    Become A Model Aviation Mentor. Help Others In Our Sport!

    We all love model aviation no matter what the form. Some like airplanes, some helis, others like multirotors, or RC cars and boats. No matter what you like to do, or if you like all of them in one form or another, we all had to learn that skill at one time. We were not born with knowing how...

    Thanks Gary! We'll host it here then. Doesn't matter about the number of responses. I'll take quality and honesty over quantity any day. And you are right, it is a shame that one cannot speak freely about any subject. Frank

    Favorite and Most Trusted RC Vendors

    It sure confuses me, that is for sure. But I suspect it may have something to do with HK paying people to say good things about them on the RC forums. There was a thread (or two) a while back that discussed HK paying people up to $100 a month to say good things about their experiences with...

    Favorite and Most Trusted RC Vendors

    Gary, Thanks for asking. No new updates. The poll ran on that other site and HeadsUp RC was selected as the Most Trusted RC vendor for 2012. On a side note, you would not believe the grief I took for not having HK on the list to choose from. I would tell folks that there was no way I...

    Altitude Hobbies Hosted ZTW ESC discussion/ Q & A thread

    I just ordered a 45A ESC due to it having a 6A BEC. The T-Bird I was running only had a 3A and my 10A Ext BEC crapped out. Frank

    Primo .15 size 3D Profile Build Thread

    No, not yet. I just discovered the servo not fitting issue and since I need to build something for the servos to fit into, I have not mounted the wing to the fuselage. Once the wing is on, I can attempt the re-bond the motor mount to the fuselage. I am hoping I can get it on straight and...

    Primo .15 size 3D Profile Build Thread

    I have not used the Scorpion, but the plans calls for a 200 watt motor IIRC. CAUTION: Do NOT follow the instructions that came with the kit. Specifically, DO NOT glue the motor mount or rod to the fuselage. Matter of fact, start with the wing first and do the fuselage last. By then you will...

    Primo .15 size 3D Profile Build Thread

    I sure hope so Mike. I see the instructions are not fixed yet either. http://www.swanyshouse.com/primo15/Primo%2015%20build%20instructions.pdf It's been over a month now. I guess two people screwing up their kits is not enough to change the instructions yet it seems. :( And it is not like...

    Question? Which wattmeter

    Wow! That's a bargain. I'll be sure to let the folks know about them at that other site as well. Frank

    Question? Which wattmeter

    Here is another option for a watt meter. http://www.western-robotics.com/inspector_hp.html This is small enough to put in your plane if you so desire. I have not done it yet, but would like to see how it compares to doing a WOT on the ground vs. in the air. Frank

    Primo .15 size 3D Profile Build Thread

    Until the instructions are correct, I'd avoid this kit. I searched for build threads on other RC forums and have not found a good one for the Primo 15 that identified this issue. But I guess since you have read this thread, you know what to avoid now so you won't have the same problem I had for...

    Primo .15 size 3D Profile Build Thread

    I'm sure if the instructions were not screwed up I'd be done by now. But I am not talking about "these" planes, I am talking about the Primo 15. Why should I have to hunt down build threads on RC forums to be able to build the Primo 15 correctly? I don't think it is too much to ask to have...

    Primo .15 size 3D Profile Build Thread

    Sorry for being delinquent on this build thread. Once I realized I had to butcher my fuselage it kinda defeated the purpose of the thread since I was going to follow the instructions and post pics along the way. It really took the wind out of my sails so to speak. Frank

    Primo .15 size 3D Profile Build Thread

    Thanks Gary. Hopefully I can work through this and have a decent plane to fly. I have since found out that this is a "known issue" and I should have been reading another forum to learn that. Seems to me if this was a known issue, the instructions should have been corrected a long time ago...
