Hi Alec Yes need to move the stuff asap. regards Eric

No - I am looking to dispose of the whole collection - sadly although worth several thousand pounds no one seems interested and it looks as if I will have to resort to the local tip.

Due to health reasons I am clearing all R/C gear and models - Futaba 14 SG Tx, SAB 700, Sab 570, Synergy 700, Trex 500 and others all ready to fly. Ammo box containg numerous Lipos. Rev Lectrix Cellpro Powerlab 6 1000W Battery charger and power supply. Numerous other items - All free to collect from South Cumbria NW UK.

Hi I started in radio control over 30 years ago with slope soaring (Veron Impala) and moved onto power - glow and petrol and finally electric. The last 5 years I have been flying helicopters - electric starting with the 450 size gradually moving up to 700. Whilst I am enjoying sports flying - no way good enough for 3D I thought I would try a scale build project. After considerable research on the web (mainly Heli Freak) it seems that anything based on existing mechanics relates to 'older' models eg,Align 600 ESP. There are of course manufacturers such as Vario but the prices are not far short of full size! My fleet consists of Align 450,500 L Dominator, 700L Dominator, SAB Goblin 500, 700, Compass Atom 500, Mikado Logo 550. None of the aforementioned seemed to have been used as the basis for a scale model. Has anyone any suggestions for a first time project?

Hi Have done exactly the same thing- ie bought a T-FHSS rx! guess I'm just stuck with it.

Hi I've just completed the yeti flying wing with the 4 max set up and its great fun to fly. However my taped finish is very shoddy to look at (full of creases etc) and I am more at home covering balsa models in Oracover ets I was wondering if a glass cloth covering would be ok bearing in mind its a foam model and I don't think the weight should be an issue looking at the state of the present covering. Has anyone ever glassed a foamie?

Hi Have ordered and received the Cambrian Spitfire funfighter for electric power. Was wondering whether it would be feasible to use separate servos in the wing for ailerons as I'm not keen on the torque rod set up? The motor I thought of using was a PPPO-3536-910 outrunner but note from 4max web site an inrunner is recommended! any thoughts?Eventually it is my intention to glass cloth the model and use Humbrol war paint colours.

Hi My 500 heli is powered via 6 cell 3300Ma Lipo and I have 6 charged up at a time.In order to speed up the charging procedure I charge them in parallel (app.45 mins).To date I have not been able to find a lipo charging safety bag that will accommodate all 6 and therefore charge them outdoors but would prefer to use the garage. Does anyone know if such a safety sack is available anywhere?

Hi As far as I am aware the PL6 automatically calculates the 13.2 amps charge rate.

Hi I've got the PL6 charger up and running and tried out parallel charging 4 6s 3300mAh power packs and admit I was somewhat disappointed with the overall time charging took (almost 2 hours). Maybe I should increase the charge rate from 1c to 2c?

Hi From what I can gather therefore it seems best to run the power supply at the max. voltage the charger can take ie. 24V.
