    I need a little Help

    Any rudder or aileron trim? Do the ailerons fair (even with) the trailing edge when the plane flies level (or when it's sitting on the ground and ready for flight)? Fly the model directly away from you and see if it's flying in a crab to the right. Incidence angles the same for both wings and...

    Keep in mind that Futaba is negative numbers when it comes to Expo.

    150-200cc Extra 300SP

    I could only guess then as to what would cause the problem. Hope you get it sorted out. Glad that your airplane is okay and the Evo is running good.

    PAU Owners Thread

    I did not seal off the tunnel. I opened only the two holes I needed for the stingers using rear dump KS86 cans. Never a heat issue. I use the laser cut mounts from Desert Aircraft. You might have to cut the double mount in half, so two single might be the way to go. I also have made my own...

    Stupidest thing you have ever done RC related.

    I built a Midwest Little CAP 232 with a Saito 90. I had a hard time flying the model for the first few flights as it was the first model using expo. I couldn't understand why it was so sensitive. Changed to negative numbers, what a sweet airplane after that.

    BME-102 or 3W-100??

    If you can't find a carb let me know, I have one that you can have. You should also have the updated aluminum reed cage as it keeps fuel from puddling. Picture of this engine has the older style Ryton reed cage, it's black.

    Stupidest thing you have ever done RC related.

    I had a Lanier CAP 232 that was just about done. Wings sheeted and covered, fuselage done just needed a fairing at the rudder/fuselage join. A friend of mine offered to make a nice fairing for me. I put the model in the back of my truck with my engine on it but didn't tie it down. Now I had been...

    2015 Extreme 3D Fest Pics!! Post 'em if ya got 'em!!!

    My wife suggested I attend this event, even without being able to bring a plane to fly. Getting to Kentucky is easy for me, getting my work schedule to make it possible is another. Thanks for the pics/video. Sorry I missed this one, maybe next year!

    BME-102 or 3W-100??

    3W, but it's a biased opinion. I've owned 5 at one time, down to 2 for the time being.

    PAU 120ccExtra

    My wife and I were at an air show, she tells me how great biplanes are. I show her pictures of three models, two biplanes and this model. What do you think, I ask. She says, " get the Extra" :adore:

    Baffled on Baffling...

    I used the creative foam from Michael's. Worked great, I had a DA150 template from a previous project that worked well enough to get started. Easy to use, glued in place with household silicone.

    Futaba R7018SB Receiver

    Joe, I use canisters and pipes, no problem. The only suggestion I would make regarding antenna placement, is that they be more than a wavelength apart and the antenna from the opposite receiver is not parallel to (side by side) the other receivers antenna. It's nice to see you back into RC...

    Futaba R7018SB Receiver

    Joe, Looking back at 72mhz radios, we were all concerned about interference from outside sources, and those fears have probably never really subsided. I've had no issues following the manufacturers suggestions. I've used Futaba's sBus in four different installations and have had no problems. I...
