    IMPORTANT!!! Let the AMA know what you think!!!!!

    Yes, I too remember the SFA. There was some battle with AMA & AMA shut em' down, can't remember what it was about now. Yeah, noone around here puts their AMA # or info in their planes, at least not in the bigger ones. A few of the guys with vintage planes still flying, will have them in it...

    No WORDS... RIP - Reza Gholamipour

    Really sad to hear of his passing. I talked to him a little & then switched to Redline oil. He will surely be missed.

    Thanks Rob !! We're looking at winter here , just around the corner so I won't get it in the air till next spring sometime.

    Setting up SmartFly W/Futaba question ?!

    I'm new at this SmartFly & 40% planes but my first question is about the warning that came with my EQ-10 Turbo unit. It says do not install any of the powersystem RX connections to any Battery Port on the Receiver , so I plugged the #1 wire from the power board to #11 on my Futaba R6014fs rx. It...

    Older DA-150 throttle question !

    I just got my first big DA-150 & while trying to make linkage to the servo I'm wondring why there is such a giant hole on the arm ? There's a smaller hole there too but a ball ink would hit the choke ball link. Is there a some special bolt washer missing or do they make another arm for these ...

    Help w/40 % !

    Thanks Sweetpea !! I'll be using a Futaba 10-C . The plane has one of those 8 ch. I4C servo isolators in it. Don't know a thing about it though, so I was wondering how to get all the servos in sync so they don't drain the batteries. I don't have the instructions for it either, that's why I...

    Thanks rab79 !! That will let me see how the plane flies at first, though I can't do a whole lot of 3D flying, but I do enjoy trying to hover my other planes, just can't seem to get them down near the ground, ha !! I'll be getting an EQ Smart fly system for it this winter. Probably go with the...
