Crazy Ivan,

Your Gato looks

Crazy Ivan,

Your Gato looks really nice! Thanks for the link for the APC-4. As soon as I get the WTC along with all that helpful info it comes with I will start ordering the rest of the things I need. Is there anything that I could be doing to the Seawolf model kit while I wait for the WTC? I was planning to leave the painting for last.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Hi Joe,

I think if I

Hi Joe,

I think if I buy another module for the radio then I can pop out the surface module and slap in an air module and use it for my aircraft.(Please correct me if Im wrong)

I don't believe the 7C offers the required Tx "module" feature... Please double-check the radio specs carefully before you order. As a veteran aircraft driver who now also drives subs, I can attest to the value of being able to swap out "aircraft Tx module" for "surface Tx module" and continue piloting from the same radio...

I know the CAP-9 will do it. Check with Futaba on the CAP-7. I am not sure you can with that radio. Seahorse has a CAP-7 I will ask him if he knows. BD.

Im leaning towards the Futaba 4EXA Computer radio because I can adjust the servo end points.

Although 4-CH is fine most

Although 4-CH is fine most will tell you if you are going to invest the money and can afford it, go for at least a 6-CH. You will wish you had in the long run. The CAP-7 and the Polks radios are both good choices. BD.

No problem, Steve. Always happy

No problem, Steve. Always happy to put in my 2 cents worth. Anyway, I do believe that if we are going to make statements about things, we should always be prepared to back them up with the reasoning behind them. When you can explain something to someone else, you gain a clearer understanding of it yourself.

Ivan,

Sorry about the dive plane

Ivan,

Sorry about the dive plane set up I used. Just got lucky because I never thought of the well thought out explaination you've listed here. Didn't know that I couldn't walk on water so I did! LOL!!!

Listen to the man guys. He knows what he's talking about. Hope the video of the Seawolf and how well it works helped. No Bow planes and no APC. It shows what you can get away with but believe me. Get an APC! It only gets better that way.

Ok guys I forked out

Ok guys I forked out the $$$ for the futaba7C...wow what a nice radio! I sold my DX6 quicker than you can say U-boat. The WTC should be here soon. I can hardly wait!
