RE: Old OS 91 surpass FS needle problem

Thanks! That's what I needed to know. I'll see if the cost of doing that and replacing the bearings, which are a bit rough, is justified...or if a new engine is in order instead.

Old OS 91 surpass FS needle problem

I have a 91 surpass I've used for years and have had to slowly keep leaning the high speed needle. It's now at the point it runs a tad rich with the needle all the way in. I've read where other...

Storing fuel ? how long?

A month won't make one bit of difference. I've had fuel stored for 4 or 5 years and it was still perfectly good. Just make sure it's not subjected to extreme heat or cold, kept tightly capped, and...

Servo trim adjusting

It might work, up to a point, but it's not really necessary. There's really not that big a rush to start trimming the plane after lift off. It's not usually that hard to hold the needed trim in...

Would you want to see more, less, same construction detail in RCU Magazine Reviews?

I'd like to see prices included in the specs. Maybe some do, but the reviews I've read didn't mention any prices. I know they vary, but an inclusion of retail and average street price would be...

Whats the stupidest mistake you've ever made while building?

Thanks everyone.... I found it. RCU is doing a great job! It is really a Godsend for those fliers out in the areas which lack clubs and fellow fliers. It's like belonging to the biggest RC club in...

Mode 1 or Mode 2

Good advice from everyone Troy. Go with what the vast majority of flyers in your area are using. You can learn either way, but trying to change after learning would be a bear. Like me trying to...

How much Antenna Internal?

You can route the antenna inside the fuse for it's entire length if you want to. Many airplanes are done this way. Just don't fold it back on itself or let the end get coiled up. It's also a good...

Tx/Rx battery types, which is best??

Activator

About a teaspoon of baking soda in a cup of water seems to work well. Also, baking soda is good for filling cracks and gaps. Just fill the gap with soda and put a drop or two of thin CA on it. It...

In addition to what's already been mentioned, you might want to check your rudder trim. It can be off and the plane seem to fly fine, untill you try a loop. Just a thought...
