Number 30 if you please

33 for me

For me it would have to be either:1) Grumman Goose - brings back childhood memories of the Tales of the Gold Monkey on Saturday evenings 2) Hawker Hind - Fabulous aircraft 3)  Dehavilland dhc-3 Otter

Hi Guys, Did anyone get there Beavers finished and in the air ? I'm looking at either the Airsail or the Jamara Beaver kits and so far I can only find 1 review for the Airsail kit where the chap could not get the aircraft into the air due to poor ground handling and when he finally did, he found it uncontrollable. Looking for some happy stories please  Thanks Fraser

Thanks for the feedback Stephen, looks like I'll have to part with some hard earned sheckles and take the fun plunge

Hi Steve, Can I ask if the alternative power train came out cheaper than the Mutiplex offering? Any update on the build ? Looking to get one and reviews are few and far between so any input/advice would be greatly received

How about High-liner owing to the wing configuration

How does Signet sound

Ah haa Biggles' choice of tranport at last! Fingers crossed again!!

In for a penny in for a Wot Wot! Would be rude Wot too! count me in!

Natural progression from a GWS Slow Stick ?? Ok maybe a bit quick but I learn fast, count me in !

Hi All, Having attempted to get into the hobby in my teens (crashed trainers and warped gliders) I have returned with vigour and determination. In the early days it was quite straight forward. 1 x high wing trainer, OS 25 and a Futaba radio. Join a club ,turn up every Sunday until the old chap with the cool Spitfire finally told you your aircraft was fit for purpose and he'd show you how to fly it. Attempt to fly, lose control, go home with bag of bits and ZAP. I was a bit shocked when I started exporing the forums and websites, at the sheer number of choices you are faced with. Having decided to go electric and 'green' I was then faced with the joy of desyphering all the acronyms and electricery that is involved. Do I go Lipo and risk blowing up my shed ? Do I stick with Nimh for cost issues. To brush or be brushless! Having decided to go light and slow I've opted for a Slow Stick to start things of. The friendly chaps at Steve Webb saw me right with choice of battery, receiver etc and I'm hoping to get up to the park as soon as the weather is better. I'm going to attempt to teach myself through FMS sim and slow gentle flights although a few fliers in Richmond park have offered to help with the first steps. Wish me luck! Cheers Fraser

Hi Plane 95, There is an official flying site in Richmond Park next to the rugby pitches. An unofficial club meets there on a Sunday morning and there seems to be plenty of experienced flyers there willing to take your aircraft up for trimming and a bit of tuition. There is a large post with the rules and regs that marks the centre of the flying disc with a peg board attached to the back. Best to get insurance before you fly there though as there is nothing to stop the other park users/deer etc wandering across the flying site. I think you are pretty mush restricted to park fliers and gliders but I believe back in the 50's it was used for control line flying. Worth a look if the weathers good. I am in the same position as yourself and I've popped over several times. They seem like a friendly bunch. Cheer Fraser

Was actually going to buy this model this coming weekend so will hold off and keep my fingers crossed. New to this forum so Hi All and if anyone flies up at Richmond Park, Surrey, I might see you up at the flying site. Cheers!
