25% Bill Hempel Xtreme Decathlon
I am almost done with mine. Nice plane but has some shortcomings on the first run. My list is as follows! Struts didn't fit right, think i got two left or two right rear struts. None of the lengths were correct. Covering is just ok or worse to me compared to some of the other arfs. Glue is a...- 2walla

Bowed Carden 40% wing panel
If the skins were glued properly you will not get the bow out. Soaking in water will only make it moldy. Cover it and go fly, throw it out, or add balsa and start sanding..- 2walla

Spektrum rx advice
They all work fine, any seven or 8 channel receiver in the current lineup is fine. You could y harness the second power source too. I generally try to avoid plugging anything into the bind plug port. If you do i would trim the signal wire off. I have seen a couple of so called smart switches...- 2walla

Jeti DS-16 Talk, ideas and help
I have been thinking long and hard about buying one too. I dropped my 12x last weekend at an event and it quit working. I had my old 9303 up in the cabinet in my motorhome and was flying after a quickcharge and a rebind. Makes me think twice about changing protocols a bit as i will need to...- 2walla

SleepyC on FG
Nope. It should take it. Poor design on the aeroworks cub. First they are 4-5 lbs overweight for their size. Second they made it strong enough to fly without struts. Third, you add struts to it that are the weak point When they let go, the shock loading blows the top off due to the sudden...- 2walla

IMAA is no longer...
As i recall they helped kill off the QSAA years ago which didnt make me happy. Though it is sad to see the AMA SIG die off as we will need someone to keep the AMA from selling giant scale flyers down the road to the FAA when the time comes.- 2walla

Old time Fav Slime Plane!
I still have a few hanging in the garage, one of my all time favorites was a profile hots with an asp 40. Flew it for years. My suburban had lots of tiny paint peel spots from doing touch and goes off the roof.- 2walla

Good beginner jet?
I looked around a bit before taking the plunge into jets and ended up getting a CARF tutor. And i was smooth enough to talk Paul eagon into getting one too after his viper went in due to quality Chinese craftsmanship. I have been on the road too much this summer to get it done but i did get...
