[RCSE] Anybody have a spare Dynaflite Bird of Time ARF middle wing section?

I picked up a crashed Dynaflite Bird of Time ARF. The fuselage isn't too bad, but the middle section of the wing is. Trying to decide if I want to strip it for parts or fix it. I could buy a wing set new, but I'd rather spend a lot less money and just get the middle section of the wing. I

Re: [RCSE] Wind Question - Not for Sport Fliers

It doesn't need to go up to 11 oz loading. Especially if it's only a 10mph wind. Best thing to do is start experimenting. Try adding 6-7 oz to the model. Make up ballast so you can also go up 12-14 oz. Thin airfoils don't need the huge increase in weight. At that time of day in the

Re: [RCSE] Wind Question - Not for Sport Fliers

I dunno about that not carrying ballast bit. Maybe things are different now, but my experience is that the E205 NEEDS the weight, even if it isn't all that windy. Maybe not 11 oz./ft^2 in a 2 meter, except if it's really windy, but 9 oz is fine. I also recall having a lot of fun on a really

[RCSE] Synthesized RF module vs multiple fixed modules?

Any RF savants out there that can explain in scientific terms why a synthesized TX RF deck is either a good or bad idea? I'm not talking about the Frankenstein solutions - i.e. Brand X module jammed into Brand Y TX - but an approved synthesized module from the TX mfr. Tom RCSE-List
