  1. Jim thanks for your reply but it is the bottom wheel and its a little bit more complicated as the drive belt is atatched to it thanks to you also Chadock good clip but again the wrong wheel i have been told to turn it on it,s side stand and all ,then maybe i can get enough leverage to pull it on will keep you advised as to how i get on Regards Bernard.
  2. Help wanted, i have a Record 250 bandsaw, and it has a broken wheel tyre, idid not think they had tyres on . Anyway i have managed to obtain a new tyre, wonders of the internet.Its the bottom wheel ,the one with the drive belt atatched.the new tyre has to be soaked in hot water to help it stretch, it looks far to small for the wheel The wheel will have to come off to replace the tyre , this is my problem, never having done this sort of thing before and dreading not being able yo put it back together Has any one done thisjob before, better still someone living close to haydock park willing to give up a bit of time ll expenses would be remburst. hope someone can help. regards to all Bernard.
  3. Epoxy is the best i have found,cut a hole in the wood surface and glue them level with the surface.
  4. i had this motor installed in a Radio Queen,on opening the throttle all is well until i reach about three quarters open and the screaming starts,It is on a Turnigy Plush 80 amp esc and a wooden prp13/6 first thoughts were ihe prop slipping,so it was changed for an apc/e again . It was still the same so i changed the motor for the same but bigger ,a4260 this is running fine no problems, it has a 14/7.Have i got a duff motor, has anyone experienced a similar problem. The Radio Queen will go like a pylon racer ,but i suppose thts why they put throttles on yhese new style trannys.
  5. Just took delivery of 72 inch plan pack from the nice people at D.B.Sport and scale , the lazer cut wingribs are great quality.Iwillupdate with progress as and when.

  7. A taken with a KAMCO KADETT on Valley airfield in Anglesey in a howling gale but it,t always windy up there. No desire to take a B but we never know do we.
  8. arrived today ,one of the first this is a record as mine is in the shops before it arrives most months, GREAT.
  9. Still not arrived today 30th. gets worse every month . Icould buy it in the shops today. Not impressed
  10. Kamco Kadet is a very good trainer,plans are still around .Another good one is the R.M.Trainer plans from my hobbystores.
  11. Deivered this morning,due in the shops tomorrow.
  12. Solarfilm do make a limited range of Polyester film , Ilove the stuff and use it on vintage models.Agood source of supply is Balsa Cabin,they have all the colours available in stock
  13. Ibought a 100 amp speed controller from Hong Kong it did not work at all I only soldered on the 4mm gold connectors. IT TOOK 6 MONTHS AND 20 E MAILS TO RECEIVE A CREDIT NOTE. This is not satisfactory. Having said that I still buy from them and in over 100 orders that was the only problem.they save us so mutch money even after paying the postage . It would be great if they had a UK based complaints department , and someone on the end of the phone.
  14. Thanks to all, it seems leave it all as per plan,and it will be O.K.
  15. I am builing a radio queen from a Ben Buckle plan,this shows the downthrust as none sidethrust as none.Having built a Super Sixty last year this does not seem right, does anyone know how it should bet will be electric powered.
  16. AFlair INTROVERT, ANYONE REMEMBER THIS ONE COULD BE BUILT AS A HIGH OR LOW WING MODEL.FLEW VRRY WELL IN BOTH FORNATS.
  17. Not arrived yet ,thats nothing new though,its often in the shops before i get mine.
  18. Ihave been on 2.4 since horison first launched it in the UK it came as a Godsend and just in the nick of time as our field was being swamped with inerference every Suday from 1pm to 5pm.No one ever found why,but I went over to 2.4 and never looked back.I still have 4 Futaba skysport 6A sets on 35 meg and also my old futaba gold .In conclusion flying is all on 2.4 now with a JR 11X on DSM2.
  19. An uncle used to build large freeflight models arond 1956-1960 spark ignition power, I was allowed to chase and help recover the models .The die was cast and that was me hooked.
  20. Try solarfilm polyester on it, they do 6 matt colours and i love the stuff
  21. Martin, most interested ,have just finished the Bird Dog free in this months Model World and this wopuld be a nice next build.
  22. Tried them all. I cover a lot of models as i make them for others SOLARFILM. IS THE BEST SOLUTION TAKING INTO ACCOUNT PRICE AND EASE OF USE . IT GOES AROUND CORNERS BETTER THAN OTHERS DOES NOT NEED AS MUCH HEAT AND DOES NOT WEAR OUT BLADES AT AN ALARMING RATE
