    G749 Low voltage Just to keep things simple my M207 had some important info drawn and scratched into the hood before I got it.

    G749 brake problems Sure hope someone's around to put me in a truck when I'm not able to do it myself. Your Pop is a lucky guy! I just took my 172 year old parents to the 'recycle' station today and dumped any 'old, unknown and unlabelled' products that we had in our sheds. Makes it easy for...

    Low flyin' RC P47 Low flyin' pics are so entertaining I decided to make my own. After peeling the wrapper off this new RC Parkzone P47 and taking the trim flight I thought of you plane nut guys and the low flyin thread. As many low passes and touch & goes we could do before the battery...
