RE: CG for the Nitroplanes (CMPro) Katana 120v2

Hey guys, I "nosed into" your thread looking for the same elusive CG for this aircraft. I bought mine from a fellow modeler and assumed I could get a decent manual from the manufacturer. What a...

RE: Light-Weight Paint Over Nitrate Dope

I looked into the colored silk and this must be the way to go. I can add any details with the light weight paint. Thanks for your help.

Light-Weight Paint Over Nitrate Dope

I'm scratch-building a Playboy old-timer that will be RC rather than the original free-flight. I'm using electric power and will cover the model with silk-span and nitrate dope. I'm told most...

RE: EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ELECTRIC FLIGHT

Thanks all. I'll do exactly that. The ESC will be in the tail next to the ducted fan motor (in the airstream for cooling purposes) and I'll lengthen the battery leads just enough to get the battery...

So far, no response from Great Planes Electrifly on the length of the leads from the ESC to the motor. I did find this statement in the ESC manual:

I'm building a ducted fan model and need to extend the leads (12-14 inches) from the 45 amp ESC (Electrifly) to the Ammo in-runner motor driving the fan. (24-45-3790kV) constant current = 25A,...

This discussion is very informative and I thank all for your inputs. I see that in pattern more emphasis is on pilot skills than any particular airframe (in sportsman at least.) I know quite a bit...

RE: New TF Sea Fury!!

G'Day, I'm just planning my Sea Fury but expect it to be much like yours - glassed with the RCV 120-SP. I'd like to use the four blade prop (albeit inefficient) and the 4" spinner. I'll have a...

RE: Don't Answer Cell Phone While Flying!

The cell phone is not to blame for airplane crashes-it's the R/C pilot who thinks he/she can talk on the phone while flying. These are the same people who run red lights, wander over to other lanes,...

It has been my experience that vertical flight, when going down, is always stopped by the ground.

RE: Suggestion for moderators

Hey Dick! You must be an F4 pilot. That plane proves that if you got enough thrust and have a large, government-sized reserve of JP4, a rock will fly.
