    Why do you love this hobby?

    It started with a ride in a Cessna 170, owned by a neighbor friend of my dad. That was about 1960, I was 5, and instantly fell in Love with aviation. My dad had flown CL when he was a kid. I loved to hear him tell stories about the old Ohlson's, Johnsons', and other ignition engines, all...

    Futaba 14SG vs Graupner 24-MZ? Help!

    Futaba is in the lead in my mind, always has been, but that Graupner looks pretty cool. But Futaba sure has the backup!

    Futaba 14SG vs Graupner 24-MZ? Help!

    Ok, I'm in the market for a new radio, since everything i've got is still rather 'stone age' 72 mhz. stuff. I've been a life long Futaba fan, at least since Orbit and F&M went out of business... (yeah, i'm old). Anyways... The Futaba looks great, backwards compatible with any Futaba 2.4...

    ARF shelf life?

    Got the tank pulled out tonight... Needless to say, the Tygon is way beyond its useful lifespan. Found a bit of the front hatch foam melted from gas. The sheeting seems plenty strong, and it's not any kind of structural element, so i'll just paint it with some thinned out epoxy and cross my...

    ARF shelf life?

    Hmmm. I hadn't thought about the carb. I had been running real gas ( no ethanol) in it before I put it away, with lawn boy oil. I'll probably do a rebuild just to be safe.

    Scale The Naked Truth of Covering a Plane

    I had to check to see if it's still available, and it is. I've used Balsarite in the past, and once you've got the covering on there, it's Not coming off.. Period. Do clean the airframe as clean as you possibly can, that does more good than anything.

    ARF shelf life?

    Oh, i'll still use the 72mhz stuff. The club I'm rejoining has a beautiful field, but not a lot of fliers so there's not any problems getting the channel. I'm really looking at the new features available on the new radios, although my old Futaba Super has a lot as well. Just have to sort out...
