RE: Sukhoi Su-26M BNF by ParkZone
advantage hobby had it listed as ready on the 10th but they have changed it now to the 16th... i hope it's an accurate date cause i've been waiting for 3 months now at least since i thought it was originally being released...

RE: help trying to take off a Corsair with bigger motor...
very true... i wasn't sure how the prop would respond to me taking a drill to it... i thought about using something else to go between the space and tighten it up for me... i'm gonna try to come up with a 'fix' before i head out to buy another set of props...

RE: help trying to take off a Corsair with bigger motor...
i figured out what the issues is... the prop doesn't fit... the prop isn't resting on the collet so its not pushing it down to lock it on the shaft... i thought i had the right size prop and now i don't know what to buy... but at least i know what the problem is.

RE: help trying to take off a Corsair with bigger motor...
cool... thanks for the tip... i'm gonna go check that out now and see what i come up with.... the only thing i noticed before was one edge that was cut away on the shaft but it didn't seem like the collet was meant to line up with it in any way... i shall return...

so forgive my ignorance but i just got my power 10 in and i'm faced with the challenge of simple connecting the motor shaft to the motor... how do you secure this thing on... i thought just putting the propeller on would tighten it down but that isn't doing it... please help me out...

RE: Parkzone North American T-28 Trojan
[quote]ORIGINAL: wxup The chartpak sheets are clear peel and stick sheets. I've tried these in the past and the ink was not thick enough to be non-transparent i.e. when putting a red decal on a black model the decal would all but disappear. How do you get the ink thick enough to work? [/quote] the first thing is to make sure that the printer and paper match... for example if you have paper that says its for a laser printer make sure that you use a laser printer because if not the image won't hold to the paper correctly... mine came out okay although i am looking for a little more color from it... but i printed it on the copier printer at work so i didn't really expect much... the blacks look great though...

RE: help trying to take off a Corsair with bigger motor...
yeah i'm facing that situation now... i attempted an unintentional inverted nose dive landing and amazingly enough i bent the motor shaft!!! anyway... i can't figure out how to get the thing out either so i'm just trying to replace the motor all together... i guess i can move over to the power ten knowing that if i'm forced into another crazy landing i can change the necessary parts rather than replacing everything... cheers to $150 (motor and esc) to get a $200 plane flying again... :) thanks for the info...

RE: help trying to take off a Corsair with bigger motor...
so i got my 480 in yesterday and its gonna take more modification than i care to do to get this thing to fit... i think i'm gonna hold on to the 480 for my sea fury that i'm building toward for next year... but now i need to know if the power 10 is a direct swap for the stock motor and how much of a difference are you seeing with it over the stock???
