    Gimbal Stick Ends

    Second the sticks from Aztech. The cool thing is, the 5 or 6 little points on top of each one cut into your thumbs like lancets, and when the blood dries it glues your thumbs to the sticks. ;-) I'm only half serious here, but I do like mine A lot because of the points... Glutton for punishment...

    Red Carbon Fibre Spinner?

    Esprit model.com has some red ones, but I believe they're Fiberglass and not CF.

    LOVE'N DESERT AIRCRAFT!!!

    Yeah. IMO buying DA is a pretty much worry free endeavor. I've bought a bunch, and sold a few. Typically what I'll do is ship any engine I'm wanting to sell to Desert Aircraft for a check up. If it needs anything I have it fixed. Then it goes directly from DA to the new owner. Totally stress...

    LOVE'N DESERT AIRCRAFT!!!

    My experience with DA has been they charge for parts, and not the labor. I couldn't be happier with my experience with this Company. Great folks. Can't wait to get Colton Clark on the phone next time I have an occasion to do some business with them.

    You can also drill and tap the arms for 3mm. Takes about 3 minutes

    The little 70's are wonderful engines. I have hundreds of flights on mine.

    I need to make up another gas tank as well. So I think I'll do the same.

    Viton tubing

    Hey Terry. I'm assuming you get the Viton at McMaster? Could you post a link to the exact stuff you're buying, or post specs for it?

    91" Extreme Flight Extra

    And forget what I said on my previous post. My Extra rudder IS push pull. It's my Yak that is pull pull. I'm getting my threads confused.

    91" Extreme Flight Extra

    I do have low and medium rates on some of my planes. Other people fly them occasionally, and stop to stop throws weird them out .

    91" Extreme Flight Extra

    About 40% expo, and bevel to bevel throws. No need for low and medium rates. ;-) And it's fairly common, on my planes anyway, for the pull-pull cables to slacken up some at full deflection .
