    JR Loyalty Trade In Program for DSM2/DSMX Radios to new DMSS Systems

    I wonder how amiable the split truly was? I would think jr would have made all of their transmitters module based and paid spektrum their due for a couple of years so guys could transition... I bet horizon cut them off at the knees.

    JR Loyalty Trade In Program for DSM2/DSMX Radios to new DMSS Systems

    Nice that they are trying to do something. But its too hard to write off all of my non compatible receivers. The module version of the 11 channel would work if you could buy a dxmx module from someone reputable... I dont have a warm fuzzy using an orange module from hobbyking on. 10k plane...

    3W-100 Looking for some advice

    Chances are it will run without too much messing around. I would clean the carb in place -people screw up the reed block cage up by overtightening them so they warp. I would mark the needles, pull them, and pull the plates off the carb and give it a good spray down with carb cleaner. Put it...

    Let's talk about Avgas (100LL)

    I havent had problems with avgas. Biggest benefit is it doesnt leave nasty crud in the carb after it sits for several months. The god knows what additives and seasonal blends they can put in car gas can make every fillup a retuning excercise. Good luck truly finding no alcohol car gas.. Avgas...

    Engine Gurus Unite -> I need HELP!

    Has the motor ever run well? I would think the problem is on the ignition side. Most likely the switch/battery since you tried a different box. You have chased a lot of rabbits but never fully checked all of the basics. When you flip it you can tell if it has compression. Did you ever bypass...

    Anyone ever see a DA like this ?

    Usually the policy is if  they wash up on shore is you can keep it, or the base will send someone out to pick it up if you dont want it.. Plenty of Press releases stating this from range public affairs officers all over both coasts.  And on the land based ranges there are usually contractors...

    I have 10 or 11 flights on mine. My door blew apart due to lack of glue.  Thankfully i found all of the pieces.   My firewall compressed with the 5/8" diameter standoffs i was using and got loose.     I ended up adding some fender washers and thin ca  to stop the ply from compressing more.  It...

    It would be fun to do some formation flying! I figured those tin tabs would give some trouble eventually. On my old nosen citabria and on a giant telemaster i did for my dad i used single sided nylon cable tie downs. The cable ties are a great idea and wont take a trip to the hardware...

    Thanks! Nice job on yours! I worked late friday night to finish everything off and ended up moving the receiver and had to redo the wiring as i had made all the extensions to length. My windshield was severely deformed when I unwrapped it at about 11 on friday. Judicious...

    Just moving the tank around a bit to finish locating the throttle servo. All other rigging is done. Then tie in the batteries and receiver. Waiting on a couple new switches. But will fly it friday or saturday either way. I may go for a pitts muffler for the bme. The side dump is close to...

    Which Radio System Is Best?

    There are a couple of others that have had a stick break off. I like the jeti, it has the best protocol, but it has too many user software things you can configure for the average modeler that can result in a smoking hole. I think it needs to mature a bit. I dont want a new...

    A buddy of mine who has won best film covering job at toledo a couple of times gave a thumbs down on the covering. Its ultracote like covering but maybe not 100% ultracote. Seems "softer" scratches easier and seems to have more shrink but also more give. Mine wrinkled again after shrinking...
