RE: Hobby King Delivers quickly again
Why is it that some of the folks who support HK are attacked . Their attacks become almost personal and demeaning at times. Why is that do you suppose?

RE: Hobby King Delivers quickly again
IN reply to Scale Dail Tower hobbies is reselling what they buy from China. You are fooling yourself if you think buying from a local HS or Tower is any diffrent than hobby King. Wake up and enjoy the savings and place an order

RE: Hobby King Delivers quickly again
I am sorry for the misunderstanding. I too am careful as to how I spend on this hobby as to why I look to RC Universe for advice but more and more are people complaining about every thing . It hurts RCU. more and more like others I find myself going to RC Group

RE: Hobby King Delivers quickly again
To Countilaw and Seamus . If you want to go to the local shop and pay twice as much as at HK I could care less but remember everything they are selling comes from China as well. as much as the two of you cry about Hobby king I am sure they hate to see an order from you both. Some adviice that you will be treated as well as you treat those. I couldn't stand the crying about every little thing that you bring to the field.You might try another hobby

RE: hobbyking issues warbird charger power supply
I like RC Universe because of its wealth of information to pursue this hobby I love But there seems to be a handful that want to contribute only the negitve. The readership is going to RC Group where the discussions are more positive in nature. This should not be a site where those that complain about everything in their daily lives to use this readership for it. I hope all agree.

RE: Hobby King Delivers quickly again
thanks plane jim for the reply. We need to be more positive on this site and not so negative . If this can happen more will contribute and the site will be much improved. RC universe has the foundation for a great hobby/sport. when I hear all the whinning i can't help but think they bring it to the field. Its not anything I wan't to listen to.

RE: a little big for 1/2A but 15 size
If everyone that decides to post a For Sale item in the classifieds here on RC Universe posts a thread for a Heads Up on what they are selling then this concept for swapping ideas and getting in some cases much needed advice will become no more than a Items for sale site. These Heads Up are becoming more frequent and I feel the Moderators should remove them. When I see these I will continue to ask that they be removed. Enough said on my part.

The For Sale postings are for selling and the Threads are for sharing ideas and helping each other out. If Something is to be sold it does not belong here. I appreciate your opinion even though it is incorrect.

Thanks for all the replies. Everyone is saying the heat gun is the key but it sure is time consuming. Thanks for your help. It is examples like this where everyone is so helpful that makes this such a great sport. Thanks again batdog ( the plane will be worth the effort for sure )

RE: Not happy with Great Planes
It looks like they are trying to keep you happy and work to resolve the problems. On these ARFs you will find that you may have to work on them some but they are still a lot less effort than a kit build. Great Planes is a great company and they are showing it by trying to satisfy your concerns.

Trainer cord buddy box
Does using a trainer cord with buddy box shorten the transmitting distance to the plane? This is for the 2.4 system. We have had a couple of glitches using the trainer cord when the plane gets far away.
