    IMAC NATS 2017

    Thanks for posting the prelim scores. LOL.........I was expecting to see 30-40 pilots in each class being the Nationals.

    Turnigy TGY-i10 full telemetry 10 ch computer radio

    Any progress with the gasser? Did you get any flights in before the servo issues? What range are you flying with the i10 TX/RX setup?

    Landing with crosswinds and no headwind

    If I'm reading correctly, it's not so much the crosswind, but without a head wind to help slow your Extra's to a more reasonable landing speed, they tend to land fast. Are the Extra's purpose built.........IMAC, Freestyle, Extreme Aerobatics, etc.? Have you considered programming a switch on...

    Turnigy TGY-i10 full telemetry 10 ch computer radio

    I haven't purchased anything from HK in a while. They sent me a code for 30% off my next purchase within the next 30 days. With that kind of discount this TX may show up on my door step.

    Airtronics Users

    Probably a good move for Sanwa as they're basically an afterthought in the air market now. Introducing a new TX would most likely be futile as sales would probably be very small, probably to the few Airtronics supports that are left. Sanwa dominates the surface market, makes sense to focus...

    Dual Fiji Bottle Fuel Tanks? Anyone?

    Bottle on the left has the fill line. Bottle on the right supplies the carb. The tank level is equalized via the bottom connection between the two tanks. This setup worked great but is somewhat slow to fill.

    Dual Fiji Bottle Fuel Tanks? Anyone?

    I ran dual 500ml Fiji's on my Yak for a while. I think I have pictures and can email them to you.

    Pro-modeler servos

    I've used several different torque rated servos from Pro Modeler, all have been very good performers and are still in service after three years. Only thing I don't get is if the servos are made in USA, it's not mentioned on the packaging or anywhere on the body of the servo.......maybe the v3...

    Turnigy TGY-i10 full telemetry 10 ch computer radio

    Hope so, I've looked at the manual and it's vague at best in explaining functions. Also Dimes, can you reassign the channel functions and are you able to change the names, like AUX3 to LOA (Left Outboard Aileron) or any other nameing convention that suits your setup?

    Turnigy TGY-i10 full telemetry 10 ch computer radio

    Dimes......have you looked at the channel mixing yet? Specifically, say for a duel rudder or aileron setup; after the two channels are mixed do you still have independent control on each servo for endpoint, centering and travel? Or is it a master/slave type configuration where the master servo...

    Awesome Cam! You have become a very skilled builder. Do you know if the new Dalton/PAU ARF is based on this kit?

    GP 123

    It's some type of silicone self-fusing tape. There are several brands available; I think this is from Home Depot. Packaging says E-Z Fuse Tape. I've wrapped it over the teflon tape hoping it will provide some additional support to the flexible section of the headers. Another brand is called...

    Website Down?? - Business Shut??

    One of the US dealers here: http://www.aviatorplusrc.com/rcaviation/ They do service the GP engines as well. You can find and PM the owner over on GiantScaleNews; FLYMAN022. An update on my GP123. 98 flights and just over 12 gallons thru the engine; approx 21 run hours. Very strong engine...

    Edge or Yak for first giant scale?

    I'd go straight to something in the 50-70cc range. Good timing also with some of the Black Friday sales. Extreme Flight has 10 percent off right now. The 88" Edge 540 or 91" Yak 54 would be great choices............the Edge probably is the better choice for learning 3D. Also with you being...

    Plane Stand Pro - fuselage stand.

    Just a great value Terry. You have a product that fills a void in giant scale RC, at a fair price and that actually works as advertised and intended!
