    **sticky** Giant Scale according to the IMAA guidelines

    So the moral of the story is, for airplanes, 80" minimum for monoplanes and 60" minimum for biplanes, or 1/4 scale if wingspan is smaller that what is specified. A lot of the aerobatic monoplanes are relatively small so they will be 1/4 scale and have wingspans less than 80" but still be...

    **sticky** Giant Scale according to the IMAA guidelines

    Hi folks, since we're declaring ourselves the greatest Giant Scale RC website of the known and unknown regions of the world it would probably be a good idea if we declared what Giant Scale is. The definition has traditionally been defined by what the International Miniature Aircraft...

    Topics and a build thread for the new guys

    I've lined up a plane for these videos, it's a Lanier 73" Edge 540 ARF. It was originally purchased with a trailer full of planes from an estate and it was one of the last ones that I sold. It was flown a few times with a Zenoah G26 and then I sold it for $75 and I"m buying it back for $75...

    AdvanceAuto (similar to Autozone) carries Welder glue, FYI. It's good to know Quick Grip works too though.

    3D and CG

    ok so it isn't impossible to take a sport plane that has the power and throws and get it to 3D without moving the CG way back? in other words, i suck as much as i think i suck?

    3D and CG

    Guys, I mentioned to someone in another thread to move the CG back to make their sim 3D better. In thinking about it though, how much do you have to move it and can a regular sport plane 3D? Is it just having monster throws and power or does CG have to be moved a lot? A while...

    So where is everyone from? Countries? States?

    mostly from the US with Australia and Israel joining us so far. Is Giant Scale RC less common in other areas of the world or are we just getting started in getting the word out? I'll have to start bringing stickers with me when I travel for work. :)
