    Redwing 89" Extra 330SC

    My plane shipped direct from China... And it showed on the box. All the corners were rounded, and there were a few tears and punctures in the outer layer of the cardboard. Inside, this is how the plane arrived: The small attachment tab for one elevator was broken, and I was surprised that the...

    Servo setup: EPA, current, and linkages

    I think it was 3dbandit who reminded me that the arms should be perpendicular (90 degrees) from the HINGE LINE not the servo. This will give you the best geometry. Use your radio's EPA (End Point Adjustment) or Travel Adjust to adjust the max points of deflection, so that both sides match and...

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    Presence (or lack of) a control tower is NOT a determinative factor if it's classified as an airport or not. One really good resource for locating airports around the country is located here: http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/digital_products/dafd/ Obviously I'm just a pilot...

    Redwing RC Extra 330SC 50-60CC

    I think it's because they're being shipped individually from overseas. The ones that Tim is bringing in on the container will probably be fine.

    Would a noon flight-demo at an event with a raffle constitute "for money"?

    RCCSKJ "black" power distribution board

    From all the bench testing it's pretty nice! It's going into my RedwingRC 89" Extra (arriving in a few days according to EMS). I really like the digital display and the audible warning and flashing light when something is wrong with ignition voltage.

    3DHS 60" Yak-55

    Yes, they're too much, and way to big. You'd need mini size servos, and the Hitec HS-7245MH are about the best all around that are available. 6s is more efficient, and can produce a little more power (watts) at the same or lower motor temps.

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Definitely cut holes, they're especially important on any electric. On 6s, even more so as it's a little hotter running setup than an 8s. Here is how mine is cut and I'm running 6s
