    Christmas!

    OK, bottom left we have a "gravlax" which is a simple cured salmon. Easiest thing in the world to make: Mix 3 tablespoons of kosher salt, 3 tablespoons of sugar and about 1/2-1 tablespoon of freshly ground pepper. Cover the salmon with the mixture. Make sure all is covered. Chop dill and cover...

    Question? Thunder Power 3s 2250 Lipo

    How much out of balance is the cell? Timing out at 12.4V suggests it's 0.2V out of balance. That's not huge, so what I would do it just keep cycling it until you get it to balance. Chargers normally use a fairly primitive method to balance the cells. They simply discharge the cells with higher...

    Dude, if you can't even be excited enough to smile about that plane you might just as well give it to someone who would appreciate it. Me, for example! :)

    I must have missed the pictures of their breakfast. I personally love Middle Eastern food. OK, by Middle Eastern food I mean the stuff you can get in the Arabic areas of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Maybe it's different from Dubai breakfasts...

    mixing on Phoenix

    I can't speak for every combination of TX and simulator, but when I use my DX7 with Phoenix, the mixes, DR and trims/subtrims definitely apply. That being said, the models in Phoenix are typically set up to fly "perfect", with as little coupling as possible. So, yes, adding mixes to the...

    mixing on Phoenix

    Not really. Remember, all the radio mixing does is to add "coupling" so that when you move one control surface (e.g. rudder) another surface (e.g. elevator) moves along with it, but with much lower gain (i.e. less throws). So the simulator just sees it as the user moving the two sticks at the...

    mixing on Phoenix

    Which model are you flying in Phoenix? Most of the 3D/aerobatic models have very little coupling in my experience. I usually fly the big gasser Yak, since it has the most realistic behavior IMHO. That model has an ever so slight pull towards the canopy in KE flight, but it's barely enough to...
