    Yeah, after you change the easy stuff, you can start in on the fuel system. A fortitude or Fiji setup with ceramic clunk will help shed a few oz. Also the exhaust can be heavenly. For example a Pitts style vs the stock muffler is a lot of weight. Also hardware is a place to shed weight...

    I agree that shipping is a huge pain in the butt. I also believe if you are in business you need to work hard to take care of your customer. You and I both know after the transaction is competed , it's easy to see if you made a profit from shipping . If a company is not smart enough to hide...

    Loose the Aluminum Lading gear and heavy spats. Use CF LG and no wheel pants, use hard foam wheels also. Loose the Aluminum Wing Tube and use a CF one. Loose the Aluminum Tail wheel and use a CF one. That's is a huge start that should buy you 1 1/2 lbs

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    Cool, thanks for the link. I have some of those that I picked up a while back. Isn't it possible to get more throw in a control surface if you gap the seam a little?

    To a Splendor to make it more 3D? Tips or advice.

    Have had it for a while now, it flys good when you dial the gains of the AS3X to Zero.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    So what exactly do I need to buy to get the optimum performance and throw. Do you have a link to the push rods, and what arms do I need? My build is going to be a while. I need servos and a Fiji tank.

    Postal Profiteers The Free Money Misers Hey guys, have you ever wanted to make free money on the backs of peoples hard work? I for one despise people who take advantage of others. One of the ways people like to make free money is to charge more for shipping, than it actually costs to ship...

    Aeroplus 60cc / 92" Edge 540 V3 from Limitless Aero

    Not being available for so long has to hurt the bottom line. Summer is prime flying weather, and they have been out of stock for months so it seems.

    Playing With Artwork (just some ideas)

    Its a fly-model extra 300lp I can get it for $239 + $35 shipping anywhere in the con usa. Minus $25 bucks for the good guy discount if you ask nicely. It comes in lime green and red white & blue. $35 shipping via FedEx for a 35cc plane is a steal imo. The plane flys nice, and its built very...

    DLE-55RA NIB W/ Xion 23x8 CF prop for sale

    Sorry to hear your family is having problems. I do have to ask, how much for the motor and prop shipped?

    I don't buy big $$ batts, and mine are wonderful. The found the shipping cost from HK usually negates the savings for me anyways. Like I said, if HK make you happy, you need to buy HK. I on the other hand no longer buy from them. I have found what I consider to be better places to give my money...

    You need to shed a pound or 2, 18 is a little heavy for that plane. 22x8 is the right prop, I have the same plane at 16+ pounds, it punches out fine.

    I learned my lesson about anything from HK. However if they make you happy, by all means buy from them. But I really feel there are much better and more deserving offerings than from HK. Also I did have some Zippy packs that we're pretty good.

    Aerobeez 48" EPP/Balsa hybrid Sbach 342

    Repairs on these (IMO) are " the worst of both worlds". They do fly nice though.

    Yippee! Did my first tail touch today

    That is cool, I haven't done that in a balsa model yet.

    The Motrolfly 5335-195kv is a beast of a motor. That thing should pull out like no other. I now I love my motrolfly motor, expensive but nice.
