    Your Opinion-This is not a "Which radio is best" thread!!!

    Probably much like you, I ignored all the stories I read on the flying sites. Thought to myself before I bought it that it couldn't be as bad as some people were saying. Always hear about the bad stuff first! But hey, they are still selling them and yes, a guy near me flys with one all the time...

    Your Opinion-This is not a "Which radio is best" thread!!!

    It's not you that has me worried! I an annal about my set ups as well. I have been flying for a very long time, never lost a plane due to a bad setup. I flew with the old 72mz radios for 10 years at least. Never lost a plane due to a channel problem. Only "radio" problem I had was a servo motor...

    Hey Brian, yes I'm very slowly working on it. Our house just this past Sunday got sold (again!!) . 17 years in this house makes for alot of stuff to clear out!! As you can see I've got the covering removed from the fuse. The vertical stab was loose so I reinforced it with two carbon fiber...

    Your Opinion-This is not a "Which radio is best" thread!!!

    Very much like my story with the A9. Loved the programming, thought that the radio would last me a long time. It didn't. Had one incident with a nitro plane where I wasn't sure if I had a lock out. 2nd with a gas plane but again wasn't sure because I was landing in a nasty cross wind, thought...

    Which is worse, left nut or an arm and a leg! What ever, what I wouldn't give to fly something like that but.... when it came time to land I'd be giving the TX back to Rob!! That is a SWEET plane!!

(and oh the ideas I have there but I want to hear yours!) P.S. Not trying to obtain intellectual property here. Just your...

    DA-150, any advice when buying used?

    The main reason for some one like me IS the service. I like the fact if I buy a used DA I could send it in if I have problems. Everything I have read about DA is that they are a great company. Their service is on record as being the best. I could buy another engine new for the price of a good...

    DA-150, any advice when buying used?

    I never even thought of the drone engines, I didn't realize people were trying to pass them off as r/c motors! I'm glad this thread came about! Which is why I ask if there many out there?

    DA-150, any advice when buying used?

    So you can't tell by the serial number other than giving DA a call? Are there many DA drone engines out and about?
