RE: Stick kits

Try doing a search on RCU for Doghouse, or Doghouse Extreme. It looks like a stick. Not sure who kits it though. Also, you can occasionally find old stick kits for sale. I bought an old Midwest...

RE: BTE Venture 60

I am building a Venture 60 right now and I've got a Saito 80 that I plan to use with it. The Saito 82 wasn't on the market when I bought my 80, so if I had to do it all over again, I'd probably go...

RE: Venture 60 wing

Thanks for all the tips. This has been a great kit to build so far, and any problems I've run into have been pretty minor. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a relatively easy build.

RE: Venture 60 wing

Thanks for the input guys. I figured it wouldn't be a problem, but wanted to make sure. JNorton, I may have to borrow your backstop idea on my next kit.

Venture 60 wing

I didn't have any problems building the wing halves for my Venture 60, but when I joined the wing halves together and laid the completed wing over the plans, one of the wing halves has a small degree...

RE: 42" Boxxer Where is the vid?

Would the Boxxer make a good first profile plane? I was thinking about building the Katana P until I saw this. For background, I'm working on my first kit right now (a Venture 60), which is only...

RE: 40 or 60 size kit to build

What about a bipe? An Ultimate is probably the closest thing you'll get to 3D in a bipe, but I think there are plenty of mfg's still kitting them.

RE: BTE Venture 60 build has Commenced!

Looks very nice Jim T and Swager. I'm in the process of framing up the wing halves on my Venture. I guess I'm a pretty slow builder, since I started in September. Never can find enough...

RE: 2nd Plane - Some sort of Stik

You might check out the Hangar 9 Ulta Stik (or is it Stick?). It comes in various sizes (40, 60, 120) and colors and is distributed online by Horizon Hobbies. Another popular "second plane" is the...

RE: My Modified Venture 60 more pics

That's probably the one of the best looking V60's I've seen. I hope to start mine in the next few weeks - it will be my first kit. I'll be using a Saito 80 as well, so keep us posted on how it...

RE: Covering Videos

Hey Minn,

Would you use the same covering techniques for ultracoat? (I noticed that you were working with Monocoat in the video.)

RE: Venture 60 and YS 63

I'm jealous. I haven't started building my Venture 60 because I am in the process of a big move. Anyway, I've got a Saito 80 to go in the nose of mine. 6lbs 10oz sounds pretty light - I doubt...

RE: Need a cheap, throw around ARF: Impossible?

How about the Lanier Extreme Stick ARF? Go to Lanier's website - looks like you can get one for $99 (free shipping) direct from the manufacturer.

I just bought mine from Tower last week. I went with the 4 standard servos instead of the digis. I can't wait to get it. I think it will be popular with people like me who want to step up to a...
