Carl asked earlier about my older blog post “Building the Sig DO 217 kit (1)” and then added this question: Hello, Excellent build! I am about to build this kit and I noticed you added a tail wheel. I want to do the same but I’m wondering if yours was in a fixed position or […]

Bob, I’m configuring a Guillow Pilatus for e-flight. What motor, esc, servo arrangement would you recommend? This model has a +/- 26′ wingspan, so it’s quite lightweight. Also, are taped hinges the best for this application? Ed Ed, There’s a lot of stuff out there that would work, and I must admit that I’m not […]
QUESTION: Bob, I was just wondering if there are any future plans for you to do anything like “Masters Workshop”, you did in Fly-RC magazine? I certainly miss those articles.
