Dave, I'm still using the battery that comes with the TX, but these are both listed on the Futaba website as suitable replacements. While the dimensions aren't shown, I'm confident that they'll fit fine...if not, I'll happily buy it off you for what you paid. ;) https://futabausa.com/product/uba0135...

WHAT!!??
Claudia was going to buy me a new Vette!

I'd pay for a chance to dunk Condon in a dunk tank.

Of the currently available receivers, I’ve used the 617, 7008, 7006, 3008, 3004, & 2008 without issue. Can’t really say I saw a difference in performance between them. As far as a carbon is concerned, I’ve never had a full carbon fuse like Trey’s F5D planes, but I’ve never ran the antennas externall...

That's awesome Chuck! As Mike said, please keep us updated as far as their fundraising and testing/practice!

Not a Vortex, but the NeneQ I flew at the 2018 Nats first flew at the Winterfest in January 2005. It’s still sitting on my wall ready to go.

Congratulations Gordon and family!!

You can get it at golf shops, but I get it in larger rolls from Ebay. Just search for "lead tape".

Jim Allen and I have both been using Futaba S3174SV's without issue in our Stregas. We also didn't have issues with our Caudrons, but neither of us got a lot of flights on them. I wouldn't suggest doing outboard servos with plug-in wings like the Dara's, as I did have aileron servo issues in mine.

AMA Nats. Schedule says, Pylon racing July 13th > 20th, here it is the 17th, and, no Pylon racing in the Nats. news Probably because the AMA has contestants in their respective events do the Nats News articles, and nobody racing pylon wanted the distraction of having to take the pics and write them...

Now that I have sorted through the myriad of timing and deck height comments, I have a new question: where should I set my needle? 2 o’clock? 2:30? 5:00? Kurt Kurt, You have to be very careful setting your engines using the clock hands method. It can get very confusing depending on what time zone y...

OUCH!

Hmmmmm...... The pipe design can be a double edged sword. It develops quite a bit of horsepower at specific rpms. It also becomes a governor as well which means that there is a peak rpm that the pipe will allow. Do take note if you get caught up in running engines with real high timing you run into...

I'd keep all my shims in your box that you take with you, as otherwise the one you really need will be sitting on the bench at home. That being said, once you have a good baseline setup, you really won't be changing it much if at all. As long as they aren't damaged, you can reuse them all you need, ...

The rules refer to "battery", not "batteries", so that would also lead me to believe that only one battery pack is intended. If you have to plug two separate packs into the ESC, I would think it goes against the intent of the rule. "3) Battery: Battery shall be a commercially available Lithium Polym...
