Write your reply.

assistant: Hey racers!
   Has anybody seen, heard about, or personally experienced Novak One-Touch
   equipped ESCs (Mostly Hammer Pro's) sticking wide open?  Mine has begun
   to to this after about 6 months of reliability.  Where I frequent, we've
   had a number of other Hammer Pro ESCs display the same problem.  The
   glitch goes away after we turn the car off, and back on again.  Two weeks
   ago, we even had one catch fire,  IN STOCK!  These problems are happening
   to EXPERIENCED racers, NOT newbies, the guy with the fire is even a Novak
   sponsored driver.
   I'd be interested in hearing your experiences.
   P.S.  This problem has shown it's face on Futaba, Airtronics, JR, and KO
   radio systems, using AM and FM.  Even PCM encoded systems (mine included)
   are not immune, so the radio has been eliminated from the problem.

 Please disregard my earlier post to you re: the Enya 120.  "Snail mail"

 was a VK Navajo...flown with a Kraft radio...powered by OS 50...how
 about that...many moons ago.  What happened to VK models ?? - they
 certainly had some good designs and quality was very high - I enjoyed
 the Navajo until radio interference got me - the old 27 MHZ systems were
 not that good.  I'll be in touch with you (now that I have the phone #)
 when I get to the Citabria - probably in two-three weeks.  TTYL - Roger

 you in some time - I guess we both are slowing down (gr).
The Citabria is 80" wingspan and a very large fuselage - it's too big
to ship by UPS and truck freight would likely be around $200-300 - too
expensive.  We have agreed to meet halfway - somewhere in NC - and make
a transfer.  We'll each have to drive about 400 miles round-trip.

Perhaps then it might not sink so easy. Or pehaps put a hull under it and
make the wheels paddles. Then you can install a few servos on it and sit on

to work really well. A year or so at Sam's Club I got a gallon of CAL-
PRO cleaner & degreaser, it was like $8.00 or $12.00 a gallon. Now
before you say whoa that's expensive let me say that it's a consentrate,
you only have to mix about 4 oz. to a gallon to get a real good plane
cleaner. I use fuel with a castor oil mix and it will cut that goop off
with one application. Use it 50/50 and use it to degrease your auto
engine!(G) Full strength this stuff would probably peel paint(G). I've
been using it for quite a while and it works well on both monocoat and
painted surfaces, even at higher levels, I started out using a pretty
strong solution but have found that the weaker ones work just as well.
