I have those too. 3 of them. They are EXPENSIVE and popular, but it is insane how they won’t hold a model just because the humidity in one’s shop changes.

If you genuinely want to save fuel weight, do yourself a favor and get a Xicoy. INDEPENDENT testing (RCJI mag) shows that they consistently burn less fuel than comparable engines. Get yourself a X-95...

YOU CAN’T BEAT XICOY for thrust to weight. They are light and also very efficient, so fly longer on the same fuel or require less fuel (and associated weight) for a given amount of flight time. See...

Of course I did. That issue had zero to do with the wing and everything to do with the funky rudder layout which induced a roll moment. Don’t confuse the apples with the oranges.

No, they don’t match at all. They’re backwards. When Cardash got the tip tank bug on the last Boomer he designed, he made them nonsensically pointy-end forward and fat-end aft, unlike any tip tank on...
