Manta, would you mind posting a link to the plug and fly MX2? If it's the one I'm thinking about I don't think you really need to change the servos just because they don't have metal gears or are on...

The Super and cheaper MX2 comes as an ARF airframe doesn't it? with out any servos in it as all? the best servos to put in that airframe would be hitec 5085s or the new High voltage version of t...

No worries mate I'll try and remember to bring it down tomorrow I'll have the boys with me, I have to go to the Fiberglass place and get some more PVA mould release so I will drop in on the way

It is very much a try it and see thing, but the question is do you really need it? I had spoilerons set up on the Turnigy 9X with Dynamite no1, but the way the TX handled the mixing was not to m...

If it's piano wire its pretty tough stuff to cut threads on You'll want to make sure you have a HSS die if it is, Then again it might be just soft wire anyboadies guess??

What size thread is on the rods Wayne? and what length do you need? HK sells various sized threaded push rods

After getting one of these the other day. All I can say is that: The final word, as far as transmitters go, is TARANIS Here's a link describing some of it features.........................

hey Thanx 'tipper :) I've put some legs on the mould to make it a little easier to lay up a few more fuses. They are just cut from 19mm thick ply wood and bonded on the outside of the mould w...

Very good point Wingtipper !! Any plugs that are on old lipo packs should not be de-soldered and re-used !! and any male plugs on ESCs that draw high current should be changed from time to time...
