    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    Ok i think your choice of motors is good /reference RCGF 70 twin. Make sure if you purchased one get it from ValleyView Rc. Tom gives great support and he works directly with RCGF . Even if he shows out of stock he gets the motors about every 2 weeks back in inventory. I wanted the 70 twin for...

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    At least i see your wing saddles are solid balsa , my LaserX are not the saddles are open with little thin pieces of lite ply glued and spaced out on the saddle. You can take your fingers and flex the saddle areas 1/4 inch. I am doing some mods to that area for sure. Also does your bird have a...

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    Just started assembly on the Peak 32% LaserX. I received it last year on a promotion deal directly from Peak. I really cant complain on the price of $480 shipped. In starting the assembly I have found many areas that need attention , like lack of glue, misaligned wood and large gaps in the wood...

    Let’s Talk Fuel Lines!

    Reference fuel clunks I have been using Walbro Felt clunks in all my gassers . I was advised not to use the knockoff style or brands made in China. I have never had any problems since switching to the Walbro Felt clunks. I get them from ValleyViewRc they are around $5 per piece, a little pricey...

    Website Down?? - Business Shut??

    Kole is pretty much out of the GP business. That is why I always wait for some time before buying any new brand of motor. My friend bought one of their 61 motors and it shook so bad he sent it back and got a refund. He and myself have pretty much stuck to DLE and I have several EME newer version...

    TailDraggerRC 20AWG Servo Wires

    I purchase a lot of items from Taildragger but I have to be honest his twisted 20 gauge extensions come apart and don't stay twisted like some other brands I have used. I usually twist them back tight and put small ties on them to keep them tight . Other than that issue I like to do business...
