I accept that youngsters have other things to enjoy but it di3snt mean one shouldnt try. Judg8ng by the increase in rail and plastic kit stocks in my local model shop (lms) its clear there is a increase in those hobbies so someone/something aidded that rise. (Lockdown no doubt helped)

And your suggetion Nigel?

Slightly off the original post, we really need an ammbassador. I heard James May was approacehed but give it a NO. I do not know if that is correect or not. Ayrton Senna was an rc flier. We need to see if we can find/encourage a well known public figure to help promote the sport. Or some slick Tik Tok episodes to bring attention to a younger audience. Would likevto think sime of the manufactures/distributors et al would get on board

Sometimes the 'more out of trend' subjects ls informatiive and can stimulate interest. Obviously ARTF being on trend then the market gets catered for. Spreading an article over issues is a well known marketing ploy. Thoughbthe plan section should ibclude the appropriate narrative. Should the magazine fold (no pun intended) in ordercfor the forum to continue i suspect a subscription would be required.

There will certainly be one or more with more funds than smaller clubs. The whole object is the joining of like minded people. A common cause. Yes there will be tha Alpha stuff but it would not go ahead without proper discussion with parties. Planning permission doesnt ensure the site wouldnt disappear at sometime, however compensation would be due. The selection of the site is clearly paramount. As for travel distance, again discussion for parties. And adding to that 'stay and play or go away'. When you have nowhere to fly maybe you have to travel or just pack up.

As we we know and are seeing the hobby is shrinking and clubs mot only loosing members but also sites. Maybe the regions should be considering amalgamtions of clubs and perhaps were this takes place maybe purchase a site. What are fellow forumites view. Please if you have a criticism offer the solution

I need an extension for the above, I have seen OS male to male (that is required gender) extensions but do not know if the thread is the same. Has anyone any knowledge ?

Pringles and a bit of cling film works a treat, just eat the pringles first.

Thanks for letting us know of cancelled event John. After i had loaded up as well. Will be at the next one.

Nought wrong with Radiomaster TX. Whilst 4 in 1 module gives u opportunity to use Spektrum RX and even program them with Edge Tx. ELRS is alsoban option for the TX whether internal or external. Switches are cheap to replace and can be done yourself.

Can i buy a bag of scale detail to add ! Sorry easy target

I just used the 6x in the end and adjusted the control arms physicaly

One servo in each wing running off Ail channel and Aux 1 channel. The servos were centred using the the little gadget designed for that purpose. All hooked up and turn transmitter on, sticks all centred, RX turned on, wing servos then leap in opposite directions! It has occurred to me that maybe I should check calibration on the DX9, but is doenst seem to happen on another model it is hooked up too. Any suggestions, kindly please

The Speed Air is now fixed Surprised how little glue there was on it originally. However decanting fuel into flight box fuel container. Left cap off main container and some local cat hurtled over fence and knocked it over. Shhheeesh atleast it will kill the weeds on the patio. And if i can find a loose slab the cat will find a new home!!!

We all do it, i think, dont we?. Carrying airframe back to wards shed,it was cradled in flight box. I knewi had to be careful but caught tailplane on corner of house as giing diwn the side. Yep..ah well not to bad

Clearly you arenot managing that very well. You are the mangement in solving this problem. Or bin it

Thank you Brian

Given the demise of our i.c. engine repairs and suppliers, I am looking to replace needle valve O ring on SC52fs. I do have a spare Irvine O ring but am curious to know whether to purchase a size assortment box off Amazon. I assume that at least a couple will fit varying engines.

Mower lol. No sadly. It does however have a scrapper made from copper, from a water tank.

Yes I know it won't fly but it was made by a modeller who flies an assortment of planes. Made between 1965 and 1975 it is R/C and was made from pics scaled down. The material is old metal oil cans, the seat is wood and the tracks aluminium sheet milled to size. The track securing links, old brass curtain hooks (those of a certain age will remember). The owner and his brother, who aided the building, both used to drive these for a living. Just thought some appreciation of the skill involved as we often rightly praise our scale modellers.

I gave the Ambulance Service What 3 Words (W3W) and the OS grid reference together with gate code. The members have been told to quite the club name in full when making contact so the Service can retrieve the info from their system. All that same info is in the club hut. Hopefully we may not have to use it.

Tell you what why dont we all pay a little extra! Times are changing at least we still have a physical magazine.

There you go, off with cycle clips.

Its Go for lift off And gentle touchdown

My Speed Air, which is powered by an SC52F and been sat in my garage for well over 18 months, had an outing today. Started first touch and had it in the air moments later. No trim needed. Second flight went dead stick but got it down ok, just bent the front u/c leg. The fuel has been sat in the garage for the same time, but I have too say I tend to keep it and use it and also been known to mix it so I can keep the containers topped up. Run it at home, after straightening the u/c leg and its fine. So back tomorrow.
