[RCSE] RE: how to hand launch Flying wing

You can see three (3) typical launch techniques via MPEG video on the www.Boomerangwings.com website. Go to "Tips", then click on 'Flying Tips'. There is audio, but you have to turn the volume up all the way to hear it. I'm sorry about the poor vidoeography. I was forcing my wife to take the

[RCSE] BALSA VS OBECHI

Is Obechi too heavy to be used on hlg? Don't use the stuff much, just need to know if there is a significant weight penalty. I would think the results with obechi would be much strong than balsa. tia RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe"

[RCSE] Futaba Programming

There is no switch needed to have another start setting that will give you a lower flaps and ailerons set for launch. Just pull your camber stick down and it will automatically give you an increase. Also try leaving camber on after you place your start switch in neutral. What a zoom.
