Thanks for all the ideas to get me back on the list! Here's what I think happened: My local ISP was recently bought by In Reach and they apparently have a different spam filter system. They think the secondary filter was catching airage.com as if it were a spam server. Mike RCSE-List facil

Well, I have finally gotten my Nemesis resurection in the air. The 3 piece fuse is now 1 piece! The wing tips are still a bit creased, but it flies. I have the CG 3 inches, 76mm from the LE Per F3X.com recommendation. Seems good, but only one flight in light lift. Is anyone flying a different/be

OK, we have gotten the servos into the boomerang wing and will be using the focus 3 with "mixing". As people with this setup know the servo arms travel below the level of the foam. Other than not moving the sticks as far, are there any ways to ameliorate this condition? Or is it that much of a pro
