Steve, I think you missed the mark here.. expert servos (distributed to dealers by Horizon) will offer equal quality at equal price points with hi-tec, FMA etc.. these are all after market servos of good quality.. parts, gears etc. are available also.. for Jerry, I would put the SL 320 as

[RCSE] Re: Differential in Wingeron aircraft

1999-09-10 Thread Bill Swingle
I have found differential in a wingeron to be helpful. But, as with aileron differential, the amount needed is specific to each particular flight condition. Thus, nothing is optimum for all situations. Bill Swingle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pleasanton, CA RCSE-List facilities provided by Model

I'll try to be more clear next time. The questions I will be asking will have nothing to do with the particular radio in use, but rather with the affect and effect on a plane. I knew that when I messed with the differential I had to change the rudder throw -- I know now that it was to

RE: [RCSE] FVK Gillette sucks!

It's probably NOT you. It's probably your set up. Small changes like CG, incidence, even the computer TX setup can change a sweetheart into a pig! My GUESS would be that you need less positive incidence, and less noseweight. Try that for starts. I have seen a Gilette fly at Kiona, and it looked

Yep, someone was right about it being my longest flight. The highlander returned to earth today. Let's see I put it in the tree about 2 Sundays ago. A great Father-In-Law retrieved it for me. Present him with a challenge .. he'll solve it! Actually, what I prayed for happened ... Dennis
