RE: Rookie Canard/ JR 10x programming...Help please !
[quote]ORIGINAL: highhorse [quote]ORIGINAL: highhorse I'm a Futaba guy and don't speak JR. My bud is a JR guy who speaks JR fairly well but is still scrathching his head over an issue. He wants to use the canards with normal throws for most of the flight AND use them as airbrakes for landing. So far he has figured out how to do one or the other, but not both. If someone could give me the recipe for his 10x, I will pass it along. Thanks ! [/quote] They say that acceptance is the first step to recovery...Long time no see there, my friend !

And yes Lewis I think I might have to slow Jr down a bit I'm afraid hes going to make me look bad before to long...[:D].

I wish Springfield wasn't so far away from where you live so we could come there and fly with you. Your fields all sound very nice...Maybe we'll make it there some day!

RE: Not A Jet But This Is Not Good!
[quote]ORIGINAL: jclittle [quote]ORIGINAL: A10FLYR [quote]ORIGINAL: jclittle And why is this on the jet forum? [/quote] And why not? Saftey is all pilots concern...everyone should see this stupidity and learn from it. It CAN happen when we least expect it. [/quote] First off, it was posted in the jet forum and was moved to the club house...Saftey is a big concern I agree totally. If people are so STUPID they need to see this type of STUPIDITY in order to learn from it, there is a much more serious problem. Do you really beleive some people need to see this before they realize it might not be a good idea to fly near a skydiver? ''Ohh gee, I had no idea I could hit a skydiver until I saw this video!'' The jet forum is about jets, they do not need bad press that is unrelated to jets. Some yahoo is going to see this and say RC jets should be banned, not just stupid people who did something like this but RC altogether. I really do not think the RC community needs to show the general public how dangerous an RC plane can be in the hands of a moran. [/quote] JC, You don't need to be a jerk about it! The reason I put it originally in the jet forum is because I am a jet pilot and wanted my jet pilot friends to see it. I even made the remark that it was not jet specific but don't neccessarily agree with moving it because safety wise it applies to all rc pilots. It was probably your complaining that got it moved...

RE: Turbine oil
Do some studying up on Mobile DTE oil. I did and I will no longer use the dangerous stuff that has always been used. The "normal" oil is not very human friendly. The DTE is way cheaper and from the reports I have heard here at RCU works just as well as the other stuff. Read up on it and see what you think?

It works great in the Wren as well as all other turbines as I have read here. I wouldn't let "Wilcox" determine which jet oil is safe for you to handle and which is not.... It didn't take me long to swich to Mobile DTE once I read all of the cautions to us humans from the normally used oil! Pretty scary stuff.
