    Question? What's good in cheap servos these days?

    OK, thanks for the follow up. $40 per servo is pretty good for a name brand servo :)

    Question? What's good in cheap servos these days?

    Thanks for the quick reply Rob! $40 for a 168oz servo sounds about right and I don't mind running 6 volts. Is that one of the Hitec servos that don't center though? I think I might have used them before.

    Question? What's good in cheap servos these days?

    My favorite servos are Savox and MKS are pretty damn good too but the airplane is an old Hangar 9 1/3 scale Cap 232 that I paid $100 for so I'm wondering if the cheap servos have come far enough to try them again. Last time I checked, Hobbyking was selling PowerHD and they were garbage but that...

    Bill Hempels Team Edge still operating ?

    Hi Dave, We built a 1/3 scale World Models Super Cub here for a banner towing plane to bring to Joe Nall. The World Models Cubs are a great value and they hold up really well. They aren't super duper scale like some other products but you get a ton of airplane for the money and you can fly...

    Bill Hempels Team Edge still operating ?

    from what I can recall there were quality issues with the 1/4 scale Extreme Decathlons also I had a smaller Pilot Decathlon, the 107" maybe? It was pretty darn nice and I'm sniffing around for another in my local area. Building is always an option, Marcus Model Factory in Brazil makes probably...

    New Product some photots of 60cc Pitts Charllenger testing

    First post says "prototype" so some rough edges are to be expected. Nice to see a new giant scale biplane model. :)

    Wanted 3DHS Aspera or EF 48" Vanquish

    Before I go asking Santa for a Vanquish I figured it would be worth seeing if there are any floating around out there not getting the love they deserve. Thanks!

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    My four month wing rebuild is into its 12th month and the first wing is done! I haven't flown any RC and haven't built any RC in months but I'm getting closer to getting back into the shop. Hope you guys are all doing well, lots of pretty trick looking stuff going on out there. :) I've never...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    So, I have to ask, at what point is a built up profile not a profile anymore? o_O

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    I fixed a friend's Hangar 9 1/4 scale Super Cub after he dislocated the firewall in a minor landing mishap. I was surprised it was barely being held in there in the first place. What's worse is that it required a ton of nose weight with a DLE 30 before the incident so they could have...

    Joe Nall 2018, CANCELLED!

    Forecast for the rest of the week is bad so they're sending everyone home and closing shop as of tomorrow, Tuesday, May 15. If you're heading there, turn around and go home. Sucks for sure but Mother Nature always wins. :(
