RE: New Hitec Aurora 9-Channel 2.4Ghz Radio System
After researching the available information I see it scans the channels,. but does it actively hop channels all the time like futaba or does it do something else? I am a little confused. I need to purchase a new radio and this looks pretty cool, but I was interested in the optic 6 but held off because of some of the issues I read about. I thought about buying Optic 6 and then this one later. that way I have a radio to use during my set ups of new models. Any input would be appreciated. I know for every one bad post you read about a product there are 1000's who have had no problems.

RE: rich model keecat.60 size kingcat with retracts
I have a keecat that the covering has been stripped off of. I am not flying fuel plans anymore and have no need for it. If anyone is going to the Northwest Hobby Expo in Monroe WA. next month, I will sell it for $40.00 or Best offer. its new including all hardware except that it doesnt have covering on the plane. I know this is somewhat off topic, but I dont want to post in the classified's when I am only willing to take it to the hobby expo. If your game, shoot me an email ja.mcdonald@earthlink.net Jason

RE: rich model keecat.60 size kingcat with retracts
a bit off the current discussion, I bought a kee cat and stripped all the covering off. I am currently recovering it with ultracoat in the jolly rogers scheme. kind of like the bvm bobcat. its going pretty good, but i am having an issue with my cover over cover areas. I keep applying to much heat and the top part is shrinking to much. I will post some pictures soon.

RE: Are You Happy With Your JR Conversion Too 2.4ghz?
I just got a 9303 2.4, set up a cermark f16 using a 7 channel and a f15 ducted fan using a 7 channel. its an awsome setup compared to my old 8103. I like that fact that if the model number is wrong it wont connect to the receiver turned on.

RE: DUCTED FAN JETS
Need some advice guys. I have a sport scale f-15 with a .46 vx-df on a turbax 46 and a weston short pipe. My question is what size fuel line should I be using? I am using large size which barely fits over the fittings with out zip ties. I started it for the first time today and she seemed rich not matter what I did. there didnt seem to be much difference with adjusting the needle valve. I am using the remote needle valve. Should I be using standard size fuel line for this engine?

RE: F10 ? designed by Dan Marlowe
Another update, The price to cut the kit is about $93 before shipping. He said all parts will be cut on the line so the parts might not be as tight as if the files were set up for cutting. I did not request that because of the time and cost involved of having them rework every part. I think the fit will be fine. Again, I will post pictures as soon as I receive the cut parts.

RE: F10 ? designed by Dan Marlowe
Eddie from Lazer works got back to me today and said he should have the final price tomorrow. He said it shouldnt be more the $100 for all of the lazer cut parts. I think thats an excellent price. I will post pictures when I receive the cut parts.

RE: F10 ? designed by Dan Marlowe
I had two sets of plans printed up. Man are they large. They were easy to print because they were 1:1 scale. I am still waiting on the laser cutter for a price, but I am in no hurry. The northwest hobbyexpo is next month and I hope to pick up retracts, fan unit and other parts at the expo. I will keep this updated and maybe start a build thread when it begins. I think page 5 might be template for the ply skins for the body, still not sure!

RE: F10 ? designed by Dan Marlowe
I dont own the rights. I sent the laser cutter the plan files I downloaded because I can't cut straight lines with a guide. They might cut a set for you to, but you would have to contact them. eddie at www.lazer-works.com - (I had to correct the url, it will be the right site now) [quote]ORIGINAL: R_Belluomini Will you or the laser cutter sell kits?

RE: F10 ? designed by Dan Marlowe
I saw this and thought I would reignite it. I currently have the plans at a laser cutter and he is finishing the files to cut. I am stumped on sheet 5. What are these parts, where do they go and what are they cut from? I came across these plans and can never find an arf or like thats affordable, so I decided to give this a shot.
