Klippy

A man who was the epitome of the 'Traditional British Modeller', a truly 'Shedly man'. I conversed with him via email over his Firefly 46 and always got a reply. One of the worlds true gentlemen. RIP, yours are big boots to fill.

Yes, the same Phil as on Aeromodellers site. Sadly Phil passed away at 16:40 this afternoon. RIP

Phil has been struggling with ill health for the last 20yrs, multiple heart attacks and spinal problems. The bad news is he was sent home from Hospital about a month ago after being told his prognosis wasn't good (ie "we're sending you home to die" He was rushed to hospital on Wednesday and his sons were called a day or so ago to be told he has about 48hrs. His 3 sons are holding a bedside vigil and I'd like all who knew Phil to spare a thought for him in these last moments. I'll keep you posted.   Edited By David Ashby - Moderator on 18/10/2020 16:06:52

Thanks Pete, too many of the modelling friends just disappear. I'd like to think that relatives and children would tell us the sad news, but they don't.

Has anyone "seen" OneTenor lately? I haven't been aware of him since mid August and now I'm getting a bit worried.

Me too

My apologies if this has already been mentioned, the full size had its fin set at an angle of 7degrees to counteract prop wash (if memory serves) are we intending to do the same?

Thanks for asking Steve, John is back with us thanks to all the help on here. He's going to be out of action for a while, while his hips heal.

Hi John, sorry didn't get the no email bit, PM sent with your new password, I went on as you and it worked fine.

Hi John, we mods can't see a persons password, if we could there wouldn't be any point! I changed your password and sent you an email with your new password, didn't you get it? I'm going to change your password again to what I've sent in your email.

I changed your password this AM John, email sent with the new one. Get well soon, excellent news on the hips.

Does anyone have any pics of the pilots who would have flown the Fury? My apologies if I've missed them in the thread.

Ernie, my plates arrived this week, fabulous, thank you. My SWIMBO is not very understanding, all my parts from Saric are still sitting in the corner of my work area.

Hi Klippy Glad to hear that you enjoy the hobby in Lephalale as well, were do you get your stuff from? Hi Chris, Mostly from Hobby King or Banggood, but when I'm in the UK I use SMC or SLEC. Here in SA I've used Hobby Mania, I find them excellent.

Thanks Chris, try living 60kms from Lephalale (Ellisras)! RC might be expensive for us but I wouldn't live anywhere else!
