RE: Annoying people at the field.

It is good that you are humble and helpful... the good Book says not to argue with a fool, for a by-stander can't tell the difference (in so many words)... you're doing good, let them be the way they...

RE: Twin Cylinder Experts:

Sure appreciate the link... didn't realize the engine came with the wires, but even with that it had no plug for the glow charger to attach to. Thanks much and happy landings!

RE: Remote Needle Valve vs. Front Needle Valve

I believe, that with these other's opinions, the main reason for rear, or even remote needle valves, is the engine mounting configuration. In my case, to avoid unneccessary butchering of the sweet...

RE: Tech question on fuse build.

Exactly right. Be sure to epoxy those blind nuts in as well. There's nothing more aggravating than to accidently push one back into a finished fuselage!

RE: 4* Sixty question

You should be fine with the servo the way it is, and the control horn. Since the servo is mounted in the underside of the wing, your actual horn tavel will be 20 degrees forward, from 0... and 30...

RE: First Scratch Design and Build

RE: 3 CH Simple Scratch built trainer ! HELP
