RE: Painting Foam
No Problem! BTW you really do not need an AirBrush! These paints go on really well with w Foam brush. and at .44 cents a bottle you can mix any color you want. just be carful when you mask with the blue tape.it wants to run under it! Let us know how you make out! Merlin

Do you mean clean the plane to get Grass or dirt off it? I've never had any trouble with the paint coming off. I just sprayed my E-starter with windex and rubbed it with a paper towel. No problem and the paint has been on there over 2 years! Merlin

Hitec lazer 6 or flash 5 sx????
Im getting ready for the next step in Electric park flying. I will be setting up a GWS Corsair and will be using Hitec 55 servos. My question is which rx set up would be the best for me. small park flyers are what I'am into now and i really dont need more than these Transmitters provide. The price rangs seems about the same give or take a few $$$.I guess it boiles down to computer or not. Thanks for your input.

RE: FORCED OUT OF THE SKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was flying right seat in the BlackHawk that night! This guys cub was swatted down like a Mosquito. It would never have made it near the intake with the rotor downwash anyway. He also failed to mention the 2 E-5s with the M-60s on each side.Don't fear your country unless it asks you to give up freedom. Enjoy your hobby and thank the people who keep you safe.

RE: wing dragon
I could not get another battery locally so my 1st flight will be kind of short. The person at the factory who installed the elevator control horn put it on so tight it broke thru the styrofoam.It was so loose it would have come off with little use. I moved the location alittle to the right and will 5 min. epoxy it in place. I charged the battery for 4 hours and ran the motor until it was dead. only 7and.1/2 min. I will charge it and do another run to break in the motor and see if the battery lasts any longer.With any luck I will be able to fly tuesday wx permitting,I'll let ya know!

RE: wing dragon
I ordered a Wing Dragon from Hobby Lobby on 9/16.It arrived on 9/18,I did not even have time to get 8 AA battries. The weather here in N.Y. is 20 to 30 mph gusts for the next few so no flying.Too bad i have a mowed field about 400 yards by 150 yards just waiting for me,i just have to miss the socker nets. The plane came with buff (cream colored) tx abd a 7 cell 1000 amh pack. NOW the questions start************************************* I know te local RC shop will have extra battery packs but i'll bet the clips won't fit. I'll have to change the clip in the plane ,charger and orig.pack to get everything work together. Unless there is a better way. WHERE IS THE CG ON THIS PLANE? There is no mention of it at all. other than 4 hours to start how long should a battery be charged with the included charger(until i get a peak)? last it came with the control rods in the center holes on the servos...what holes do i use on the rudder and elavator, I'am new to this electric stuff, I have not smashed a plane for at least 20 years,but that was 1/2 a gas[:)] thanks for your help guys John
