RE: Ultra Stick 60 vs Big Stik 60

Oldtyme,

are right it does teach you a lot. I got out...

RE: E-flite Hawker Sea Fury 400 ARF

Hi Jon,

No haven't heard of anyone doing that, the covering. I've flown mine four times, and it is still together. You might toughen up
the wing tips with a little epoxy glue, just make sure...

RE: E-flite Hawker Sea Fury 400 ARF

RE: E-flite Hawker Sea Fury 400 ARF

If you buy the Eflite motor it will come with the mount. You just bolt it on. However, if you use the 480 1020kv, you have to cut some
off the end of the stick mount. That's so the prop won't...

RE: E-flite Hawker Sea Fury 400 ARF

If you have flown 4 channel planes and are efficient, there's no reason why you can't fly the Eflite Sea Fury. I think you owe it to yourself
to get one, so you can give us all some feedback. The...

RE: E-flite Hawker Sea Fury 400 ARF

The stick mount came loose on my Sea Fury after the second flight. Nose overs on landing in tall grass did not help. Eflite's directions to put one

RE: E-flite Hawker Sea Fury 400 ARF

I knolw what you mean about the quality of the foam. And, the Sea Fury is no different. It's just styrofoam. I have broke off small parts of the wing tip
