Hi Tim, Made a start on Rivets last night, really looking forward to this one! Quick question on motors. Any thoughts on other suitable units or power required overall for decent performance? Just wondering if I've got something to hand rather than buying anew. Regards, Phil Edited By Phil E on 12/07/2012 09:59:19

Cheers Pete, many thanks for your help. Will study suggestions, would be really nice to get the Fox back in the air! Phil

Quick question relating to another thread I've got on the go. Suggested prop for a new motor is 11 x 4.7. Is the 10 x 6 folding prop I already have suitable or not? Cheers, Phil
-
Overall I too have been disappointed with the Fox particularly as it is suppose to "scream aerobatics". Actually my ESC went up in smoke on the second flight so has already been replaced and upgraded to a 28A and it's certainly the motor that is in need of replacement now. Nice looking model but needs more power!. Phil

Still not really got thsi sorted. Would this be ok for the Fox? http://robotbirds.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=56_325&products_id=880 Although suggesting a 11 x 4.7 prop on 3s could I use the existing 10 x 6 folding prop? Any thoughts, anyone? Phil

Out of interest is Peter Holland still with us? Phil

Just been trawling through plans that are available. Anyone any further information or pics on Peter Holland's Doodle Watt? Looks interesting and different! http://www.myhobbystore.co.uk/product/15990/mag74--doodle-watt Phil

Interesting video here on 3D printing producing a model aircraft. Is this the future? http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20737-3d-printing-the-worlds-first-printed-plane.html?full=true Phil

Suspect I'm in need of replacing the motor on my ST Models Fox. Anyone know if such spares are directly available or what a suitable replacement might be? Currently uses a 10 x 6 folding prop, believe it is 900kv with a threaded shaft. All help appreciated!Phil

BRC - Excellent Service Again
Phil E replied to Phil May's topic in R/C Retailers / Distributors / Manufacturers
Anyone know if BRC's email address is still: [email protected]?I emailed them on Thursday with a problem and haven't had a reply just yet and can't now see an email address or contact form on their website. Thanks, Phil -
I don't doubt www.parkjets.com has been highlighted before though it's new to me. I'm really impressed with the number of free plans available and am taken by one in particular, the seaplane Polaris. My question is, is the kit of this model available anywhere in the UK? Phil
-
Hi Simon, Any more progress with this? I've been looking at this kit for some time and think it's about time I bought one! Would be interested to know if it's finished and flown? Phil

Cheers Stephen, Part of the attraction of the Harvard was the price so I might have a rethink as to my next project. Can't decide between the P40 and the FW190! Phil
-
Hi Stephen, I've just had an email to say the Harvard I'd ordered online over the weekend was now sold out and no more are available at present. Not impressed! Phil
-
And I've now got mine on order! Phil
-
Thanks, Stephen, that's a big help. I'll have a read through. Looks like this could be the next project for me! Phil
-
Anyone know anything about the GWS Harvard, build quality, flight characteristics, etc? Phil

I have a lipo battery refusing to charge showing the error message "Low voltage". Any way of reviving it or is it dead?! Phil

The Mode Survey - what do you fly?
Phil E replied to Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator's topic in General Radio Discussion
Mode 1 N.E.Lincs N.E.Lincs Instructor I learned to fly approx 20 years ago when Mode 1 locally seemed the norm but have only recently returned to the hobby. Now most of those I fly with are Mode 2, have preferences changed over the years? Phil -
To answer my own question for anyone else interested, the article appeared in the June 2001 issue which is sadly no longer available as a back issue. Phil
