Craig,
Check the ad again. The last time I was in the UK, the price for the
Micro 3BB was around $55 and the MC version ranged from $85-$110 depending
on the store. I think you will find that the quoted price was for the
Micro 3BB version. Most likely it was a misprint in the ad.
Gentlemen,
What I do notice is that a lot of people eagerly

The subject is interesting, but rereading the old stuff over and over
isn't.
Please calm your quoting urges, gentlemen! It ain't
What many of you forget is that the aircraft has inertia -
when it passes from one column of air to another it will try
to keep equilibrium: So when entering the air the main wing
will have an increased angle of attack for a while, thus
producing more lift and slowling down a little. When the

You have to have more speed as you lean your aircraft
inward in the turn - a 60 degree turn doubles the G's,
thus the stall speed goes up a lot (not suure how much)!
The air is not much thinner (just a bit).
The headwind is probably a bit less, so the percieved, but
not the actual, flight speed
Morning,
Anyone have/make and adjustable towhook for sale? After making one for
a project, I am looking for an alternative to the labor. Must be strong
enough for F3b and F3j tasks, so no plastic jobs G.

Here on the West Coast, R/C hobby stores (Hobby Shack, for instance) carry

elsewhere, too.

Obviously this design was baste on logic (pun intended).
But will it bring you your slippers?
What if it gets a mind of its own, and actually outsmarts you?
For that kind of money, couldn't you just hire a good pilot

I'd say that the "best" way is to use two fingers.
That said, Daryl and I both use thumbs...
It was the way that I learned to fly, and I'm not gonna
change. I also think that mode 1 is a better choice, but
I fly mode 2.
Bottom line, probably doesn't matter a lot. Do what ya
