Hi again,ive been flying the you know what out of this great model but as I am an adventerous fellow and bat for both teams, (ic and electric), i'm thinking of mounting a cox 049 with throttle on the front ,of course once ive fuel proofed the necessary areas, I was wondering if anyone has tried this with success?

Thanks David,I apologise for that,my bad.

Gday again Just a thought about new topics I myself am a bit of a rareity,I class myself as a young scratch builder.I am aware the majority of new generation pilots are in the 'ARF' generation and not many of them perhaps have the basic hand skills such as soldering wire (piano or electrical) or making parts such as vacuum formed canopies or fibreglass cowls or wheel spats.Please forgive me if RCM&E have done articles on these topics in the past as where I am new news does take a while to reach.

Gday there Time for a silly question,Ive been in this hobby for about 20 years and I was wondering how the top pilots get their equipment overseas when competing in competitions in other countries.With all the rules and regulations at the moment with what you can and cannot be taken as cargo on aircraft what do they do? I wonder what one has to do to get ones secret nitro mix or their lipos through customs let alone their competition models without getting the 3rd degree from the friendly staff at any international airport.I know its a silly question but just the packaging to transport a model I imagine would be quite exquisite.Edited By David Ashby - RCME Administrator on 14/09/2011 09:23:51

Excellent idea guys, I've converted all my models from i.c to electric but I've got this bad habit of overpowering my models.You can never have too much power.

Please i need help is there anyone out there that has built a fizza that is heavier than 24oz (680gms) and has still flown ok? My fizza has an auw of an obese 720gms.

I love rc aircraft ive been doing it for 15yrs and electric aircraft for 5yrs but at the moment my job as an aircraft tech in the RAAF has taken a bit of my time from the building board!

ok ive nearly finished building another fizza after my first fizza had a bad crash after my cheap esc decided to give up working ,my problem is that my new one is over 700 gms in weight im hoping it will still fly is there anyone who has had a fizza fly ok that was a bit on the heqvy side and what is the maximum wing loading this awesome model can handle.thanxEdited By Tim Mackey - Administrator on 18/08/2011 15:36:38

Gday there im in the middle of building my 2nd fizza as my first one had an untimely death from a faulty esc my new one is going to be a bit of a speed demon .I will be using a Turnigy 2836 2350kv with 60a esc and 3s 2200mah i was wondering if anyone who has built a Fizza in the past has tried to push the envelope of this awesome model.
