RE: prop nut wont release

RE: Solo.... Finally

Congrats shokshi. It's really nice to be able to go the the field anytime and fly, even if a instructor might not be there. Still lots more fun when the whole crowd is there though:)

A ponderans;) Where are all the women?

What is it about rc that seems to make it a 98% male hobby? I really wonder. I know at my field I have yet to see a female flyer. Why is this? There's nothing in it that I can see that lends it...

RE: Crosswind Landings - Crab or side slip??

Um... that's not how full scale operate. In full scale the rudder is controlled by foot pedals and the ailerons by the yoke. IMHO coupling the rudder to the ailerons in that manner is a bad idea.

RE: No more buddy box for me

RE: Does nitro fuel evaporate ?
