Hi   have a couple of the standard Futaba battery chargers that came with my radio sets,  have recently purchased some Enloop Nimh batteries to replace the TX and RX battery can I still use the standard chargers or do I need to buy a new charger?  many Thanks Nick

Hi,  my Futaba Transmitter, 6EX 2.4, LED on the rear is flshing red and green and the LCD display is not working.  Can anyone help with what is wrong please?  Many Thanks Nick

Many Thanks for the reply has put my mind at rest.  Nick

Hi,  I have a Saito 125a recently run in,  on inspection of the engine I noticed that there is quite a lot of sideways movement in the carb throttle housing,  this i mean by if you hold the throttle arm there is a degree of sideways movement in and out of the carb housing.  Before I panic is this normal movement?  Many Thanks Nick

   Hi Have some Hyperion Hi Torque metal gear servos and need to get some replacment servo horn screws,  does anyone know where I can get them from or know the size?  Thanks Nick

   Hi all,  have some Hyperod Hi Torque servos, metal gear, which I am fitting metal servo arms to.  Is threadlock all you need to secure the servo arm nut from coming loose?  Or is there a beter way,   many Thanks in advance Nick

Hi   A bit of silly question I am sure but wanted to get this point right.  How do you calculate the charge time for the RX and TX batteries,  I am sure there must be a calcultaion based on the mah rating of the charger and battery size.   Can anyone let me know?  Also is it possible to overcharge the batteries by leaving them on charge too long,  say overnight?   Thanks Nick

Hi guys,  recently tried to change the prop on my Saito 125a,  must have been a bit tight when originally fitted and you have guessed it will not come off.  Have removed prop nuts etc but prop is stuck hard, any ideas the best way to remove?  Thanks

Hi,  have an OS91 FS fitted to Showtime 90 4d,  using a 14x7 APC prop too much noise creates 86db's over the 80db limited,  fitted a 14 x 8 and the noise level reduced slightly to 84db's,  has any one had experience as to how to reduce the noise to the 80 db requirement?  Thanks Nick

Hi Guys,  thanks for the response so far,  have fitted an APC 14x7,  only problem is noise!  can't get it below 86db which is out of limit for flying!  Any ideas,  have tried a 14 x8 which reduced it to aboiut 84db not enough need 80db.  The engine is fitted with the standard OS  silencer.

Thanks for that,  any reccommendation on servo to use?

Thanks for the reply,  have put the servos, S3152's, into a Hanger 9 showtime 4d 90 which I was advised by TJD Models were good enough for the job,  however reading the Hanger 9 instructions it states they should be a minimum of 80oz torque hence me thinking I should use a 6v RX bettery toi give me 87oz-oin torque.  what do you think?. 

Hi.  I have a Futaba 7c 2.4GHZ system,  I am told if I use a 6 volt RX battery power my S3152 Digita servis will have greater torque.  Is it ok to use a 6.0v battery with this system and S3152 servos?  Has anyone ever had any problems?

Hi guys,  Just building my showtime 90 4D,  just got one in time before they stopped building them.  Did you find the wing fit at the trailing edge to the fuse left a gap? Thanks Nick
