Thank you everyone who posted condolences for Scott Thompson. I am his wife Carol. This is a devastating tragedy to me and I just want to let everyone on here know that Scott loved that airplane and w ...

Rick,

Thanks for the kind words.
You're correct. Without it's hours flown off it wasn't eligible for judging. Maybe we'll fly it there next year.

I have a A24 which i believe calls for the same $$power supply$$ as the A6. Mine needs to see between 9.5 and 11.7 volts at the plug to charge the battery AND to transmit. The A24 will still turn on, ...

If Windows Movie Maker doesn't recognize the file type i use an open source program called Handbrake for conversion. It recognizes most file types and does audio as well as video.

Bob,

I think 9 volts is as high as you can set these but you will need their data cable to do so. I have the needed software and c ...

Well worth the asking price!
