trim question
I have a trim question, my Edge 540 keep turning to the left when I pull up as in a loop or vertical. The plane is trimmed in straight and level flight, but as soon as I pull up it starts banking to the left. Could I just not have the rudder and ailerons trimmed right or could the plane not be balanced left to right? Any insight would be very much appreciated.

RE: Parkzone North American T-28 Trojan
I NEED HELP. After installing my radio gear in my new PNP T-28 I found that the motor will surge or pulse at full power. Also the motor is only pulling about 100 watts on a 3cell 20c lipo (that seems low). The servos were all working normal at that point i.e. no signs of glitching. My radio is a Futaba 8uaf with a Hitec 2.4Ghz module and a Hitec Optima 6 lite Rx. The motor and esc are stock. Any insight on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Brushless motor shutters
I have a motor that sometimes just shutters the prop back and forth and will not spin. This only seems to happen when starting the motor from a dead stop it does not happen in flight. Even if I try to go to full power the prop stills shutters, after a few tries it seems to finally spin up and work correctly. Any thoughts on what might be going on? I thought this could be a timing issue but have not tried to change that yet. Right now the timing is on low.

Birdi AT-6 Kit
Has anyone built a Birdi AT-6? I bought one at a swap meet but it does not have any written instruction with it. It does have the full size plans so I should be able to go off that, but the plans do not give much detail on the retract installation. Also, I would like to know what people put in it for an engine. The plans show a .61 2 cycle, but I feel that I should put something bigger in. Any insight on this kit would be mush appreciated. <! / message >

How to cut wing ribs
I have been having trouble cutting out wing ribs for an airplane I am scratch building. I was just wondering how other people do it. I have tried stacking the balsa and cutting with a jig saw, but they still don’t seem to come out uniform. I really don’t want to cut out each rib individually. I was just wondering what other people do. I know a laser cutter or a CNC machine would work great

RE: Slow stick Forum!!
svo, Your Slow Stick looks very cool, just wondering how you are doing your retracts? Are you mounting the gear to the wing or fuse? Just thought I ask because I thought about retracts myself. Also did you make a swept back wing or is that an optical illusion?

RE: Phil Krafts Original Ugly Stick
Has anyone built or flown the Das Little Stick (RCM plan #541). I would like to know how they fly. I just found a set of plans of this one in my shop that I bought some time ago, and decided to build this little bird as an electric. The plane has a 36” wing span. I have a 40 size Ugly Stick now that is always fun to fly and thought a smaller electric would be a nice plane to keep in the car

RE: sugetions for an rc plane
I taught myself on a blade CP, but something with a coaxial rotor might be a bit better to start with. Good Luck, Wing Nutt
