    Radio brand

    If your throttle trim is 50% or more before you affect idle speed your problem is more than likely mechanical set-up, NOT the transmitter or other issues. I have flown HeathKit, Futaba and Spektrum over the years. I have a DX-8 and a DX-18 G2 at present. Nothing would get me to give up the DX-8...

    Pilot 35% Yak teardown/ replacement

    I don't understand your having any problems getting repair parts from Pilot. Tony even sold me some covering for a repair.

    Lots to like about this ARF, I am dying to see the foam core wing up close and personnel. Can't understand why more folks aren't signing up for this contest, 77 days and only 490 post?

    2014 Magnolia Arkansas Fy-Low-In Pics and coverage- Friday!

    Hated missing this one, the Magnolia area and southern Arkansas are beautiful country. I used to go up there for Hare and Hound motorcycle races back in the early seventies. Anyway, I had a productive day in the shop working on a 33% Cub ARF and was able to enjoy the great coverage by the website.

    Giant Scale Axel Oil anyone make the stuff?

    Assuming you are serious, try a drop or two of glow fuel or your mixed gas on the axle, it is cheap and available. It has worked for me in the past. When you get home give the axles a shot of brake or carburetor cleaner to prevent greasy build-up and it cleans away any dirt build-up...
