For those that just purchased the short kit 1/3 scale from Arizona Models what was your experience? Did you receive everything? I'd like to order one but I'm afraid to order it thru Arizona Models.

Wow! Hooked...

Flew my Vanquish last night for the first time and my first electric plane of any kind also. Total blast. Floating by with just a low hum. Silent, endless, rolling circles and very precise for...

RE: Questions from first time pattern electric

When I look at the cellpro, I have an option to buy with two GP/KO adapters or TP/PQ adapters. I thought I would probably try the Thunder power batteries or maybe the Rhino's.
Do I need either...

I'm just about finished with my Vanquish 2M build which has to be one of the easiest ARF's that I've ever assembled. I used the Himax 6330 and phoenix ice 80.

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

Here's mine. Just need to put the rivets on the wing and fuselage and spray a little wash across it to age it some. It's the ARC that I converted to a C model. Sierra gear and a moki 2.1 engine. ...

RE: MOKI 2.10 help???

You don't need to flip the plane over for an inverted motor. First time you start it remove the glow plug. Put your finger over the intake and flip the prop counterclockwise until fuel runs out the...

Just an update on my 4 year old generation I 100cc yak. This fall I topped the 1000 flights on this airframe. It started out as the all white version which I added my personal design for the first...

40% four year project is done!

I never thought I'd get this plane done but I'm glad I did. First two flights were July 4th at my house. Guess what?, it flies like a Carden. Flies right to where you point it and it landed both...

Reza,

RE: Recovered generation I 102"

Reza,

I use an Ioline 301 for cutting monokote. The difference is that this cutter has a cutting tray with a double sided tape applied to it. I roll out the monokote smooth onto the tray and...

Recovered generation I 102"

Thought it was time to peel off the oil soaked covering and check the plane over for any potential failures. This is an original 1st year generation 1 with well over 500 flights. Other than a weak...

RE: Kimball-Somenzini Python Build Thread

If you're going to use two receivers, why also use a power box? Just curious as to what the advantage would be. My set up is two receivers, switches and battery packs. One receiver has upper wing...

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

RE: Kimball-Somenzini Python Build Thread

Looking at the pictures in post #512 it looks to me that the lower cowl and brackets just need to be moved up since the lower cowl is sitting below the fuselage. There may be enough room to do that...

RE: Kimball-Somenzini Python Build Thread
