RE: How to repair elevator....
As is stated replace wooden connector with metal. Use a piece of about 3/32 piano wire. Bend both ends 90 degrees. insert in holes drilled in each elev. about 3 inchers apart. In other words 90 degree bends shall be 3"apart or more. Be sure both bends are perfectly parrallel to each other. This is thr most common and best method.

RE: Thunder Tiger F-54S giving me a hard time!
By you opening the air bleed hole you allowed more air to enter which increases speed. Re adjust your low speed needle, if there is one.

RE: Saito 100 Tuning Adjustments
I can not understand why your engine runs at 9000 with HS needle 6 turns out. That should be slobbering rich. Never ever had any engine run that much open.You must have air leak someplace

RE: New DX8 Trans/Receiver...what?
This is what I believe happened. Apparrently I have to blame myself for not reading more thoroughly or whatever. I didn't realize I had to bind the AR1000 separetly. I believe that caused my very unusual reaction to my Chaos which I have been flying for past 25 years on occassion. It seemed to constantly be losing control over and over. fought it for quite a while but it won.. Maybe I'm wrong here again but after reading the instructions on binding the tele and rx it seems I need more than 2 hands. By the way I wasn't able to find the button on side of ar1000 until I called HH. I surely understand that it is a daunting job to write instructions but up until the DX8 I personally have not had a problem and i've been using most every one of Jr's radios for many many years. Thanks for your responce.

RE: New DX8 Trans/Receiver...what?
Andy I have chosen to write to you since you apparently are connected with Specrtum/JR? I have been using Dx7 for 3 years and just upgraded to DX8. Am very sorry. Perhaps it's my age ( 85) but am having very hard time programing it. I see a booklet availabe for $20.00 to learn how to use DX8 and may buy it, but seems if someone can write one why can't Spectrum? Thus far I have crashed one plane which I blame on misunderstanding in use of telemetry. My question to you is that book likely to be helpful?

RE: Inflight transition to Lowspeed Flameout
My personal experience over last 60 years of running these engines has been incorrect low speed adjustments. The low speed needle is the main needle valve but seems to be ignored most. Retune.

RE: Nitro Planes Disappointment
Such a shame that so many get sucked in by advertiseing. Should have done some research before spending money.What you bought looks great but certainly not what you should have bought for a beginner,SORRY.A suitable prop should be availabe though not a duplicate of what you had. Look for someone in you area for help, a club would be great.

Aside from what's been mentioned, it appears that it is vibration related. Check the throttle connection. If it's metal link connected to metal throttle arm that may be it.

You will find answers to all your questions in the stickies. One thing about converting from glow to electric is the glow planes are built much heavier.

RE: New O.S. 46AX
It seems to me that many folks have trouble getting their engine properly tuned. It also seems that much of the trouble stems from an improperly adjusted low speed needle. THerefore if you are having trouble try adjusting low speed, usually it does not take much to get it right the problem being that newcomers do not recognize the action that indicates this.Check out the posts written on engine tuning. Actually the low speed needle is the main one that requires proper adjust.

I don't feel that you need to apoligize for your thoughts. Here are mine. There may be many good servos, rx, tx, etc out there availble at cheap prices therefor they sell well. For myself I choose to pay the bit more for known trustworthy equipment. My planes have at least a $400.00 value, therefore I try to avoid possible problems with ??? things.
