I need help, Im not looking for an exspensive model but I have just crashed one of my other scale models which make a model memory free. I dont know which model to get. I like the VOODOO but thats maybe a bit too small. I want to overtake the gas turbine models as well. I cannot seem to find much in the way of models on the web (i expected pages and pages on hotliners)

does anyone have any ideas of what i should go for bareing in mind I want to use rather smallish RC gear Like small LiPos and motors Etc.

thanks,
willit

I've had 4 unilog sensors now which have had the grey wire (none of the others seem to be a problem) come out. 2 of them had just come out of the packages. Give the wires a little tweak and out it pops. Is this a common problem or am I just unlucky/too brutal with them?

For the past 3 issues I've sent them back to SM but this takes time in the postage system. Does anyone know where I can buy the small plugs and a crimp to do them myself?

following advice from a respected person familiar to you I used contact cement to provide strain relief. No problems since then but prior to that I had one wire pop out.

I wanted an entry level hotliner that was durable and cost less than 200 for the air frame. I bought a multiplex blizzard and made so many mistake on the build that I threw it in the garbage. Now I have a New Himax 3516-1350 brushless outrunner, thunderbird 54 esc, and 3s 2200 25c batteries I would like to use in another airframe .

I want to pick one from nesail.com

The ones I like are

1.Variant 3 $209 (I really like the scheme on this one)
2.Sprinter $200
3.Nike 2 $239

Can anyone tell me if they have heard anything good or bad about any of these.

Thanks Joe
