Count me in Perd,

I have 4 different electrics right now and a slope glider.

I think an R/C airplane forum would be interesting and fun.

My uncle scratch built a Luscombe 8E 1/4 scale. Hasn't had its maiden yet but Sunday is looking likely to be the day. Drew it from the factory 3-views.

I just finished my F-104 about a month ago.  This weekend im unsealing the box to my BVM F-100D Super Sabre... can't wait!  I love these classic jets.. they fly SO well as RC TUrbine birds.
Probably going with a Jetcat P-120 for the F-100

Im pretty sure skorpion is talking from his rectum at this point. I have seen many inaccuracies by him in this thread and things that make him seem like he is out of the loop.

LOL was wondering that myself..
i know, and even if it was 2 stroke nitro a supercharger gives you LESS power on a 2 stroke that small it blows all your gas out the tail pipe before it can be burned.
only a moron would use Dolby positioning in a game.

I personally am not a jet guy. Just too much for my poor little piggy. I like warbirds and anything scale. My next unveiling will be a Cessna C-37 Airmaster. Hopefull will have had its maiden by thanksgiving.

As far as I can tell, we have 8 so far. Need a few more before I go for the forum.

Love me some warbirds as well, I have a Byron F4U-4, a Top Flite Giant P-51, converted to a B model, and a Yellow Aircraft P-38L...

how do you have a supercharger on a electrical car?
:bhead was looking at the electrical car's battery when typing to see the charge time. it was a gas car that had the supercharger.


was wondering how i put a supercharger made for a gas engine into a few wires.



EDIT: forgot to mention this-anyone here have a F4 Phantom RC jet? those are cool.

Reduction drive on F4U? My uncle's Giant 51 will have DA-85, Solo Props 4-bladed paddle, Keleo exhaust, Robart tracts, BVM sequencing valve for doors, and Aerotech Canopy/Cockpit set.

It will be a winner :)

wow, looks nice, especially the sundowner trim scheme, really is something else. i was expecting a green/brown/black camo pattern or maybe a straight silver with the USAF emblem on the side/wings with a red nose/tail.


EDIT: got any idea on how fast it will go?
