Doug gets my $$

I decided to take my MM tantrum out this afternoon. I fly the first battery, and everything is great. I am working on my flat spins, hammerhead stalls and a bunch of other tricks. After a few...

RE: IM CONFUSED ( AS ALWAYS )

Alan,
You have some good questions. Hopefully, this will be of help.

1. Regarding the speed controller, these are rated in terms of the amps that they will accomodate. They range from 2 to...

John and Airborne,
Thank you very much for the help. The pic. was very helpful. I am glad to hear that it is a reliable system. It is a new plane for me, and I want the maiden to go well. ...

I am building the MM Tantrum, and I am stuck. I can't figure out how the pull-pull system that operates the elevator works. The manual doesn't have a picture of the system, and I am lost as to how...

RE: Goldberg Eagle & Tiger Park flyers

I have seen the Goldberg Eagle fly a number of times. Two guys at the local flying field own them. They seem to be built well enough, but they are also underpowered with the stock 600. They are...

RE: parkzone vs. mountain models

I would also highly recommend the Switcback. It is, by far, the best plane that I own. It is stable yet does great aerobatics. If I have an unexpected encounter with the ground, I can always buy...

RE: A brush with the law!

RcSumo,

We fly in Ranch San Rafael park, right next to the University of Nevada. There are about 30+ guys who fly there most every weekend. People mostly fly Zagis, but there are a variety of...

RE: A brush with the law!

Great job! I fly with a group that has formed a pretty amicable relationship with the park guys but in an interesting way. We noticed that the number of dogs in the park is very high and so found a...

RE: Need Advice on plane..

Novaflier,
I would also check out the planes on Mountain models. The Dandy or the Switchback would be excellent choices. Search around on this site and you will see how many people love these...

RE: Formosa or Switchback?

RoneDogg
I have the switchback and couldn't be happier with it. It was easy to build and flies beautifully. However, it is a small underwing plane that can be touchy to fly and land. It's...

RE: Which sport model?

I second the vote for the Switchback. I own one and it is excellent. You have to build it, but it isn't difficult.

RE: Zagi Aerobatics Setup

I second Ricktkenny's suggestion. I fly with that exact same setup on my Zagi, and it is great.

RE: is the zagi a park flyer

I learned to fly on a zagi, but flew it in a fairly good sized park. With a 400 or 480, you could probably fly it in baseball field. With brushless motor, you will want a significantly bigger...

RE: Aaahhhh...why is the power cutting off in flight???

I had the same problem with my first zagi. The thing would cut out after about a minute of flight but run fine when I had a friend hold it for a field test. The problem was a faulty speed...

Balsa v. Styrofoam planes

I recently bought and began flying a Switchback from Mountain Models. I have flown a zagi for a little more than a year. Until the Switchback bug bit me, I didn't think that I would fly anything...

RE: Bringing Planes on Planes....Security?

WindBreaker,
I recently got the urge to take a trip with my Zagi. I mailed it to my destination and brought all of the radio gear on board. The authorities didn't say much except, "So, are you...

RE: landing the switchback

Flying in the Tahoe area sounds like fun. Where do you fly? In Reno, we have two parks that are pretty good. It would be great to hook up with a fellow switchback pilot.

RE: landing the switchback

I bring it in on a fairly long approach with the power off. I keep it level and try to flair the nose up just before touching down. The problem is that the plane stalls and I can't bring the nose...

RE: landing the switchback

I am flying the Switchback sport model. I haven't checked the weight, but that is a good idea. Also, I read that it is sometimes a good idea to move the CG a little forward in order to prevent...

RE: landing the switchback

Thanks for the many responses. I am used to flying a zagi with a brushless motor. I find that I have to kill the power and let it glide for about 25 yards on the approach before touching down. ...

I am in the process of covering my switchback from Mountain Models. The kit includes a light clear film, but I am wondering about using Econocote instead. I plan to fly it with the recommended GWS...
