Hey Pat Some of them radios today even have 2 sticks!! Lots of switches and stuff. Why you could even convert that canard Skeeter to two channel to handle them downwind turns better. Denny RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests

Hi Gang, In Matt's defense, I did not really make myself clear as to why I needed to reverse the servos. I am in the process of building a Scale ASW27 for Larry Scaramella and will be Y-connecting the spoiler servos and also the retract and aerotow servos. I am sure Matt was just trying to be h

Fellow Soar Heads... Just received the P-13 kit from Hobby club... Looks like an excellent plane for the price but the instructions leave much to be desired. Has anyone built/flown one of these and if so how bout letting me hear from you with how you set up the plane, installed the wing servo's,

Gosh, I bet Pat never even thought of that! :) There are plenty of situations out there that require an internally reversed servo. As you get into flying more complicated ships you soon discover that it's not a question of the TX shortcomings. It's more a matter of say, "How can I drive 14 servo

Simon, I did not imply it has no merit. I did imply that I never did it. I don't have a problem, why do the work? Just because someone says I should? I fly my planes to the limit of my visibility and have no problems with maintaining control. Contrary to what appears on this list at times, it's

Re: [RCSE] First Windfree flight...

To check the elevator did you handglide the plane before the first launch? A soft winch launch at first is a very good idea. Windfree's are particularly susceptible to warps--wings must be straight and I don't remember if washout was called for in the plans but if so should be used. I have flown

Hello, I want to buy servos for a new ship due next week. I have narrowed it down to JR 341s and JR 331s. I am going to go with the 331s on the flaps and get the 351MG gear set. Comes out about the same, just more torque for the 331s. I have noticed that the 331s and the 341s are almost exact
