  1. Would the ESC being plugged into the wrong channel prevent binding ? If it could be bound then moving each stick in turn to it's limits would change the motor run speed & identify the channels by stick movements. OTOH if it can not be bound it's possible that the TX & Rx have been accidently switched with another pair somewhere between leaving the factory & being packaged by the retailer. But IMO it's already time to consult the supplier is the best advice.
  2. Jon you seem to be arguing about the wrong scenario. Most people deflect both ailerons upwards when they attempt to use them as a substitute for washout.
  3. FWIW here's a pdf from Paul Matt's book of scale drawings giving some detail of the full size J3 Cub fuselage. Best to open in Adobe Acrobat then rotate view to suit. 1981240121_Fuselage_PaulMatt_a.pdf
  4. The wing incidence is irrelevant - it's only a rigging angle. The airflow is turbulent from the point that it breaks away from the top surface as the stall angle is approached, the ailerons are by then playing no part in determining the AoA.
  5. But as Phil has pointed out the relative airflow has also changed & dramatically so.
  6. What's "The Six Nations" ? Is it a breakaway splinter group from the United Nations ? PS Do I have to insert a suitable emoticon in case my queries offends someone ? 🖕
  7. The original Outlaw was designed for free flight, it was basically an updated enlarged version of the KK Bandit. It was designed before the invention of the transistor when virtually no commercial radio gear would have been practical for it's size. The later Outlaw was a completely different design & only shares the name. It was designed for single channel rudder only or rudder & engine control using rubber powered escapements.
  8. As Gonzo suggested make wings & fuselages to match the ones you have but rename the smaller "Outlaw" as "Billy the Kid".
  9. I've had a Robbe Infinity since pre lipo days. It's a very good reliable charger for Nihm & Pb as well as Nicad. As well as the programmable output there's also a "dumb" constant current 250mA Tx/Rx charge only output which can be handy as a time saver in some circumstances.
  10. I agree that finaly giving the shipping details would have switched the warehouse but Steve's address would, or should have been valid for EU. I had a feeling the problem may have been some anomaly linking the selections of language, currency & country which now looks to be the case.
  11. Maybe it's because he needs to sort out the cost of shipping his batteries to keep the overall price competitive.
  12. I've just gone onto hobbyking.com without logging in, selected English language, Euro currency & Spain as my country. Chose a popular 3s 2200 lipo & could have ordered to be shipped from EU. PS I'm in England
  13. Yes, very few people get done for speeding, no one complains about speed cameras & it's rare to see anyone driving with a phone in their hand. 🤣
  14. Why "growing attitude these days" It not a new phenomenon & I doubt it's an increasing one..
  15. Here's a pic from history of "Frog Model Aircraft" book.
  16. It was named the Pioneer - 38" span, produced from 1955 - 56. Pylonius got the rusting wreckage wrong - there wasn't any iron in it's construction apart from possibly a few nuts & screws, IIRC it was made from mainly magnesium.
  17. Would be better with a motor of around 900kv or a 4s battery. The original RQ flew across the Channel using a 1/4 hp (195 Watts) 3.5cc ED diesel with something like a 10" or 12" prop & model must have weighed a lot more than 6.5 lbs. Agree with what Phil posted as I typed.
  18. By car. They were in the boot. 😄
  19. I think you can do that with just about any brand using Rx's on the same protocol. Phil Green, of this parish, was the first person I'd read of using this system. He posted some years ago that when required he could temporarily convert a glider to take a electric power pod using a small second Rx plus ESC in the pod for motor control.
  20. You may be confusing it with the DH Hornet which did have opposite rotating props, probably with carrier base use in the Pacific theatre in mind.
  21. You should be able to download & use the info from one or more of the RC examples available FOC from this OZ link.
  22. @JACK here's a link to a BARCS thread that hopefully will give you the details you're looking for, the images in Pete Beadle's post partway down page 2 in particular. Out of interest, is your model ready built/part, built or "raw ? What size wingspan & are the wings foam core obeche veneered or built up balsa ? I actually have a set of 110" (or that may be 120") foam cored wings & fuselage in the loft that I acquired at one of the old Primrose Valley model holiday weeks about 25 years ago. Must dig it out, get it built with the nose chopped down for electrification.
  23. You won't have to program either Tx or Rx. The fuselage Rx will ignore ch5 up because there is nothing conected to them & the wing Rx will likewise ignore ch 1-4.
