    Scale Need advice on trailing edge aileron & flap bow on BUSA 1/3 Super Cub

    I agree with Ken! Is the spar for the aileron bent also or just the trailing edge? It might be built into the aileron by the joining of the two sheets at the trailing edge, can you slice off the top trailing edge sheet, see if it straightens out, and then do it again with some shims to correct...

    Discussion Flap/Elevator mix a' la C/L Stunt

    Thanks Chris. I've been playing with mixes using OpenTX and I've always wanted to give this a try. Will probably have it set to activate as part of high rates with the other controls and go from there Between OpenTX and the split ailerons there are like five things to do with the wings. good...

    Discussion Flap/Elevator mix a' la C/L Stunt

    Anyone ever try mixing flaps to elevator like control line stunters all do? My big Cap 232 is almost ready to fly and I split the ailerons so I'm playing with different options. Right now the flaps are just about parked except in the third position of the switch which is 3D throws (I can't 3D...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    My H9 1/3 scale Cap 232 has two holes in the tail for rudder servos but I put in one MKS 777 and figure it'll be fine. 7.4 volts so should have more than enough power.

    Radio brand

    I just came across that this morning. There has been something funky with throttle trims on my Horus X10S and this morning I realized the lower half of the throttle trim affects the upper half of the throttle range and the upper half of the throttle trim affects the lower end of the throttle...

    Radio brand

    Started with Futaba like a lot of people, went to a JR 9503 around Nov, 2010 which never once gave me any problems and I still use that radio for a few of my planes. Also had a Hitec Aurora 9 for a while but it wasn't versatile enough even though it was my all time favorite for feel and...

    Optical Kill Switch as On/Off?

    Just finished mounting the throttle servo and was about to mount the optical kill switch and ignition battery. Then I remembered this thread and, $45 later, one of these is on its way to Daddy. http://www.tech-aero.net/ultra-ibec You guys are a bad influence on me, and a good influence. :)

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    one word, "foamies". If I didn't have a few small electric foamies I'd almost never get out to the field. Once I get into the routine of going to the field, the bigger ones start to make it out but when I go any amount of time without flying it's the foamies that let me get back into it...

    Discussion Flying Fields, How Big is Enough?

    Thanks for the replies guys! I have to stop by this week to see what kind of room we might be able to get for a runway from the owner. Some of those sizes you mentioned are pretty big! Marking off a runway is a good idea, we'll see who can handle it before we commit to anything...
