How big is the WRAM show? I live north of Boston. I've contemplated driving down to see it. Is it worth the trip? If you were going to attend one RC show a year what show would it be? Paul RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests

It's just business. The company must maintain the retail pricing, when they are bypassing the dealer/distribtuors. Other wise, instead of a nation/worldwide system of getting their products out to the masses, they would be doing it all alone from ONE spot. No dealer/distributor would work

Bill, I don't think a Zagi is a great beginner plane (though it is a great plane!). I would suggest something like a wingo, teddy (though it looks so much like a kids toy!) or a smiley. Those are all stable, though I don't know how much use they will be on a slope. You could always get one

The E-Zagi is much more durable and compact than the TwinStar. The TwinStar is probably easier to fly, though I don't have enough stick time on either to make a definitive answer. It may be the standard configuration of the TwinStar would be more comfortable for beginners, but then if they don't

I think the Zagi is probably better than the Twinstar, but the Smiley would be the best trainer. The Twinstar is too fast and fragile for new pilots. An e-zagi would be good for the new guys that show a knack for flying, but it would be tough for the guys that are all thumbs. I highly recommend

Why has Futaba chosen to use negative shift ONLY in the USA? I can't see a reason to prefer either positive or negative specifically. BUT, to do both? This adds allot of manufacturing complexity and thus additional cost. What's their reasoning? Bill Swingle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pleasanton, CA
