Well most of you don't know that it was my boneheaded stunt at the Mid-South that started this thread. I lost a Psyko LT in the Georgia Jungle by getting way too far downwind. All the posts up to this point have all had good thoughts but when you lose a contest proven ship you tend to reflect

Gavin really is not 100% right. Sailboats do not develop lift off their sails! Ok..technically they do, but the lift is in the wrong direction. Sailboats develop lift by their keels/centerboards. That pulls them to "weather". The sails develop thrust. The sailboat is always slipping at a cou

I'll try to be more clear next time. The questions I will be asking will have nothing to do with the particular radio in use, but rather with the affect and effect on a plane. I knew that when I messed with the differential I had to change the rudder throw -- I know now that it was to compensate
