If you use the paper trick, remember to open the points before you pull the paper all the way out. Otherwise small paper fibers are left behind and they burn pits into points. Just a trick to put in your bag.

Try using the handheld antenna. You may have a grounded, or unshielded lead in your external antenna.

checking thoes two bolts is part of my pre flight. do not over tighten the bolts as they will bend. have checked after a rough "landing" and found them to be broken or stretched. always shake the tail and look for movment

nos for airplanes?

all legality's aside and just for fun, has anyone thought about NOS for there champ? seems it would be a perfect match as the cont motors are very low compression, and you would need less than a 10 second blast. extra 50hp for 10 seconds would be something :lol:
