RE: Spa3D Video.Have you seen this guy's!

RE: Delta Wing TT 07

What about this one designed by Booger boy. There was a thread about it somewhere.

RE: Debonair CG Question

I notice you have a wooden prop fitted. Try a plastic one. They are heavier - maybe heavy enough to move the weight forewards 1/4 inch or so and they are slightly more crash resistant. That plus an...

RE: cutting gutterpipe

I use a hack saw - metal cutting blade for large cuts. Would try band saw / scroll saw if I had one. A jig saw is even harder to keep straight and tends to jam. A bench saw smashes the gutter pipe...

RE: how do you clean your spad's?

All above work great for a daily cleaning but over a period of months a hard almost laqer like layer builds up and dirt and dust gets trapped on / under it. The only colour of coro I can get is white...

RE: GNAT QUESTION

Is the third channel (for the throttle) proportional or just on / off? If the latter then its only any good for gliding and electric flight.

RE: Spadet question??

Shawn,
If you are a beginner 1/2" each way should be fine to start although if you built it as a tail dragger you might want to up it towards 3/4" or 7/8" to give a little more ground control. Once...

RE: Free Coroplast?

Whilst $18-$20 isn't cheap its not so bad either. bear in mind that an 8 x 4 sheet is goina be enough to make 3 or 4 planes. Now, $5 per plane isn't so bad?

RE: 11 x 7 prop

Yes an 11 x 7 is way too much for an os 40 LA. It would be more suited to a 46 or even a 53 BB motor and will probably overheat the motor. Even with the bigger BB engine it is far from an ideal prop...

Waha! SPAD is good!

Looks tails heavy to me. Should fly better if you can move the flight battery forward an inch or 2.
