RE: SuperTigre G90 in 60 Stik Problems

It might be too lean. Have you tried holding the plane with its nose straight up and giving it full throttle? (You should have a friend help as a 60 is pretty powerful and you shouldn't try to hold...

RE: SuperTigre G90 in 60 Stik Problems

IMO there are two characteristics of Super Tigres that can cause symptoms such as yours. The first is that they seem to take a long time to break in, perhaps due to the nature of the rings versus the...

RE: Bent Motor shaft

How badly is it bent and what sort of tools are available to you? If the shaft is only slightly "tweaked" and you have a means to rotate it about a fixed axis (such as by chucking it into a lathe or...

RE: aileron question

RCKen is absolutely on target about setting things up correctly mechanically. The computer functions on the radio are, IMO, aids and not substitutes for inattention to details or sloppy flying...

RE: aileron question

You can either use a "Y" and run the ailerons off a single channel, or plug each aileron servo into its own channel (usually channel 1 and channel 6). The advantage of using separate channels is...

RE: Transmitter battery substitution

Thanks for the quick response. It is the same size and shape. The Hobbico voltmeter tests fine on it. I will cycle it and check its capacity, but from the responses I'm pretty sure it will work, and...

Transmitter battery substitution

The Futaba NT-8JY battery in the transmitter I regularly use (a 6AX) is worn out. I have a Skysport transmitter that I used when I first got into the hobby four years ago. It came with a Sanyo...

RE: K&B engines

I have an old K&B 45 that came with a used plane. It was totally gummed up when I got it, but a solvent soak was all it took to get it running. Parts are readily available, and while a bit crude in...

RE: Hobbico TorqMaster 90 starter

Assuming it isn't hydrolocked here's my opinion...I have had little success with "hobby store" batteries. While I can generally start my 46AX with them (I use a Sullivan Hi Torque starter) anything...

RE: Can a simulator truly teach you how to fly?

IMO it is a supplement to, and not a replacement for, competent instruction with a trainer
I did not purchase a sim until after I soloed as I was afraid of the lack of pucker factor, developing bad...

RE: cleaning engines

RE: How Do I Stop Shaking

I have raced vintage sports cars for many years. I still get nervous sitting on the grid, but I have developed techniques that do help me and might be of value to you:

RE: OS .61FX Prop size.

Tater1's response brings up a good point...APC props are more efficient than, say, Master Airscrew. They are also a lot sharper and won't take anywhere near the abuse. For me they are also harder to...

RE: Parkzone Corsair or T-28 D?

While there are a few of the Corsairs many more have the T28(I assume you mean the foam ones similar to the T28). I haven't bought one yet but have flown a couple and they are just plain wonderful....

RE: Good first biplane?

If you are willing to build a kit rather than an ARF, I recommend the SIG Hog. It is basically the low wing Astro Hog with the lower wing shortened a bit and an upper wing with no dihedral added. Of...

RE: The Tiger 2 flies

As you gain experience you will come to love the Tiger. Notice that it sits slightly "nose down." Not sure if this contributes, but the World T34 also sits like this...and both planes land and simply...

RE: progression from trainer to low wing

I started with a Goldberg Eagle and then a SIG LT40 before moving to a low wing plane. I then flew both the Sig Four Star 40 and the Goldberg Tiger 2. I like the Tiger much better than I did the Sig....

RE: Tiger 2 CG help

I balance mine right on the main wing spar. I use the OS 46AX motor with a prop nut rather than a spinner. With this balance point the plane is quite stable and will fly inverted with almost no...

RE: Super tiger .61?

The 61 is a solid performer. I think it is the best overall of the three common St models (45, 61, 90), all of which seem to share the same carb. The carb appears to have been designed for this...

RE: trying to tune a older Super Tigre 61

I have had similar symptoms with my ST 90. According to one of our more experienced members (who has been flying pattern for 30+ years) this is a common characteristic of ST. IMO it is because they...

RE: My Super Tigre G-75

One of the issues with the Super Tigre line is they seem to use the same carb and needles for at least two engines, and I suspect yours as well. The 61 and 90 use exactly the same needles, for...
