Depending on how much you need, you could try your local electrical retailer. If like ours they unpack stuff they deliver then a lot of it comes with decent high density foam pieces (as well as the normal polystyrene stuff) They will just dispose of it so you can get some off them and cut/glue it together to suit.

I bought some ski trousers ( sallopettes) a couple of years ago and they are great for cold windy days either at the field or on the slopes. They are designed with “braces” and a back panel so very comfy and keep your back warm as well. Well worth it at the price they usually sell them at.

There seem to be lots of fibre optic borescopes for sale that link to either a mobile phone or tablet to give you the image. They seem quite cheap and could be useful for inspecting inside of fuselages or wings as well as other DIY jobs. Anyone had any good or bad experience of them?

Using a standard 4 cell Rx pack pushed all the way down the bay, mine balanced exactly where it should. It flies brilliantly with the balance at that point. I would also say dont forget to put a bit of reflex on the elevator set up as it makes all the difference when you launch it and helps give great handling.

Simple question regarding an electric conversion of a IC model. I assume that the C of G position on an IC model is determined with the model empty of fuel, but otherwise fully built. This would then give it a (safe) slightly nose down balance when fuel is added and ensure that as fuel is burnt off the model never ends up with a rearward C of G. If then doing an electric conversion which generally will leave the C of G in the same position all the time (ignoring the slight variation of different battery weights), should you just ensure that the C of G of the built and battery fitted model is at the designed point or slightly forward?
