[RCSE] Highlander Toughness and Kimbrough Servosavers

Just off a well-stretched highstart and with the wing tipped the wrong way to a fairly stiff crosswind my Highlander zipped sideways into the top 2/3 of a tree. I thought, "Oh *; guess I'll have to climb a tree." No, there it is, ripping and tearing through the branches and then zipping

[RCSE] Boomerang setup

Hi All A question for all you slope-heads. How can I get some elevator control while turning either direction? When I turn left or right the elevator control seems to vanish. I checked it on the ground and sure enough if full turn and full up or down is applied only the turn signal is fully

Re: [RCSE] VTAIL answers-thxs

Most everybody (even those who know better) launches a v-tail at least once with the control backwards. HLGs usually survive. The other fun thing is to try to fly one with only one of the two servos working. Had it happen on my X440 electric when a servo gear tooth chipped. If I had realized

Re: [RCSE] Battery charger recomendations?

Patrick, I just picked up a used Hobbico field charger for twenty bucks from a pilot on the exchange. I think they normally go for around $40.00 - $50.00 bucks. Simple to use. Charges either 4.8 volt or 6.00 volt receiver batteries, and also the 9.6 TX battery independently of one
