The bearings in most model engines wear out eventually but fortunately changing them is a pretty simple task, requiring no special tools.
This video shows you how to change your own bearings and is one of the informational series of videos coming from RCModelReviews.com

What does a pulsejet-powered Long-EZ ARF look like? Well it looks like this (at least for now).
Will it fly?
That's the big question -- you'll just have to wait for part 2 to find out.
Back in 2003 this model went down at the SWMAC November turbine meeting. After an engine flame-out it hit hard and eventually the liquid propane tank spewed its contents into the smoldering wreckage.
Boy do these guys know how to have fun!
Here are just a few scenes from the third annual 2008 ANZAC model jet meeting held in Tokoroa New Zealand on Feb 15, 16, 17 this year. More video is to follow but I just tried to get these highlights from the third day onto YouTube as fast as I could.
In 2003 I was recruited to act as "technical advisor" to the producers of Junkyard Megawars. While there, I filmed a bit of "behind the scenes" stuff. This part is from the morning of the competition day. Later I'll upload some of the racing action.
Plenty of turbine-powered radio controlled model action at another meeting of the New Zealand Jet Modeler's Association at the Tokoroa airfield.
Just some of the action from a weekend that was yet another example of the best and worst weather this country has to offer.
20knot winds, a cheap ARF, a powerful engine and a tuned pipe spell: FUN!
We clocked this plane on the radar at over 175kph on a calm day (that's 110mph), not bad for a trainer!
Check out my other RC model vids and please take the time to rate this video.
(Formerly) Ace Flier thinks his 1/4-scale World Models Piper Cub is actually a cross between a pylon racer and an IMAC aerobatics plane. Just as well that ASP180 is fed with a good diet of our excellent fuel.
Doesn't he fly it just like the real thing?
Another hard-core flier from the SWMAC in Tokoroa NZ, Richard experiences a little flutter at high speed. Includes a special guest appearance by Ron (aka "stumpy").
This plane has been clocked by radar at more than 180KPH on a calm day -- that's over 110MPH. How fast does your trainer fly?
This is the annual ANZAC RC model jet flier's meeting held every year in Tokoroa New Zealand.
This year the weather went from tropical downpour, to gale-force winds, to beautiful sunshine, all in a very short space of time.
But that's no problem for the hardy Kiwis who won't let a little thing like weather stop them from flying.
Some clips from the November 2007 RC model jet airplane meeting held at the Tokoroa airfield in Tokoroa NZ. Check my other videos for more jet and RC action.
A beautiful scale turbine-powered heli has a hard landing at the 2007 ANZAC jet meeting held in Tokoroa NZ.
No major harm done, was flying again later in the day
A (very) few shots from the first day of the 2007 ANZAC international model jet meeting held in Tokoroa New Zealand.

This is what happens if you run your receiver antenna too close to the aileron extensions and ignore a marginal range-check before the maiden flight
Why don't RC systems ever glitch *up*?
Check interestingprojects. com and aardvark.co.nz/pjet for more info on this vehicle. New Zealand's Missileman built what is probably the world's only twin-pulsejet-powere d dragster. Temuera Morrison (the actor who played Jango Fett in Star Wars) takes the ride of his life on this crazy-dangerous machine. Check the other vids in my channel for more stuff like this.
