RE: Futaba GYA351 setup help?
On a side note, are there any counterfeit GYA351 gyro's on the market like there was with the 401's? I ask this because I thought the 351 was discontinued but new ones keep showing up on ebay.

I have the model name and the gear selection attached to wave files. When I turn my radio on, it says "L-39" then "gear down" as they are the first two wave files in the sequence list where the wave files are stored.

RE: Share Your Thoughts....
Todd Although I am not a fan of restocking fees, I would expect that a product that has been unpackaged, and test fitted to the point the it was obvious, I would expect a restocking fee. If they were faulty or I ordered the wrong items (and they were stock items) returned in original packaging, I would not expect to pay a restocking fee. I think you need to be consistent with your policies and not selective of when to enforce.

RE: Comp ARF BAE Hawk build thread
[quote]ORIGINAL: afterburner I would like to give a big thumbs up to Erwin at Airtech in Germany. Last Friday I was working on installing the nose gear on the Hawk and realized I had some blow by in the cylinder. I figured I would send an email to Airtech before calling it a night because I didn't know how to take these cylinders apart and maybe they could give me some info. No more than ten minutes later I get an email on my phone from Erwin and we go back and forth with a few emails and he wants a picture of the cylinder. A few more back and forths on Saturday and he says he'll send me a new cylinder. Monday he emails that it is being sent out. This morning(two days later) Fedex shows up with my cylinder and a few other items for my trouble! I am very impressed and if I can give Airtech any of my business in the future I will. I can't even get someone to answer the phone or an email at Robart and this company is sending me a replacement air cylinder from Germany via two day FedEx. Marty [/quote] I have had the same experience. I would get a reply to an email within minutes to the point I had to think to myself....WOW!.

RE: Dreamworks UPS Shipping Rate Reduction!
Todd I am sure UPS is great for the guys in the USA and rates may be better going to international customers but.....UPS is one of the worst companies for shipping into canada. They usually have a high brokerage fee in addition to any duties and taxes. On the discounted UPS shipping, you will always get hit with their brokerage fee. Many times it is higher than the cost of the goods. Compare that to when using USPS, items pass through without any issue and only occasionally is there any taxes due. Never is there any high brokerage fee. See here http://www.rccanada.ca/rccforum/showthread.php?t=139455

CWHM Lancaster Bomber damaged in flight.
The lancaster bomber from CWHN in Hamilton took off today around noon for the first flight of the year. This was a crew training flight after routine maintenance over the winter. After take off, and a few minutes into the flight, approximatley a 6 foot section of the wingtip folded. This was outboard of the aileron. The crew returned to Hamilton and declared an emergency landing. The landed was successful without any further damage. The folded section of the wing lay on top of the remaing wing. The bomber was quickly returned to the museum hanger that closed due to the significanace of the emergency. It is now under investigation.

RE: what caused the turbine jet crash??!!!!!
[quote]ORIGINAL: Jack Diaz Gary and Mike: the roll direction was never mentioned by Lenhard. So, I wouldn't jump to atribute disorientation as a cause. Althought an interesting discussion, I don't think it is relevant for the crash analysis. The plane dived and rolled by itself. If it was battery system related (as I presume), there is a usefull lesson to be learned by all of us

RE: what caused the turbine jet crash??!!!!!
[quote]ORIGINAL: kimhey That sudden/abrupt nose down change from straight and level flight at what seems like way over stall speed, outrules stall in my opinion. if only one flap did lower, I believe the airplane would start a roll only, not pitch down so violently. To me, it looks more like a total signal loss. Have you tested the RX batteries under load? The forces on the flaps can be quite substansial.

[quote]ORIGINAL: flyinfool1 1. What Andy described with only one flap coming down. Could have been servo came unplugged, linkage broke, or servo failed. If it was a case of only one flap coming down, it was the left flap that failed. [/quote] It appeared to roll to the right, suggesting the right flap failed.

RE: what caused the turbine jet crash??!!!!!
I do not think there is enough information. For example, was this your fourth flight of the day? Or the fourth flight on the aircraft? Did you do a control surface check before the flight and if so, were the ailerons and flaps working correctly? I usually do a flight control check, where I put a slight load on the surface with one finger. This not only shows the surfaces moving in theright direction, but will tell you how good the gear train is. For example, if you had a bouncy landing the flight before, you could have induced a heavy load on the gear train. One tooth could be compromised. A slight load could detect the bad tooth.

How many turnes out is the standare setting for this screw Bert [/quote] I believe the valve on your propane bottle controls flow only and does not regulate pressure. It is very easy to put too much propane in. YOu will need to just crack open the valve until it ignites then open it up further.

Too much propane. Try using a pressure regulated valve on your propane bottle. Dreamworks sells a good one.

Gyros on ailerons with crow
What is a good gyro that can be used on ailerons that would allow crow? I guess you would need a gyro with dual inputs and output. I know some will say to just use it on one ail, but I would like both.
