    I agree with you! Maybe invest in some decal covers when they become available.

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

    Thanks for the heads up. I’m hoping there won’t be a ton of stress on the tiller arm. Thought about doing the Fuel tubing trick on it instead. The carbon is too stout, I agree. Not a whole lot of any give... we’ll see how it holds up!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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

    Shame on me for not posting in here regularly. Putting together my 540T EXP, installed a TDRC 20-40cc tailwheel... about 3/8” shorter than the original tailwheel, but looks a bunch cooler. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    This is kind of turning into a radio debate... But I give in!!! I want Hitec resolution and pricing, with a 18SZ or 12X interface, and Spectum PowerSafe Receivers with satellite Rx's. Maybe I just need to go back to the late 90's and just buy crystals for whatever Rx I wanted.... :thumbsdown: I...

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    16F right now, plus winter solstice = 6 hours of daylight. Isn't even enough time to top charge the batteries, and put on warm clothes!! The good news is the air is still and the sky is blue, quite graceful flying weather if it wasn't for the temps!

    Futaba SBus Questions

    That's what I'm thinking too. Might be an excuse for me to upgrade my 8FG to the 16/18SZ so I can have more plug and play channels.

    Futaba SBus Questions

    Maybe someone can help me figure this out. Can you use any programmable servo for SBUS or do they have to be SBUS servos? Here is what I am thinking about doing: Futaba R6208SB is running out of channels to plug into. I'm curious if I can program two HS-7955TG (all surfaces using this servo)...

    News Great Planes dealers beware

    So I've been hearing rumors that Great Planes is loosing vendors (ie: Traxxas) quite quickly and the support has been dropping off as well. My LHS was thinking that GP is not going to come out on top, but Hobbico is a huge company so hopefully they get their heads out of the sand and back in the...
