- Hi I am new to this hobby. I have a few questions that were not answered
- by the FAQ.
-
- 1) When I see a gas plane advertised as 3 channel. Do these
- include: elevator,rudder&throttle.
-
- 2) If the plane has no aileron control. And very little or
- no dihedral. Can it still turn?
-
- 3) I have decided on an engine size of .10. How much Nitro
- should I buy my fuel with?
-
- 4) How do these diesel engines get adjusted? You'd have
- to be VERY steady handed to get near that adjusting "T"
- with the prop spinning 1" away!!
-
- 5) Will a diesel engine of a given disp put out more
- power?
-
- 6) I have seen many ads for radios and have settled on
- a four channel from airtronics or futaba. What
- do all the Nbl,nbf and all that stand for. If I
- buy a radio kit now with 3 servos can I add a 4th later
- if I put it in a plane with aileron control? WITHOUT
- buying a new receiver? What is servo reverse? Whats the
- pros and cons of AM vs FM. Are they disallowed in certain
- areas? Can the servos be put in a glider?
-
- 7) Do ailerons work 180deg out of sync or am I confusing
- this with flaps.
-
- 8) How do those hand held starters work? Do they just
- interface on the nut/prop or do you have to have a cone
- there?
-
- 9) Is balsa/wood construction the best for someone who contemplates
- many repairs due to crashes, or is foam/plastic better because
- its stronger.
-
- Thats all for now. Thanks. If you want you could reply via
- email then I will post the q's and a's or mail them
- to the FAQ man.
