RE: Help me get into rc airplanes!
Very good plane is the Hobbyzone Super cub LP. it is 179.99 RTF. www.hobbyzone.com Look around in the "trainer" section at this site. www.hobbyking.com www.alienaircraft.com have some good kit planes and you're local craft shop might have some foam to build the planes from www.mikeysrc.com Good luck dude!

RE: Landing Gear Issue
I had the same issue. with my super cub LP. Get a propane torch from runnings or walmart for like 20 bucks. heat the gear till its glowing hot. then spray with water. ( i use a windex bottle full of water). repeat 3 or 4 times until they are hard. worked for me. i had to repaint mine since they were black. Goodluck!!! SHP

Converting from glow to electric help!
Hi All. went to our hobby shop and the price of nitro was 29 dollars a gallon!!!!! 0_0. after we got some fuel we went to start my engine on my good ole cessna and we couldnt get it running!! After cleaning everything out, we took it up again. no problems. then it just quit. dad got upset and said that was why he switched to Gas. Im tired of the oily mess and the price of fuel. it is atrocious. I want to convert to brushless electric. fuel is free and it never stops working. i have a budget of 150 dollars. all i need is an ESCBEC Motor and Battery. anyone have any ideas? i was looking at the ones in hobbyking, but the site is crowded and i have no idea what i need or want. my current motor is a .46. Please Help.

How to adjust high and low speed needle valve on Evolution .46?
I need a step-by step instructions on how to set the low speed and high speed valves on my evolution power trainer .46 motor. its the one that hanger 9 puts on its p51d mustang PTS. i crashed it into my house and finally got it running again. just wayyyy to rich. and when i adjust the high speed it still needs tweaking on the low end. i lost the manual when it got sucked up by the plane LOL. Thanks! SHP

RE: Converting Tower Trainer into a scale plane?
I didnt ask for people to tell me what they think, i asked how to make the conversion. >_>. I want high torque servos because the manual reccomends high torque for the rudder! i want high torque for the throttle for a more realistic experience and more control. it shouldnt bother you cuz it isnt your money! How do you conver the wing to accompany 2 servos. i am going to do the flaperon idea i decided. thanks!!!

RE: Super Cub
Well you can buy the batteries from the super cub lp BNF and make it work. or just buy a dx5 TX and a super cub LP BNF. for like 200 dollars. you can buy the DSM version that comes with the dx5 and a plane for 250. i think. SHP
