RE: Carbon fibre/tape questions - how to lighten foam wings.

What give a wing strength is the spar not the foam. The foam basically adds shape and stabilizes the spar. The sheeting ties the whole wing together to give it strength. Is the wing one piece or in...

RE: Powerbox 40/24 1 receiver or 2

Mike,

Powerbox 40/24 1 receiver or 2

I am considering using the duralite version in my 50% scale plane. Has anyone used this with 2 receivers. Most of the literature I have read only uses 1 receiver. Any feedback is appreciated.

RE: can i trust hitech 700 servos on D.P edge? - please help

I would agree the 5645 or 5945 would be a much better choice than the 700. The 700 is a 1/4 scale servo that would probably be better suited for a scale model like a cub.
You want to keep the...
