You don't indicate your own dealings with Roy Simpson - mine have been minimal - and yes, he seemed a bit abrupt to me. I'm certain though, that you have had no dealings with Marc Gellart. Marc is not given to criticizing unfairly and has given more to the soaring community than most. Many on

[RCSE] WTB 2M Fuse

Well, now, here's a bit of a weird request! I need half a fuse for a two meter. Anyone out there got a crashed/trashed cross tailed fuse with a full flying stab they would part with. I only need the back half so the nose and wing area can be shot. I want to graft a cross tail on a V tailed

No. The futaba service rep was quite specific in specifying the finest wire possible. We discussed using a single strand of music wire which he thought would be optimum. As I mentioned I have used such antennas for several years with excellent results. (that is my planes have not fallen from

Folks, I too am a very happy customer of many Years. As a side note, Tom has went out of way to promote the Nats Workers raffle, and has supported the LSF however he could. This man has done a bunch to promote the hobby, and I feel good about him and his products. I have seen the new system that

What more can be said, Hoopes connectors are made of metal and plastic and are soldered to wire with insulation on it.  The harnesses come in plastic bags that are real clear.  Included are some very detailed instructions, Tom is a neat packer of stuff.   I was going to order an Icon till I h

It's not meant to be funny, some poor guy advertises his moldie for sale and you imply that Hoope Harnesses are somehow no longer good enough. You made the implication. Your precise words were: Sounded pretty cool until I saw this: >> Hoopes wing connectors... You then quote me from another
