RE: Here's a Simple & FREE First Foam Build Plan! Cool Looking Plane Too...
Hello Gentlemen, I was thinking of building a copy of the Great Planes Extra 300s Flatout. Can you recommend where to get the correct foam brand to build it. A little confused on what to use. Thanks for the help.

RE: 4WS
Hello Chris, Luckily my local hobby store had the stock steering rods (part numbers AX30441 and AX30442 which come in packs of two). I bought the only ones they had. They did not have the stock steering screws (servo screw and tie rod screws) so I bought some stainless 6mm that were the same length. I also used the same screws to make the rods for attaching the rod ends to the steering rods. I used Traxxas T/EMaxx rod ends and balls (part #1942). They were a perfect length and are durable. I used two small washers to replace the stock spacer (part #AXA1302) between the two steering rods. Attached is a photo of the rear steering. Looks just like the front. Let me know if you have any questions.

RE: 4WS
I just converted to 4WS on my AX10. I used a Y-harness with a Futaba S3305MG in front and a JR ST126MG in the back. No need to use a reverser harness or re-wire the servos. Very slick and the truck turns on a dime compared to before. Not competing so don't care about not meeting the rules. Great truck.

RE: Dual Servo for Elevator - Extra 330
Gentlemen, Installed the EMS reverser and works like champ. Servos synched up easily. Thanks to everyone for the quick and insighful answers. If you think of anything I should be aware of please let me know. John

RE: Dual Servo for Elevator - Extra 330
Hello All, Thanks for all the great responses. I ordered a EMS servo reverser from Tower and will probably get it tonight. I won't be doing any precise aerobatics or anything so it should work I guess. I have my eye on a 9C without servos ($310 with Tower discount) down the road. Will let you guys know how it goes as soon as I get it installed. Thanks again.

Dual Servo for Elevator - Extra 330
Hello, I am setting up a CG Extra 330 77" with dual servos for the elevator as I am running a Brillelli 46 and wanted some more weight in the back. I have a Tower Hobbies 6Xm computer radio and can not figure out how to get this to work. If I program either Ch 5 or 6 as the slave servo I only get travel with the master servo in one direction. And none in the other. What I am doing wrong ? New to computer radios. Do I need to go to a 7 channel ? Thanks for the help.

RE: Lightweight 40cc Gasser
Hello gboulton, I did alot of research and narrowed my selection to the BCMA 40 because of the awesome threads (on this site) on Adam's knowledge of engines and great customer service (plus great product). If you go out to his website the 40 is discontinued. I emailed Adam and received a response within 2 hours that he was going to release a 42 and maybe a 46 ? soon (can not remember the dates and do not want to put words in his mouth). I am in mid-build right now and can not wait so that is why I posted this question as I was having a hard time finding a product comparable to price and quality as Adam's. Great guy and even invited me to come to his shop and test run the engine that I would buy.

RE: Lightweight 40cc Gasser
Very nice. I think the 46 has my name on it. Out of the three ignitions would the CH igntion be the best for the money out of the SS and fixed ignition systems ?

Lightweight 40cc Gasser
I am looking for a reliable (and powerful) lightweight 40cc gasser for a reasonable price for the 1.2-1.6 glow size aerobatic planes (Goldberg 330 77", Great Planes 300S 1/4, etc..). I was looking at the BCMA 40 from Adam but he is no longer carrying them. Could I get some recommendations ? Thanks for the help.
