    Secraft Wire Tensioners

    I use the quick disconnects on the rudder end, you never know when you might need to unhook the cable. If you don't want to go that route just use the stock stuff on the rudder end and the tensioners on the servo end. No sleeves needed, just run the wire through and tighten the set screws.

    Generators?

    Honda 2000 is probably the best for us if you're flying electric or need to double it to run the heat in a camper.

    VVRC 40cc Twin

    Some folks prefer CM6 plugs but the small plug version fits in several cowls, like my avatar, completely enclosed, where the CM6 version, which is like an inch wider, would not.

    Turbines are cool...

    Whats worse is already having the turbine waiver but no budget for a jet.

    Looking for 60"ish precision/3D electric airframe

    EF planes are gorgeous. I reviewed the Flight Models Extra 330 from Diamond Hobby and was very impressed.

    Crimping Tool

    Nope, makes it so you can take it apart without cutting the wire if need be but it doesn't slip. There's only a crimp if you use the sleeves. The wire loops through then back, then the set screws make it stay put. I have a lot of combined flights on that setup on a couple planes, no issues...

    Crimping Tool

    Ground the edge off of old wire cutters. Then Azar sent me some of the Secraft couplers for a review I was doing, no more crimping for me, I have bought them for every pull pull setup since. http://store.aztechaeromodels.com/index.php?route=product/product&filter_name=coupler&product_id=302...

    How much longer is Horizon contracted as the JR Service Center?

    I'd have to imagine anyone good at fixing RC in that area is either employed by Horizon or Hobbico and probably had to sign a non-compete that would keep them out of a job in the industry for a year or two before they could jump ship.

    FAA CLARIFICATIONS...... What's legal.......What aint ???????

    As far as the AMA, as long as you use a spotter that can maintain visual LOS then FPV via goggles is still approved and covered.   The FAA issued an interpretation, the AMA and others have asked for a judicial review of the interpretation (it's been called a law suit and I suppose in some...
