  1. Dracan update.....fitted the servo's for the aileron's in the fuz,bit easier than wing fitting.put some more tissue covering on...i made the wing from one piece of balsa as well,no joint in the middle.......the balsa is starting to look like a Dracan....

  2. john beat me to it FB3...once you let go of the model it will fly itself away...your arm after the launch will continue up over towards your head...so be out of the way of the prop......maybe for your maiden,get someone else to launch it for you ....in case it is out of trim.....once you've done a launch,its pretty simple.

    Also nice to see the names of fellow forum members at the time of the build.

    Your right FB 3...I had read through the thread and there was some names on there you never hear from now....some who have passed on...RIP BEB(a miss)...I met him at green acres...nice lad....

    Ken Anderson....ne...1... where are they now dept.

  4. Rich,your right.....I've seen cars lying around on the streets for months with no tax,mot.

     

    Talking to someone the other day,he joked it would be cheaper to take a chance and drive without insurance and maybe get caught and fined £200....than pay some of the prices people are getting charged at the min..

  5. Flying regs will be inforced by who?....no one would be my answer....it's a fact of life that everything we do is governed by some sort of rule and regulation ....by been a member of a recognised organisation gives us some peace of mind .....but at the end of the day....it's up to each individual to do what he does following the rules etc...I cant see the point of this thread....even though I've added a comment..

  6. Thing is Peter...the ones in the forum who complain.....don't represent the total BMFA membership....in reality the rise is small compared to other increases going on....as you mentioned car insurance ☠️

  7. I changed to windows 11 and found in the first couple of days I was getting messages telling me I was running out of Cloud storage and my outlook would stop working etc!!

    Having never used Cloud storage I stopped it from using it and store my stuff on the PC as I've always done..

  8. here's a couple of photos from ne...1...Dracan construction dept....utilising Mrs A's pegs. Pretty much the same as the plan and mag...with the exception of the wing mounting, I'm changing it to one captive nut and bolt and a peg/locator at the back....and its one piece instead of a centre joint.IMG_20231130_143250.thumb.jpg.481e2875fe458794bd6ad5418c4bd451.jpg
