No, every forum has a search function e.g.
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/search.php?

On RCgroups at least, you can configure to see only those sections that 
interest you, and indeed 'subscribe' to threads, if thats all you want 
to see.

Frankly ALL the posts in EVERY category would take a lot LONGER.

UK, of course.

You will find me on rcgroups, but not under this name.

This NG is dead already.

The fact that you can post photos, detail builds, and get access to 
hundreds of smart modellers on e.g. rcgroups means there is little point 
asking anything here.

I only normally answer, or direct people TO RCgroups. Could be any of 
the others, but that's the one I use cos its 90% electric.

Ought to set up a autopost to here saying 'we all left: find us in the 
links above'

and leave it running..

So far haven't been over 200W. So use ESC BECS.  Have some SBECS for 
larger.theres a 6 servo plane in my minds eye later this year..and 8 
seems not unreasonable wit retracts, flaps, ailerons all taking two, and 
a rudder and elevator.


I would be bound to let the rx battery go flat....why have yet another 
thing to charge..

Kaspersky is giving me loads of warnings about it so I don't know what's gone 
wrong there...
