RE: Extra 300 landings

ob1:

I recently received my pilot's license. One of the big points my instructor pounded into me reminds me of what it sounds like your planes have been doing. We nicknamed it the "SSD",...

RE: GP Lancair Build tips

SDCrashmaster- Great job on your New Spirit. I hope to order a Lancair & OS FS91 next week.
I've got a question: I'd love to be able to make a scoop like yours (but don't want to spend the $$ on...

RE: Jack Stafford Models

When I was a kid and visiting a LHS with my mom, I would drool at a biplane hanging from the ceiling. When I grew up and got into r/c flying, and visit the same shop, I would still look up at it...

RE: glow fuel shelf life?

My LHS owner told me the other day that he's used 12 year old glow fuel before with no problems. It had never been opened until he used it. He added that once you've opened a jug, it won't keep as...

RE: How do I put an OS61FX on GP Extra 40 ARF

With this engine in this plane, has anybody had to cut a hole in the side of the cowl for the top of the engine to stick out? It looks close to me. I'm guessing that it's no good for the top of the...

RE: How do I put an OS61FX on GP Extra 40 ARF

Thanks for the great comments and tips.
I've read where the fork elevator pushrod doesn't work well, and I've thought about putting servos in the tail. However, with my limited experience, I'm...

How do I put an OS61FX on GP Extra 40 ARF

I just bought a Great Planes Extra 300S ARF 40. I'd like to put an OS61FX on it. I haven't looked at the engine mount, however this ARF has pre-drilled holes with steel threads in the firewall for...

Cloud Dancer 40 or 60

Thanks for the good advice. We too have a grass field, and my landings need more work. They're more closer to slime than grease. I've been told to forget the wheel pants on any aircraft, because...

Cloud Dancer 40 or 60

SwampFlier,
Thanks for the info. Have you had any problems with the gear since it's mouted on the wings (either control problems or weakness, or both)? I've heard that's it's a good idea to mount...

Hobbico SuperStar 40 Select RTF 60"

No need to apologize! I misread what I type half the time, let alone what anybody else types.

Someone told me that the Sig's are harder to fly in windy weather, as opposed to other planes. This...

Hobbico SuperStar 40 Select RTF 60"

I guess. With several landings in the tall brush, high grass, and a couple of flip-over crashes, I've only had to go back to the shop for repairs just once. I've had to replace a prop at the field,...

I'm looking to get a 2nd plane, and the Cloud Dancer ARF has been suggested to me. I currently fly a Hobbico Superstar 40. I'm looking to buy a 6 channel radio and a new engine for the CD, as...

Hobbico SuperStar 40 Select RTF 60"

I've had pretty good luck with the nose gear and the plane as a whole. The other day, I stalled it on final approach right above the runway way and nosed it in from about 12' up. I know better...

Cheap and easy in air ??

I own a Hobbico Superstar 40 Select RTF. Hobbico sells this plane as an ARF, and as the Select RTF. I bought mine for $300 USD (1,895.70 DKK, but they're a little cheaper now online). All you have...

Hobbico SuperStar 40 Select RTF 60"

I have one of these, and I love it. My dad also got one shortly after I did. Dad's plane had wrinkles in the covering, which we easily fixed with a hobby iron. I've read where the company is...
