I have no idea where that "Cookies" business appeared from. My apologies.

I agree cymaz, the annoyance factor is rising every time I visit!

Good luck with your 1700. I think you'll like it.

I find it rather annoying too!

[FMS Pa 18 1700mm Super Cub]

I have the 1700mm version.

Super easy to fly with no vices and looks good in the air. My only gripe is with the wheels and the landing gear itself.

 

The wheels are too big, too hard and too heavy - I swapped them for some 5" dubros which work and look a lot better. The gear is way too stiff and offers no give whatsoever. I removed the springs completely which allowed the gear to flex a little. I made up a more scale like spring set up which still allowed the gear to flex upon landing.

 

The flaps are very effective and help to make long, slow passes over the strip. The model is mildly aerobatic if that floats your boat but, I think it looks best being flown in a scale like manner. Also great for touch and goes. Very relaxing to fly.

Linn prices have always been extortionate. I see nothing's changed 😲!

I think the basic price of the Linn LP12 in the 80's was about 400 notes without arm and cartridge. I spent many hours in the "Audiofile" in Bishops Stortford listening to all sorts of gear that was way, way over my price range. Linn Lp12 + Naim amps + Linn Isobariks. Oh what happy days.

My Rega Planar 3 is not a memory. Bought in 1988 it’s still going strong, despite being mostly usurped by a streaming media player and Spotify these days.

I have a close competitor to the Regas which I bought in 1984 - The "Revolver". It presently resides in my Mother's loft - I hope to rescue it soon. I may not use it but I might use it as a piece of wall art.

It’s only selling for $100 in the US. Now if it was a Rega or Linn......different story 😝

I have fond memories of Rega and Linn turntables - your post has just taken me back years.

[Winter is here....who's been flying?]

Seven weeks to this day, I fractured 3 Metatarsels in my foot and also chipped the bottom of my Tibia, seriously inhibiting my ability to get about of course. Of those 6 weeks 4 of them have been perfect for flying, a little chilly at times but mostly blue skies and very little wind. Typical!

Postscript to the above: If I could find a new one I'd snap it up in a shot!

[The Multiplex Mentor]

Another fan of the Mentor here. I flew a friends as a tug for some glider towing and loved it. He left it to almost die and I persuaded him to let me have it. It's in a poor state but I do intend to repair it and fly it again. I remember such easy landings with it; a wonderful model.

Hi Outrunner, not quite.

It was a special event we arranged with another club from Barcelona.

The pilots were from all over Spain, with others from Portugal, France, Italy and Denmark. In total there were 80 pilots and 120 planes.

It was a fantastic weekend!

I'm a very happy Twinstar owner and flyer too. Mines somewhat plain compared to the examples shown but it flies on a regular basis and flies great and super easy to land.
