    Plane storage

    I live in the Chicago area. Any concerns about cold storage in an unheated garage? Mostly concerned about the humidity and temperature changes that occur all winter long

    DLE 35RA Muffler bolts

    Wish I saw this about 3 weeks ago. Just finishing my first gallon through the 35RA engine and started having some trouble starting up. Figured I leaned it out too much I put it back to factory settings. Engine started good but about 5 minutes into my flight after a short hover the engine...

    Dle 35ra

    Yea, times I've gone during lunch could be busy or empty. Typically have a decent evening crowd on nice nights with a variation of flying types.

    Dle 35ra

    Checkerboard Flying Field (Miller Meadow). Right across from Loyola Hospital - 1st Ave just south of 290 expressway. I mostly fly in evenings and weekends but stop by anytime.

    Dle 35ra

    Thanks Nate - I re-set the low needle back close to factory tonight and fired it up on my drive way. Ran good and tested shutting it down and re-starting and it seems good. I have a NGK plug waiting in the wings. Guy at my field gave it to me even after he pancaked his 60cc Pilot Extra when...

    Dle 35ra

    I know this is an older thread but I have the same problem. New engine with 15 flights (finishing the first gallon). No real problems starting the engine until recently and now when I get it to start I cannot get it past the transition and then dies. I did lean it out a little and plan on...

    Redwing RC life battery.

    Thanks Nate - I thought about it last night and it makes sense that the opto kill is not isolating ignition noise. Now I weigh my options on running another battery or switching to the IBEC.

    Redwing RC life battery.

    Quote below is from the Redwing website. "Description: The Optical Kill Switch for gas rc planes, allows you to safely and remotely kill your electronic ignition. It is Fiber Optically Coupled to isolate your ignition system from your radio system so there is NO interference " Now I'm...

    Redwing RC life battery.

    Just checking - I'm running a Y-cable from the battery JR plug to the Rx and the opto kill switch. Did a bench test and both are getting power. Any concerns?

    Redwing RC 30cc (76") Extra 330sc

    Thanks Gyro - I appreciate the feedback and your suggestion makes sense. I'll take a look at the Slick.

    Redwing RC 30cc (76") Extra 330sc

    Gyro - have you flown this plane much? Just wondering how it flies precision aerobatics and 3D.

    Discussion Which airplane for my next step to aerobatics?

    Not knowing what kind of trainer or size I strongly suggest starting with a 40 to 50 inch wingspan electric 3D foamy. You need to get your feet wet before going from trainer to a 75" 3D plane that will run close to $1,000 for a full set up. Get comfortable with the foamy and then start up...
