    Redundant Receiver Installation

    I have had lots of "altercations with the ground" but only one from electrical failure and that was a bad Hitec 5955 that stuck in a locked position. That locked position caused the plane to go into a full right roll that I couldn't overcome but I did get the plane pointed away from the parking...

    Redundant Receiver Installation

    I thought that was what you are doing as you only have 10 channels available!! Thanks for explaining how you did it.

    Futaba 18MZ/14SG/8FG Tips and Tricks

    I am really proud of programming my 18MZ so that I don't have to flip a switch to do a snap. The setup is, when throttle is less than 1/3 AND the rudder is in a corner AND the elevator AND the ailerons are in their respective corners, the rudder and elevator rates are lowered! After the snap...

    Futaba 18MZ/14SG/8FG Tips and Tricks

    Yep, that is the most common error that folks do when coming from other radio brands! The CONDITION mode of thinking allows one to use the power of the 18MZ such as logic to turn things on/off with stick position, change surface rates separately plus other things that I can't think of now. But...

    Prescription sunglasses

    I can't recommend the Extreme Glare lens highly enough!!  They are well worth the price for me.  They are the best sunglasses that I've had in 60 years of wearing glasses!  The day they came in I was going flying so I wore them for the trip (~60miles due east) and didn't realize how bad the...

    IMAC Dalton 300 ml build thread.

    I usually start with setting the wing incidence!  I have a 4ft lever that I put a digital level on top that I use that is long enough to move all along the top of the fuse to establish that the fuse IS lever or very close to 0.0 degrees!  I have found that if you use an anti-rotation pin at the...

    Need some help

    I am surprised that no one has mentioned to you the Training Program located on www.mini-iac.com under the Training tab.  It has a self downloading program that allows you to run it.  Also, there are several other helpful aids at that same training tab.  Read through them all then burn gas!! ...

    Two Throttle Linkage Questions??

    I once saw a guy find out how long he could fly at half throttle because his EZ connector on the throttle arm gave out!! It was 25 mins BTW!! I also had a clevis come loose at the throttle arm on the engine. That is why I only use the bolt on 1/4 scale 4-40 ball links!

    2015 Sequences

    A guy that is new to IMAC should go through the training program located at www.mini-iac.com located under the training tab. You will learn how to read ARESTI which is what you are asking about plus much, much more. It may take you several days to go through the program and digest what...

    How did you get or come up with your user name?

    Well, my "handle" may have a double meaning to those that have seen me fly and have lots of "altercations" with the ground - I seem to plant a lot of airplanes in the dirt! However, that is NOT the origin of my handle! My handle came from what I did in my professional career - I was a Soil...
