    BlueBird HB 50B servos

    This is borrowed from Chads website but you can see how servo wires are arranged on the pins- this picture in particular is for a 3 way servo connection, so it's a busy wire job: Otherwise there is one pin dedicated for each servo wire, the normal green MPX connectors have only 6 pins so...

    Woo Hoo! No FAA intrusion.....maybe

    Talking with some of the FAA volunteer reps, they have said that us modelers who fly our toy airplanes at our own private airfields or at AMA clubs or events or whatever are of very little concern to the FAA. We know the safety aspects and most of us actively engage in them, we're not dummies...

    Power boards/expanders really needed?

    A lot of modern receivers have much higher current capabilities and some do have their own battery management systems built in so there is little need for a power expansion system. The system I like to use is PowerBox SRS (Serial Receiver System) components with a pair of single line style...

    The Banshee shows up extremely well in the sky and against light backgrounds. The bottom color scheme contrasts the top so much that it makes it simple to tell up from down. If you're thinking of doing smoke then definitely go big, but if you have a 50cc then I'd say keep it conservative on the...

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

    False alarm. Someone installed the turnbuckles on the ailerons improperly (the outboard turnbuckles needed to be installed on the inboard side). Got everything all dialed, just had to dremel the ball links a bit to make them fit. Crisp as a fresh bag of chips, ready for the weekend :D

    Sonofagun.... Somehow my Tower order for my new ball links got mis-shipped to a different address so they have to be re-forwarded to the right address. Had them sent to work and was expecting them today, well now they won't be delivered until tomorrow when we will be closed :( So then I picked...

    Assembly: EF 110" Yak-54 V2

    I'd say take that refund and get yourself another to be sure ;) Worst case scenario they would probably do the same thing again if it winds up being a fluke, but with how many positive reviews there are out there with that engine right now I'd say chances are that one particular was just a...

    Assembly: EF 110" Yak-54 V2

    What problem was this? There's probably half a dozen of them down here that all run without a problem, and all of the other guys who use them haven't reported any issues :confused:
