RE: Tuff Flight's 4D

It really is a nice plane, but I just can't keep my engine running when it's not level. When it points up, it leans out and dies, and when it points down, it gets over rich and dies. It's just been...

RE: Tuff Flight's 4D

I ordered another engine so I won't have to worry about keeping it running when I need it most and an air filter for when I inevitably run it into the dirt again. The wind out here is frustrating,...

RE: Tuff Flight's 4D

I fixed the plane but it got windy and rainy just as I finished, so it'll have to wait. I'm thinking of ordering the 4d-lite to practice with until I'm comfortable flying the 4D. I don't want to...

RE: Tuff Flight's 4D

Thanks! It looks good as long as you don't get too close. I used the same pearl blue and black/yellow checkered ultracote on the corplast as I did on the wings, but the fuselage wasn't smooth, so I...

RE: Tuff Flight's 4D

RE: Tuff Flight's 4D

I finally finished my 4D monday night. Yesterday, I took it out to try to fly it. I had some problems getting my engine running, but I got it in the air after breaking a prop and flew it around for...

RE: Tuff Flight's 4D

I meant it's a metal gear servo. It's 1.6 oz, 80 oz/in and .15 sec/60 deg, so the specs are ok. The part I was worried about was being able to plug it into the aircraft receiver. I'm about 8 hours...

RE: Tuff Flight's 4D

I have also ordered a 4D deluxe kit to be my first 'real' r/c plane. I learned on a Parkzone Super Decathlon and now it's getting pretty tired and I'm done spending money on it. I picked up a...
