New Post | flydiver Today 03:13 PM | First make sure the motor shaft is not bent and the motor is OK. Pranging it that hard may make a motor replacement necessary. A 4mm collet adapter will work. There are various brands so it's hard... (20 views, 1 replies) | |

New Post | JoeMamma Today 02:58 PM | CHEECH, Glad to hear you're getting into RC flying ! I have a GP Corsair. This is definitely NOT a trainer. Do yourself a favor and pick up a low-cost, high-wing, trainer-type aircraft first. I... (33 views, 3 replies) | |

New Post | flydiver Today 02:55 PM | If you didn't take care of the batteries for that long a time they may be basically 'dead' so the motor is hitting low voltage cut-off (LVC). They will appear to have decent voltage resting but not... (32 views, 2 replies) | |

New Post | Lieutenant Loughead Today 02:49 PM | Here's the straight scoop -- you don't NEED any down thrust, or right thrust to make your airplane fly. As a matter of fact, the airplane will fly GREAT, with the motor shaft centered on the cowl... ... (41 views, 4 replies) | |

New Post | easytiger Today 02:26 PM | I got burned on the lipo thing, too. Never got replacements, never got my money back, got the runaround until it was too late to do a chargeback. Easily cancelled out all the "savings" I had as a... (2,270 views, 62 replies) | |
