As Kieran said, your plugs are a personal choise thing. And I personally think Deans are crap. I use bullets on everything because they are so easy to solder and the design assures you will NEVER ge...

I've only been flying for just over 3 years. I have owned well over 30 aircraft, I have sold at least 8, crashed 6 (only 3 were my fault)and have 3 still in unopened boxes in my Hanger closet, I am ...

I don't recall having any issues with mine either Wayne. Here are a few shots of my Aileron installation. :D I used extra long servo arms that I bought from Hobbies in the Hills to get the throws I ...

I dont want to sound like a smart arse mate but have you checked the length of the other rods supplied, those ones look like the elevator/ rudder rods. If they are the wrong length then I recon a trip...

Don't do that Wayne, vernier the threads and let me know what size they are. I may well have a set of dies at work and can run the threads down for you, then you can just cut them off to length and a...

Im not running the pull pull system Wayne, and for memory Frank is using the same set up as me. If you look at the specs supplied they suggest mounting the rudder servo at the back to save weight, y...

I haven't put one in mine yet Wayne because the batteries etc. have been coming down colder than a blue whales left knacker... so I just haven't bothered, but your power system is very different to mi...

What servo's are you using Wayne?

West systems is good shit but a good quality 30 minute epoxy is more than sufficient. If your clearances are a little on the large side you can use a dash of talcum power (even though micro ballons ar...

I dont know the aircraft... but just a calming comment, don't get to stressed about your speedie location, unless it is working at peak load most of the time(and I'm sure it's not) don't worry too muc...

The wings should be quite firm on the spar... you don't want to any play in them at all... so if you are going to give them a sand then proceed with caution... ie: sand a little and check fit a lot. ...

Well done Wayne. I'm looking forward to see it in the air.

Nice one Wayne. I'm glad it went well.

Lookin good mate, very impresed with the progress thus far. Gazz

Looks like you are getting there George..... I think you have the paitience of a saint!!!! Gazz

I know 2 other people who are both very experienced pilots that owned this particular aircraft, they both said that they wouldnt say they were real 3D aircraft but were pretty good for what they are a...

He is a good mate of my wifes boss.... Dr Kalman Piper, small world eh!

Hi Andrew, 3 cheers for workers comp eh! Sorry about the shoulder. Im sure you are doing all the right things but if you are after a second opinion or would like it seen to sooner rather than later....

Here is another one... you better be quick at this price!!! http://www.rctrader.com/category/340/Electric/listings/7327/FMS-Giant-Trojan-Silver.html

Hi George Thanks for the pricing info. I will call you. Gazz

Hey Steve M/Kevin B You guys asked me the other week to let you know if I was thinking about selling my big Trojan. The answer was of course NO! Its one of my favorite planes. But if you want to pi...

How old is this story ?????? It states she was enjoying Easter Holidays with family on the Heath. Easter Holidays are in April....... that's a month away, seems a little strange to me. Gazz

I dont think Telemetry is a "must have" item for anyone apart from the guys that do FPV. You don't need to know how high you are, that just comes with experience. Where you are in the sky is as you ...

Thanks for the heads up BB, thouroughly enjoyed the presentation. Really nice to get an insite into the actual work that goes into making one of these beautiful aircraft.

Ive been looking at that very bird for quite some time George. It is very high on my list of " Iv'e gotta get me one of those". Twin Changesun 90's with Warhead 1850 motors running on a pair of 5000...

That is a very nice looking lady mate. Can I have some spec's please? Is it composite? And where the hell do you get one from?

Dont sell the Sebart Steve, you will never forgive yourself and trust me ... you will get there... it might take some time but you will get there... and when you do, the Seb is exactly what you what.

Well helloooo Steve..... if they are soooooo easy to sell.!!!! Why don't you go and buy a couple more..... deerrrrr ???? Then you can sell as many as you want......... doohhhh!!!!!

I would not exactly call this a thermal glider but my new hanger aquasition is definately hot. All carbon fibre that only weighs 550 grams. Gazz

I will bring it down to the field tomorrow so you can check it out. Gazz

Don't mean to be nasty guys... but thats why they were $99

Hi Kieran Just wondering if you have put the order in yet. Cheers Gazz

Hi Kieran If its not to late can you order me one of these http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXXXT9&P=ML Cheers Gazz

I agree with Steve 100% I have not owned the Durafly or the Dynam but I have flown both of them on a number of occasions, particularly with maidens to help nervous pilots with their first flight and ...

Im curious Rob What you gunna fly with now? Gazz

There are way to may variables to even think about a simple answer to that one George. A lot of manufacturers supply stall torques. But the load on your servos changes every second you are in the air...
