RE: Noob Servo Extension Question

It's a blue one. So, from what I'm reading, it doesn't matter which one I order? I just have to cut the tab off to make whichever one fit?

Noob Servo Extension Question

OK. I have to show my ignorance here. If I have an Airtronics receiver and Futaba servos, do I need to order Airtronics or Futaba servo extensions... or does it even matter? It's probably a stupid...

RE: Newbie Help for Ultrastik 40

That's a very good point about not buying an engine for every plane, and I fully agree with you. However, with this being only my second, I'll probably buy an engine for it, so I can have two planes...

RE: Newbie Help for Ultrastik 40

Oh yeah. I've got an Airtronics RDS8000 for control. I'm not sure if that makes much difference on your answers or not, but I forgot to throw that in on my original post.

RE: Noob Radio Questions

I was hoping it was that easy. So do I have to worry about getting them going in backwards? What about the switch and battery? Are they OK, too?

OK. I got my Airtronics RDS8000 in. ($195 with free shipping!!) I started to install the receiver in my cub, but it appears that the plugs on my servos don't fit into the receiver. [:@] I have...

RE: Noob Radio Questions

That's why it blew my mind when I saw it listed for $285 for a couple of days. I swear I wasn't drinking. I even have the email from Tower saying that was the price when I emailed them asking about...

RE: Noob Radio Questions

Lovely. I've been waiting on Tower Hobbies to get the RDS8000 back in stock so I can order one. (Couldn't use the discount code on backordered items.) Even though they're not going to have more...

RE: Muffler gasket

Being limited in experience with RC, I can't say how they'd perform long-term on a plane engine. However, I've used baseball card thickness cardboard home-made gaskets on cars and small engines...

RE: Noob Radio Questions

Nice writeup, Biged. That pretty much makes up my mind with which 2.4 to look at when I get ready to purchase.

RE: Noob Radio Questions

That's what I was thinking... Airtronics is a no-brainer. But then again, I have almost zero experience in this hobby. What do the Futaba 7-channel or the Spektrum 7-channel have over the...
