I ended up using just a single drop of CA in an area of the linkage that was exposed...it seemed to do the trick. I know the CA/mircos trick works well too, though. If it breaks loose again, I'll probably do that. I was a bit impatient, though, and uesd non foam friendly CA. Haven't seen any

[RCSE] Bigger airframes.

My bagged GENIE thermal competition ship has a 12 foot span, over 1200 squares and plenty of profile to see. Works great for us 80 year old buzzards who aren't quite yet ready to quit this game. Had a great 30 minute flight a week ago Sunday and never lost sight of it. Hawks kept the ship company.

[RCSE] Adding elevator control

Does the design adapt to a full-flying stabilisator? Just mount it slightly above the tailboom on a pivot. If that looks odd mount the wing on a pivot instead! Tord S Eriksson www.tord.nu RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAI

[RCSE] The "Pro's" quick CG test...

2001-08-22 Thread Quiet Man
If anyone is curious as to what Joe Wurts, Daryl Perkins, et all will commonly do to "check" the CG of a plane when you hand them the Transmitter; it's this...

I would like to buy a simulator that I can drive with my JR 8103. I have determined that the Ikarus EasyFly will do this and it is on sale for $50 now. What about the Multiplex Cockpit Master? Any other sims to check out that will work with the JR? Any comments on which is best or about their

Hi, you only need a new frequency module (and receiver) if you are changing frequency bands, say from the 72MHz band to 35MHz. If you are changing from one 72MHz channel to another you only need to change the crystals. Regards Richard Knott   Bell Equipment Co. South AfricaWheeled Loader Ma
