    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Kinda disagree, that funky wire connecting the two elevator halves will flex and cause grief. I will be adding the second servo to my elevator. My 33% R C Guys Pitts.

    Hitec servo question

    Since there was no reply, this morning I took out the Hitec's and put in some old 8411's. Sure enough, all better, and more importantly, centering is alot better. You would think by now Hitec could make servos that center.... :very_angry:

    Hitec servo question

    With my servo programmer I set the endpoints on two servos that I am using on ailerons. I didn't get them equal. If I reset them will they go back to a factory setting ? or will they reset to no movement at all ? Thanks Randy

    Trainer or Biwing

    I tend to agree with dad, with the caveat about the good instructor (short reply). I would not, however, suggest a Pitts for your first plane.

    Show Me the Biplanes!!!!

    Question: I'm assembling a Pitts and don't want to take the wings off to charge and fuel. I've looked at the miracle switch. is it compatible with an ignition cut off ? Or, is there a better way to go ? I'm also thinking about a battery elimination device for the ignition . What are you guys...

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    :frown:I threw out my back last week so I went to the chiropractor this morning, the batteries for my Pattern plane are all discharged, and I need to close the holes where the canisters went through the firewall on my Comp-arf now that I put the mufflers back on. Just don't fell like playing today.

    O. K. I'll bite, that's Mono lake in the background, which is in central California. Because a person has to do more than just fly his toy airplanes...hence the handle, desertrider.

    FHSS and FASST

    Can someone tell me if the FASST and FHSS systems are compatible. I have to send in my 8FG super (FASST) in for repair and I may be able to get a 10J (FHSS) as a back up so I don't lose a month of flying. If they are compatable does the 10J have a sd card slot so I could copy my models to it...
