretty basic question here, and have decided to post it here at this section, since I can't logically find another place for it:

I'm sure this isn't the first time someone brought up this subject, but it's new to me, so I'll ask:

RE: To Build or Not To Build; That is the Question.

Yeah, Charlie. With "ugly" you have a point there.
I had a question with the G.P. Easy Sport 40, which comes as an ARF or a kit. Which should I do? Build the kit which cost $40 less or simply...

25 Size biplane kit?

Maybe someone could tell me if somewhere out there, there's a biplane kit made for this size engine. The only kits I've found for WWI planes for example, are sizes 1.25 and larger. Even if I could...

RE: When do I recharge LiPo's?

Thanx, Chocks. I usually like to charge my LiPo's as soon as it's convenient, so like you say, they'll be ready for the next time. But I won't concern myself about ruining the battery if I forget...

When do I recharge LiPo's?

Is it harmful to store a LiPo when it has been discharged to the normal low level (by using it in flight), for a day or more, or should you recharge it as soon as you are able? What's a good...

3-cell, fully charged = 12.6 V or 4.2V per cell

3-cell, maximum discharged = 11.1V or 3.7V per...

RE: Glider choices?

Thanx for your feedback, guys. Yes, I guess you're right, I was flying it out of it's element. Gliders are for gliding, NOT aerobatics. I just thought it could take a loop, but it WAS under power,...
