    Finally, all our LCD questions are answered! Read Anandtech article on LCDs: LCDs I still think my 1760V was a great purchase and I was going to consider purchasing a second one (assuming I could still get this great deal). But, I will have to go back and reconsider the Albatron L-17ASD with...

    NEC 1760v LCD at Staples B&M $329 AR Clearance

    Well I finally had an opportunity to do a side by side comparison of the 1760 and the Dell 1800fp. First, I took a look at the 1800FP running analog and then digital. DVI is very slightly better but not enough to eliminate the use of analog. In other words it looked great under each interface...

    RC Plane 79.99 free shipping

    PTCvette I never timed it. I would say at least 5 minutes, probably longer. The fact that you can fast charge it so quickly (5 minutes) really made the flight time no problem. Besides 5 minutes is longer then you think. 5isalive's deal with the second battery is ideal. The real problem with the...

    RC Plane 79.99 free shipping

    No license required. Works on a common frequency with short range. By the way, if it goes out of range it goes to idle. Also, try some glides at idle power to make sure it glides at a shallow stable angle. Years ago, many years ago, RC planes where all single channel (rudder only) which...
