    So I got a Nitro Plane as well :)

    Looks to be in good condition. As long as there aren't any cracked ribs in the wing or cracked bulkheads in the fuselage you should be fine. The covering looks like it just needs a good ironing. If you need more the brands you look for are usually like Monokote or Oracover. You can use CA...

    Puffed up Lipo.

    Generally an excessively puffed LiPo presents a serious hazard. If it vents then you’ll likely destroy your car. Or garage. Or basement. Best not to use it. To dispose of it most of the guys I fly with will hook a turn signal or brake light bulb to it and let it drain down for a few days...

    Any suggestion to the FPV beginners?

    I'm not sure you’re going to find much more flight time no matter. The issue is battery weight. I have a Tiny 6 and a US65. Both are 65mm. It’s really difficult to run anything bigger than a 250mah battery in them. The size difference between a 250 and 500 mah battery is significant. The...

    Axial Yeti Kit giveaway, banter thread!

    Hi WoodiE. I got notice of your tag on the OP and I just had to come back for a look. Things up here are some old same old. What I thought was a year or two of transition is stretching out longer and longer. But hopefully I'll be back in good shape soon. I keep staring at all my RC's...

    I think I'm going to come back to the forum just so I can win this. Then let everyone scream about the contest being rigged! (old timer's reference)

    And today it's...

    It's nice to see a birthday thread for me has devolved into a Hottest Babe contest. Hell yeah! Hi guys! Yeah, it's been a while. I've fallen off the map for a bit taking some time to get my stuff straight in the real world. Still have my RCs sitting there yelling at me every time I walk by...

    Painting new body

    Don't know exactly what body you're using, but most bodies come with window masks only for the paint up. then there are external decals for the lights, grill, window frames maybe. Door handles and stuff. Badges. Sponsors. things like that. If the body doesn't have them you either have the...

    Installing a new servo - how to put servo horn in right position?

    Maybe so. But if you ever saw my driving you'd be rethinking a way to install one on the throttle....

    Installing a new servo - how to put servo horn in right position?

    Step 1 is most important. After you mount the servo, plug it in to the receiver and power up the system. This will ensure that the servo shaft is centered. Once you have the shaft centered you can eyeball the angle of the servo arm to get it into a relatively close position as the old one...

    Receiver Hump Pack

    Do the obvious thing first. Plug the hump pack directly into the receiver. Don't use the switch. That will take the switch issue directly out of the equation. If it doesn't twitch then you know it's the switch. If it does twitch then it could be the receiver. If you've damaged the antenna...

    How long can it sit?

    I assume you mean the airbrush is sitting and loaded between coats of the same color. If you're using water based paints it won't be a big issue. First, use a hair dryer to dry your coats. A heat gun is way too hot and will melt and deform the plastic and possibly bubble the paint. A hair...

    ...and today it's CANDYMAN

    LOL guys! Really late to this party! But I'm alive and doing ok. Been in big transition but the dust is settling. Haven't had a ton of time to RC but have been going through my boxes getting the jones going again now that the snow has melted. Thanks for the b-day wishes. You may see a...

    RCTalk VRC Race Club (VRCT)

    This might just get me back into VRC. I've been off it for a few years. I had a bunch of fun with the on-road but just kinda got bored of it. Plus I had a really slow PC so it was a pain to run. But if the off-road is coming, I really want to be in on that. And I suspect we may get a better...
