    Posted by Bob Cotsford on 13/07/2019 13:10:27: Don, no pictures as it was a fair while ago. IIRC I used a generic 3536 sort of can with a 40A esc and a 2200 3S pack slotted under the wing. Same sort of setup as you'd find in a Wot 4 foamy. Likewise Bob, thanks, very useful starting point for my power train design 👍🏻

All fast and smooth . My mate put a Hyperion motor in his and it was faster than mine !

    Posted by Bob Cotsford on 12/07/2019 10:54:53: I had the ARTF mk1 version with a brushless/3S lipo setup and it was (in my opinion) a nicer machine than the current Mk2 ARTF offering. Bob I have just acquired a Mk1 airframe and am looking to spec a LiPo/brushless setup. What motor/ESC/LiPo do you use? Got any pictures? Edited By BikerDon on 12/07/2019 22:03:44

    Posted by FlyinBrian on 01/03/2019 22:09:29: I have an ARTF Easy street sitting in my shed, I doubt I will ever get round to building it. FlyinBrian - do you still have it? I'm looking for one, been doing so for ages

    Being NewBuilderFlyer's 'friend' who will be doing the maiden I feel it appropriate to add my 2p-worth.... I agree with brokenenglish Looking at the plan and pictures of other STOL Mk 1 & 2 builds surely* the WHEEL should be postioned about mid-way between the CoG and the wing LE. The rake of the u/c struts is very misleading and irrelevant IMHO and it's the position of the axle that counts as the aircraft will rotate about that axle while on the ground. * and stop calling me Shirley... I have plenty of air time with both LE slats, flaps and flying slowly as I have the Durafly Fiesler Storch which is notoriously difficult to fly. I was the only flyer in our club that was able to tame the Storch and get many flights out of her Time will tell fellahs, we'll keep you posted

    Posted by Rosco on 18/09/2015 21:52:46: I have had several of the Skyangel/Hobbyking 50mm jets and all have been great little models. I have had the F16, F18 and F35 (in that order) and have friends that fly the T45. The F16 was a rocket on 3s. I did have a fan issue and upgraded to a CS 11blade fan with the stock motor and it was even better. I did the same to the F18 and F35. Due to their small size, some can fit a 4s within the fuselage with very little modification and some cannot. Try e-bay for them and as you know Hobbyking also has some. I also got one from local hobby store. My F18 is still flying and is one of my favourites. I can post some vids later. Rosco Yes to the videos please Rosco...

    Jack, if you read the article, the Guy recommends uprating them with the £15 EDF/ESC from rc-castle (11 blade, balanced motor/fan, 4S capable) together with a 4S LiPo which then transforms them into something 'interesting'. EDF unit P.S. I don't want a funfighter I want an EDF

    Can anyone help me in tracking down some these please? Reading the September RCM&E my appetite was well and truly whetted by the article "Small but mighty". All the talk of the Skyangel 50mm EDF range sounded so tempting that I was all ready to put mouse to order form to get one whizzing it's its way to me ASAP. So I started to hunt down some of the kit Nigel Hawes mentions in the article to no avail so far.. Skyangel 50mm EDF jets - the only recognisd UK supplier was Amazon and all the models are 'Currently unavailable'. BRC Hobbies only have the 35mm models. He mentions to check out rc-castle.com - no Skyangel models under their 50mm range, they do have the XRP fans though. HobbyKing has a few 50mm EDF jets but none look like Skyangel. This so frustrating!!

    A long shot.... Does anyone know where I can get user manuals for Kontronik FUN480-33 motor/gearbox and Beat 40-6-18 ESC?

    Decided I need space in my workshop. Came across a load of these showing how it used to be done. If anyone wants any let me know before I recycle them in a few days time. That's November 1982 and is the second earliest one I have. It goes from here to the present day, not every issue is there. Too expensive to post but I'm sure we can come to some arrangement, I don't really want to throw them away... I have a few issues of several other old aero-modelling magazines too, didn't mention those. PM me if you're interested.

    Thanks for those super links Phil. Spookily I have just got back here from looking at your 2013 event report on RCMF and then on to your S/C and Vintage website. I was amazed to see Shaun Garrity on there - I met up with him last time I went to the Nationals and bought a trio of indoor aircraft from himself and his chum. I saw him in the distance at this year's Nats but didn't get a chance to chat sadly. See if he remembers me next time you are in contact. You can tell him the models are still going strong and get a lot of attention where ever I fly them. My avatar is the Sopwith Triplane, one of the three. It's a very small modeller's world isn't it?

    What did you cover yours in Robin?
  20. BikerDon
    Thanks Richard, much appreciated. That plan is for the 71% 34" version. I have found several shops that do a kit for the 48" version which I think I will go for. I have not built from a plan for many years so getting back there via a kit will have a better chance of success.

    Fantastic Guys, thank you so much...

    This was my fave model in the Free Flight evening at the Nationals at the weekend. It flew beautifully and looked much better than all the others. I just have to buiold one for next year's FF event. Before I could track down the model and owner, everyone had scarpered, grrr!
