    Phil. Took your advice and ordered from Callie Graphics. Arrived today. Excellent. PS good to put a face to your name from the Long Mynd report in RCME. Will now be able to identify you at the Great Orme.

    Gents. Thanks for the helpful replies. I have contacted the suppliers and hopefully will have a set in time for the fly-in.

    Having completed the build of my Hurricane I put off purchasing the expensive decals until after a test flight. Well that went well two days ago but now I find that the Pyramid Models website is unavailable. Can someone help or will I have to fly an unidentified 1940 Hurri?

    Trevor. I filled my spinner with lead and made it removable by glueing an M8 bolt through the front of the battery box and fitting a matching bolt to the spinner backplate. I also used the magnetic switch from Hyperflight which works well and is quite discreet.

    Thanks Stephen. I think I will also go for top hinged ailerons and inverted servos like you.

    Posted by Stephen Bowdler on 26/04/2018 12:50:00: I will mount my servos in the wing - between R4 and R5. I have bought a pair of MKS6100 servos and the matching Integrated Drive System so the whole servo / linkage / horn will be inside the wing. Maximum height is around 16mm. Stephen. I have also bought a set for my build. However on closer study of the few published installation guides I get the impression that they will only work with bottom hinged ailerons. Am I right? Peter

    Interesting figures Peter. Your Irvine 53 seems to be more economic than the OS table would suggest.   I have an Irvine 53 in a Wot 4 and have often noticed how little fuel it seems to use. Could it be that some engines are inherently more economic than others of a similar size?   Now I appreciate that fuel consumption will be affected by factors such as prop size and airframe drag but it would be interesting to see some factual data.   Perhaps WOO could write an article on the subject.   Peter @import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css);

    Does anyone know how to get in touch with Tangent Modeltechnik, the manufacturers of the Electromaster. Their website redirects enquiries to the Graupner site which in turn asks you to search for their agent, which in then returns 'non found'!@import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css);

    Posted by Tim Mackey - Administrator on 21/06/2011 17:49:24: Yes, if they have been bound as single units. If bound as a twin, and satellite is missing, they dont like it Tim. Does the reverse hold true ie if you bind with only one Rx rhen add the satellite it doesn't work? I have an AR6200 which has only half the range with the satellite connected?   Peter @import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css);

    There is a product called Skin so Soft from Avon which works amazingly in repelling midges. You can get it in all sorts of outlets in Scotland and from Amazon. Not sure if it works against horse flies but I can vouch for its effectiveness against the predatory Scottish midge! Down side is that it was originally intended as a ladies after shower spray - could lose some street cred if your mates find out! @import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css);

    Thanks Fly Boy and Biggles for your comprehensive reply.   I have just measured the current incidences.   Using the top longeron as datum 0 ie setting the fuselage level along this longeron I get   Stabiliser +2 1/2 degrees Top Wing +4 1/2 degrees Bottom Wing + 5 1/2 degrees Engine 0   The stabiliser is obviously intended to be at this angle relative to the fuselage datum, as the tail is seated on a wedge. I assume therefore that the model is designed to fly slightly nose down giving some engine down thrust.   So with the tail at 0 degrees the incidences become Top wing +2 degrees Bottom wing +3 degrees Engine 2 1/2 degrees downthrust   These figures don't seem too far from your suggestions for a plane with engine downthrust. I will probably stick with them, particularly since I don't envisage flying it inverted for extended periods.   Peter       @import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css);

    I have nearly completed the airframe of a Precedent Stampe which I purchased with the fuselage and cabanes already built. Before covering I want to check that everything is correctly aligned.   Does anybody know what the incidence of the wings and tailplane ought to be? They do not appear on the plans. @import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css);
