Thanks to all those who responded. Someone found one for me and sent it to me in a .doc file. It will work just fine. I too flew a 600 and 900 back in the day and hope to fly another one again soon. I have a couple of 900 kits that languished in the garage for many years. The instructions

Does anyone have a building manual for this kit? I started building one, put it aside for a while and now I can't find my building instructions. I could probably finish it o.k. using just the plans, but would rather not? Can anyone help me out? I'd be glad to send you money for copying and

My winter project was a little different this year... I built a new encoder board and synthesized transmitter board (6 meters) for an old MicroPro 8000. It is now called a MicroStar 2000. It's a cool project for ppl with steady hands and good eyesight. (I used magnifying glasses ;-) Most of the

Thought I would add another possible solution to the thread. Back when I raced rc cars, a few of us used Weller TC201 or TC202 soldering pencils without their transformers with good results. They are fed with about 20 volts from their power supply, but seemed to work well with 12.5 volts at the

I own a Blaster and I'm very please with it. The speed range is very good when changing the camber during flight. I am able to slow the plane to a crawl and float or bug out as needed. The only time I use reflex is during the launch. It launches very well and is very stable without any fancy
