RE: Nomadio FULL Range 2.4Ghz aircraft radio

1. How about opening up your file format, so that folks can write their own programming tools?

RE: Eflite Blade CX

Hello all,
I just picked my BCX up here in NC, the last one the shop had in-stock. Now, with less than 20 mins total flight time, I'm really pleased with how stable, and how well this heli flies...

RE: Latest KMP P-38 out (09-23-05)

I was thinking about picking up the KMP P-38, to replace my VQ (sniff), and had just put my Spring-air retracts on Ebay (since the KMP comes with them).

You guys are making me rethink that.

RE: FMA Co-pilot on a Hawk Sport?

As far as I know, the FMA co-pilot works on either planks or choppers. The newer FS8 co-pilot can be fitted with a "Z-sensor" which will roll the aircraft from inverted, although I tested the...

RE: Life and death of a Lightning

Thanks for your replies, bros. I talked to a pattern flyer from the same field, he told me he lost a 1.20 sized pattern plane in the same way a few weeks earlier: the wingtip touched the high grass...

RE: ALUMINUM GIMBALS STICKS FOR EVO 9?

I've seen some pro heli pilots glue a tiny circle of sandpaper to the tips of the sticks. This provided (seems to) the precise control they demand for competition.

Life and death of a Lightning

I got the Lightning tuned up to perfection, and both Saito .82 4-cycle engines were singing from 3K to 9K RPMs on two-bladed props. The wing was straighter than an irish cop, and I double checked all...

RE: KMP-P38 Electric

Looks like a very clean set-up, I'd love to see some in-flight video. How long does it take to charge the batteries, what charger and what kind of flight time?

Thanks,

RE: Electric VQ!!

I'd love to see some close-up shots of your gear doors and door hinges. I'm having trouble figuring out how to properly hinge them, and get them to close with the retracts.

Thanks,

VQ P-38 flaps

I'm finishing up a VQ P-38 ARF, with twin Saito .82s. I'm using a Hitec Eclipse radio and have a few quick questions:

The flaps seem to me, to be kind of spongey. Will this affect landing? They...
