Hi
Has anyone got access to a full-size Pirat glider with a unique colour
scheme? I am building a 1/4 scale model and would like to paint it in
something other than white.

I've had good results with the NiMH packs I've used. I've been nicad free
for about 8 months now on both the tx and rx side. (I guess I had just one

In regards to Nimh Rx packs... are these new

Hi, I live in the Berkshire Mtns. of Western MA and would like to get
started in slope soaring. I am presently flying a Zagi 400 but have not been

I can provide any type of RF laboratory test equipment, an anechoic test
chamber, and a couple of different cell phones. In either test, a
controlled enviroment is mandatory.
But in order to do either proposed test properly, we need different
types of cell phones as they have different power O/P's
Yep, it was a ground clearance issue.

Folks,
I'm tired of this...bashing, that is. If you don't like the service, don't buy...the prevention is easy. There are many vendors, if one doesn't suit your requirements, find another one. AIDS is almost the deadliest disease today, but also one of the easiest to pr

I certainly can't stretch to a new 8U at this stage, but does anyone
know what I'd be missing by getting the FF7 instead of the 8U?
I have heard it said that it is not user friendly to program and the
Cockpit is supposed to be easy, but that doesn't bother me much.
