I haven't flown the MX2 but have been around a few people that have. The model is a great flyer and very aerobatic, the only negative thing was the undercarriage would fall off at the thought of a landing. If you go for it i would recomend fitting the landing gear from the Multiplex Acromaster, it is available as spares and is very strong

Was this the RR spit? I worked at hucknall RR and the wreckage was kept in a small building on the hard standing. The guys looking after the current spit allowed me in to see the airframe and there was not a lot left in all honesty. The rebuild will use some smaller components and the majority of the wing but other than that the it will be mainly the registration that is original. It was quite chilling to see the wreckage and on entering the building there was a very odd atmosphere

That's exactly what i need, thanks guys. Off to the copy shop

I have been given a super60 airframe but the vertical stab and rudder are missing and dont appear to have ever been fitted! I was wondering if anyone could help me obtain a copy of the tail area of the plan as i dont have the original? The model will be powered by a traditional diesel motor, and will join my rebuilt electrified junior 60

top wing looks like an ulimate but the bottom wing is straight! no idea -
I too am at a similar stageto you mystar, rudder, elevator and right outer wing completed, I havent started the centre wing as i am unsure about which retracts to go with? Im sure my build will take a lot longer as this is a longer term project over winter, looking good so far easyjetrider

Cheers guys thats why i asked, i knew someone would have come up with a dodge

I was talking to a guy at work the other day about electronics when he showed me his latest project. The thing that he had 'knocked up' was a 5 channel single cell lipo charger, which i thought would be ideal for indoor flyers? The unit can simulataneously charge 5 lipo's from 75mAh to 150mAh (This range is selected per channel with a swith and can be tuned at the design stage for different currents) It charges in 3 stages using constant current, constant voltage and then trickle charge (no overheat protection) It can run on an input voltage from Vout+1.5v to 36v! my thought was to include a high capacity lipo which could be charged at home, which would then be enough for lots of charging at an indoor meet for upto 5 cells at a time. Costs would be around £25-35 without the lipo's would anyone be interested in such a device?

Looking very nice stephan im watching. That exhaust duct looks like a major operation is it part of the kit or a mod?

I managed to upload the pic. If you hinge the top skin this method should work but you may need to play with the angles Edited By philfly on 13/01/2011 12:41:27

Cheers Scot. The Lado stuff looks good and they have them for the sea fury. What oleo's/legs did you use with these? I will have a look at the century jets stuff Danny

I have recently purchased the topflite sea fury (xmas present to myself) I am looking for retracts for it, i know that the web site lists Robart and century Jets versions but does anyone have experience of the best place to get these in the uk or suitable alternatives? Are there any of the new servoless electric type that would be up to the job of supporting a 14lb model? Any advice would be appreciated
