Whats PSS?

My dad's building a Cambrian funfighter spitfire as a slop soarer.  His question is "Is it worth installing a rudder control to help kick the tail around in heavy wind?"  Has anybody tried one of these or something similar as a slope soarer?

Thanks for the advice, but i think im going to get an SC91FS for it now.  I think ide need to cut the top of the front of the fuz off to install new captive nuts i dont fancy that idea!

A friend at my club is kindly giving me his old Wot 4 for a Winter Hacker, it currently has an engine mount installed for a 60 size engine.  Im planning on installing a Jen 57, which is a 40 size engine.  Are there any adaptors out there that would enable me to install this onto the 60 size engine mount? As Ide like to avoid having to drill new holes for a smaller engine mount.

I want one!

Does anyone know if the Hangar 9 training lead (HAN174), will work for a spectrum DX6i to Futaba trans?

I was looking into buying one of these, let see if my luck in!!!!

Ditto!!

3rd time lucky?!?!?!?

yes please!!!!!!!!!!

Missed the mention by Quin of the Groove freestyle, i like the look of that one!  has anybody flown one of these? if so is it possible to mount the engine the right way up or on its side as the engine i was going to use doesnt like running upside down.  Might be better to get a new engine any recomendations?

Hi, can anybody recommend a good 3d style plane to start with.  Ide like to move in to 3d flying and therefore looking for my first 3d style plane. 

please let me win!!!

Great Suggestions, i like the idea of the Jumper 25, mainly because of the price.  I have thought about buildin a Ben Buckle model before,  Im practicing building a profile plane at the moment from a plan from this magazine!  So maybe after that  thanks for the suggestions.

The last Seagull Sea fury i saw, did a spiralling death dive into the dirt, therefore ide like to show my club how your supposed to fly one!! ( well hopefully anyway )
