    Idle Up

    I use an idle down on a switch for landing. It is set to barely idle the engine. The same switch when in the idle down position turns off a 1% down elevator to bottom throttle stick mix that gives better down lines.

    Typically, you will fly two sequences per round. At last years IMAC SC/NC regional fly-off we flew 9 single sequence rounds which allowed contestants to fly in front of a greater variety of judges but that was the only time I encountered that. Sherman will be two sequence rounds. I highly...

    Need some help

    The Sherman contest is always a great time. Doug Pilcher and crew put on a great contest and the Saturday brisket is superb. There is also a contest next weekend at Clover Creek in Toone, Tn. which would be a short drive. You will be overwhelmed with the friendly, helpful attitudes and...

    Servo Horn 'extensions' - is this good enough?

    Might require more than the purchase price of quality servo arms to replace the airframe. Have you fitted the competed assembly on a servo yet. Depending on the servo the lock nuts could contact the top of the servo case. If they do simply put the screw head on the bottom. Personally...

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    That's amazing. I think mine lasted a dozen flights or so before the rubber quit holding inside the hub. Same with the tailwheel. When I installed the CF main gear I mounted the wheel pants a tad higher to avoid the larger wheels hitting the inside top. The tailwheel assembly is fine but...

    Does a tuned pipe reduce noise?

    Tuned pipes will almost always quiet the engine exhaust noise. Prop noise is a separate issue.

    Giant Scale Axel Oil anyone make the stuff?

    I have had success using marine axle grease. It stays put and doesn't degrade as quickly as most.
