RE: TRACKER III SETUP QUESTIONS

RE: TRACKER III SETUP QUESTIONS

Thanks my friend. I ordered a short kit from DC hobbies. I'll have to see what the spar looks like once I get it and examine the plans. Odds are I'll use Bob Vixie's techniques at the very least....

RE: TG-3 Flight Problems

Thank you everyone for your advice. Good to know others have had some similar problems. I am not saying the plane is bad, just my skill at building a foamy, flying it, or both, are not up to snuff....

New to RC Helicopters, Which radio would you recommend buying?
