It is indeed a great site Brian, one of the best in Spain, and we are very lucky to have it.

Thanks for your comments Futura 57, there were a few aerobatic manoeuvres in the video when shot, but I had to remove them because of focus issues and or because they were performed at a distance and the model was very small in the frame. I've not had the opportunity to video the model again to fill in the gaps so to speak. Perhaps there will be an opportunity in the future.

The plane suffered minor damage only and was flying again later that day.

Maidened my newly acquired Tangent Kult yesterday which cost me only 5 quid more than a MPX Heron RR and included 2 flight batteries. Flies like a dream and I'm super happy with it. 😁

Thank you very much John. Worked a treat and I now have my sanity returned.

Thanks Zflyer, that's what I was led to believe but I'm uncertain as to which menu to be working in. Eg, do I do it in the model main page or do I go into System set up. I've tried both but still having problems.

Does anyone know how I can "easily" remove voice alerts on the DX9? I just want to use switch B to speak "cruise" "Thermal" "Land" at each position of the switch. Every time I attempt to change an alert I just end up adding a second a third in addition to the one I wish to change. The manual is completely useless and I'm begining to tear what's left of my hair out. Very much appreciate if someone can help. Thanks.

Thank you Peter, I'm sure I will.

Done deal! The Tangent Kult Elektro as I posted on page 200 is soon to be mine for only 400 euros for the model + flight battery. I'm very happy to say the least.

I'll definitely be tagging along too Geoff.

What a lucky chap am I. A good friend of mine has decided to sell his Tangent Kult Elektro 3.4m as shown in the pics. I asked if I could fly it before he lets it go and he told me I could fly it during the summer as he's in no hurry to sell it which I think is a great gesture. However, if I like how it flies I might end up buying it from him anyway as he only wants 500 euros for it which I think is an absolute bargain. I'll never be in the position of buying something like it new.

If you have occasion to hop over to mainland Spain you would be very welcome to fly at my club. "Club Aeromodelismo Osca" Huesca,Spain. I have a few videos you can see at: ArtesanRC+

I I would support the idea. It may not get lots of posts but it would be good to see some projects in one place as opposed to the odd post scattered around the forum.

I built a couple of RC model boats way beck when and also had a 21ft river boat on the Grteat Ouse. At the moment I have one of these as shown in the photos. I've been thinking of selling a couple of planes to fund a boat purchase or two. Where I live there are a number of shallow ponds in the local parks which would be ideal. If I go ahead it's good to know I can post on the forum.

I have exactly the same problem.

Not too bad for a 14 year old I suppose

I have found the foam on newer FMS offerings to be as good as any with the possible exception of Multiplex. Paint peeling at edges is common with just about all foam models and FMS are no worse than others in this respect. The Super Cub 1700 is a good buy in my opinion.

I didn't know what to get my wife for her birthday today so I booked one of those dancers that pop up out of cakes at women's parties.

A still taken from a video clip of the maiden.

Thanks for the likes and comment guys. Happy to report that the maiden + 1 more flight were completed successfully this morning. A very nice model to fly and looks great in the air.

My new addition. E-flite Cessna 150T bought second hand. I added the alternative smaller wheels and spats as I have enough models with large bush wheels and I think as shown the spats add a nice classic look to the model. A few minor issues needed to be fixed to make the model flight ready. Unfortunately it was way too windy for a maiden today so I took some pics, three of which I present here. Maiden will happen tomorrow morning if all goes well.
