RE: Top Flite Sea Fury in Action

Wow! Awesome build and finish job. Looks like a great flyer, too. Is it glassed and painted? How much does it weigh? And lastly, what retracts are installed? I just got my TF Sea Fury kit the other...

RE: GP Super Stearman

Has anyone tried a YS 91 FZ in this plane? It seems like this engine could provide 'scale-like' performance, and I have one sitting around.

RE: TF(top flight) Cessna 182

I started mine last January and it is ready to cover. I'll be glassing and painting it. As for the kit, I found most of the pieces and wood to be pretty good, but I'm not all that picky either. The...

Sterling PT-17 mishap

Here is my Sterling PT-17. I acquired it in about 1975 (not a typo, that's 1975!), and it was old then. It came with a Kraft 4 channel radio and a Fox 80 engine, which I never could get to run and,...

FS 90 backfire and needle valve problems

I have an older FS90 that has probably had 3-4 gallons through it. It sat for a few years and I have recently started flying it again. It ran great the first few flights, but the needle valve setting...

Routing antenna past servos and battery

In trying to balance my latest project (a GP Trainer 60 with floats) with minimal added wait, I placed the battery and servos as far back in the radio compartment as possible. The RX goes forward of...

RCV engine for Top-Flite Cessna 182

I'm considering and RCV engine for the Top-Flite Cessna 182. It seems like the 90SP is the choice with a 16X14 prop, but thought I would ask before I commit.

Thanks,
