assistant: As a matter of fact, yes to all but the scrap lexan. (And there might be
some of it as well, but I'd have to sift through to see.)
Radio is a Futaba Magnum Sport (Pistol) w/receiver and old style futaba
ESC (won't stand up to a hot engine), receiver, and possibly a servo or
two if I can sort through the junk and find 'em. $50.00 and it's yours.
The Dremel is actually a "Blue Point" (Snap-On) brand with case and
asst. bits, don't really care that much about parting with it, but money
does talk.
Anything else you might want? I have a few "scratch built" boats laying
around, some odd r/c car parts, etc.

It is possible to reverse the direction of throw inside the transmitter. To
put it in the most simple of terms, there are two or three wires on the 'pot'
inside the radio that controls the throw of the stick (or wheel/trigger). It
is possible to switch the outside wires and effectively reverse the direction
of throw. You're right, it's not for the absolute beginner, but it is
ossible
for someone who knows how to wire an ESC for example. It's not necessary to
o
inside the servo itself to make this mod. Note that if you change the radio
gear to another car in the future, you may have to go back inside and change
it all back again.
It was covered in more detail in RCCA, not sure the issue, but it has been
within the last 18 months. (Pretty sure, anyway).

assistant: Hi there Nigel
Hows the weather down there. A little cool I would think *8-}.
The plane has a 60 inch wing span and full length airelons.
Is 45 inches long.
From memory when I built it it was meant to be between 4 to 6 pounds, well
I hit it right on the button at 5 pounds.
Bright Yellow with Red trimmings (Good colours to see easy).
Yes this did happen about two years ago.
A well performed Belly flop.  The nose gear folded back and took most of the
front out and the bottom plate and cracked the wing 1/3 from the end.
This all has been rebuilt like new (no weak points and no extra weight)
and the wing is constructed in two harlves, so I rebuilt the broken half
completely.
One of the best Trainers I have seen flying, not to light or to heavy and
Flys straight too.
I have been trying to send a picture direct to This BBS but it won't let me
o
this, sorry but at this point no picture.
It is very neat and good condition. Very presentable.
Cheers Jim.

assistant: hey there, from here down on the coast, east coast that is!!! here is a super
easy way to do the batteries safe!!! go to your local auto store and buy some
1156 bulbs, wire them up to a harness to match your pack, should have at
least six bulbs to do it right. put your digital volt meter in the line and
plug it to your batteries. when the volt meter shows about .75v per cell,
take the bulbs off, let the pack cool then charge away. dischargers on those
cheapoo chargers are first class junk. get yourself a good all round charger,
like an astroflight 115, it will do 4-9 cells and has adj current, plus it's
relativly cheap
good luck
