Thermal / Flat field / good 2.5m+ sailplane - which one ?

« on: August 03, 2010, 08:48:10 AM »

Looking at the picture of the Elite on your floor Denis, it looks to me as though the wing is a polyhedral. Is that right? :?:

Well, the spec says it is polyhedral . For me, the middle part of that wing is rather flat.

Where can I get a single connector that would enable me to connect all the wing servos at once and be sure they are all connected correctly? :?

Hi Keith,

I am using these http://brchobbies.com/?page=shop&action=additem&item=1032
for my Spirit.

In theory you may fit four servos into one 6pin connector.

Hi everyone,

look what I found today at Nine Stones -  4GB Compact Flash.

Let me know if it is yours.
