Must try that with my nosewheel. Currently use three rates on steering/rudder using low rate for take offs, switch to high when in flight. My paint seems like the same thin film, non adhering type as on my airliner, control surface edges already peeling -- what's with this latest paint process ? My servo wires were not pushed fully into the wing run slots so the cover tape is all bunched up. Will have to remove tape, push wires in, re tape and repaint to get it looking neat and tidy ! All else as it should be, very nice looking model (German version). Maiden next Tuesday.

I do, too, but price out the door certainly plays into it. My nicest plane is my 91" Phoenix Model ARF. As it sits now, I've probably tripled the price of the ARF itself (I'm scared to actually add up the receipts to know for sure...LOL), but the purchases were done over several months. I've never been much into modern jets, but the EFlite Su-30 and FA-18 are both looking really nice to me, albeit pricey.

I did the same, except I haven't cleaned up my cables as nicely as yours. I did zip-tie them together and pushed them behind the RX. I just finished giving the NG steering servo its own channel and have finished and tested the mix. That's a really nice feature that I'm going to retrofit into my nicer planes with NG or tail-wheel steering. I even put the NG Steering Servo on the R Knob (DX9) and can now subtrim the steering realtime.

Question. I have one of these Admiral RX600SP 6 Channel Receivers with Stability Plus Gyro sitting around that I have not used yet.
At Motion RC we carry the largest selection of electric and gas powered radio control (RC) planes, boats, buggies, cars, helicopters, tanks, trucks, and much more. We also offer a huge selection of lipo batteries, chargers, ESCs, gas engines, motors, radios, and servos. Shop our lowest prices with free shipping.
Has anyone here used it in an 80mm EDF or something similar? I’ve read good things overall, but wanted to seek out a little more info before using it in my new T-33.
Thanks!

I was all set to maiden my Shooting Star this morning -- at the club field just before sunrise, but found unusually dark gray overcast, and a gusty semi-crosswind. I thought about setting up and seeing if things improved, but then (for once) decided the smart thing to do was to turn around and go home. I'm out an hour of driving, but can proudly say I did not crash, nor damage my T-33 today, haha. Next few mornings look better.
