RE: Help with Sig Sukhoi

Thanks for the info, David! I figured it was fine to try a little back, but I wanted to either see it in print or hear from someone with experience. I didn't want to risk my new DA50's life for a...

Wander how I missed the darn ano'd tubes at TNT? Cutting down the 48" tube is just the ticket, thanks for tips! I think an anodized tube will be better than carbon for this plane on account of the...

RE: XCELL GASSER TWITCHY TAIL

There's a good chance it's a motor tuning issue. You want to make sure you're not lean during break-in (or ever for that matter), but you don't want to be excessively rich. You will notice a small...
