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. -- C MYSIG ASIG4U 1RADSIG 2BADSIG SIG U 2 U R SIG 1SIGDOG ADOTSIG The above advice is not to be taken seriously!
