[Hobbyking UK & brandings]

i have had a few HK planes and all be ok

just remember its all made to a budget on one i changed 2 servos that stripped and a different prop

[It's Injury Time!!!]

the cut on my thumb i was cutting away from my self just a shame a was holding the other end

but i can now feel and move my thumb all be very little so i think a good job done as was told expect to loose the nerves that side

and as for the prop strike model was restrained i was just thoughtless and my hand went in the arc

its just a so-and-so trying to get blood out of balsa and not being able to even think of flying for more than 12 weeks

as for the futaba issue so easy done may be fail safe wrong way round and tx turn off and back on when coming out of programing

so easy to say should off done this or that afterwards

[It's Injury Time!!!]

dont worry your not the only one

i was cutting out flaps this time went A&E with small 10mm cut

ended up like this they had to look for the tendons and nerves to rejoin them

like this for 12 weeks

this is a ic prop strike this year

[Servo Plug crimpers]

solder them and use small pointed pliers to bend crimps in get a lot better joint

[Repairing a scratched/chipped prop]

even on a little plane like that prop spins at high rev

if you really need to use it take it of and reblance it afterwards

if its the very end point ok but further down no

[deagostini spitfire]

no no no they are really bad many never got past first flight poor engines and some say all the parts were not made  and if you didnt make it can you trust it

[delta c of g]

you need to get cog as on plan what engine are you using should be 46 ish

are you doing cog with a full fuel tank ?

if you have to have servos at back and rx and battery over tank if not further back

deltas can fly slowly you dont have to fly flat all the time and keeps your rates low

it worth doing right a good delta is great no fixing wings on no screws to loose or leave behind

[Soldering...for beginners - please keep it simple]

this is good to watch

[Do you have a multi-rotor?]

yes i have multi rotor if DB auto gyro twin head counts

[Regulators]

been using life / a123 for years without any regulator

using in transmitter as well now as mine only take 4cell

unless you are flying for the whole day 1 battery should be fine if you need to add lead then use 2 battery one on engine 1 for rx

[Which transmitter?]

specktrum dx7s is that sort of price

i would go taranis but i got pc and love all that sort of programing

[Battery charger needed]

the imax is a good all rounder can even charge you car battery with it

i use a old computer power surply you get 5volts and 12 volts from it or a lap top power surply but they often will not give enough when charging at high rates

[Mini Jazz builders hangout.]

my battery just behind tank

i use same life battery for a lead use a normal servo lead and take end sleeve off on the pins fits a treat and on a b6 charger balance plug and got 3 planes with the battery left in all time

[Mini Jazz builders hangout.]

i used a emax 2826 with battery right up front no lead needed on a 11x7

[ESC and BEC with an older receiver]

just plug it in to 3 and done

[LIPO gone fat]

check on meter if 3 cell still charged ok then use it a little puffing up dont hurt

if its flat try a slow charge and see what happens just dont charge it on the wifes new dinning room tabble

[bh tornado no take off just taxis]

well from this thread i have learnt so much thank you all

no i dont have a incidence meter

the cog calc i use most say a 124mm not 110mm cog so trying that next time out and will also try front of wing higher as well

and report back

[bh tornado no take off just taxis]

cog dead on factory settings

the webra that on there now is giving 3kg of static thrust

i did put a high front wing mount holes but never tried it in end as webra was pulling it off ground will try it next time out

i dont get about tail wheel when its at speed the tails comes up and lift off before it gets near the ground with up elevator

[bh tornado no take off just taxis]

upside down needs a lot of push on the sticks about 3/4 of the full throw to level out

looking at prop there up thrust so i put some down thrust in and will try that next time

[bh tornado no take off just taxis]

sorry cant say about flying upside down cant remember fly upside down will try next time out

would be interested to know if there was any other tornado owners out there if theres are the same

looked on some reviews and no one else say its a pain to get off ground

but now i can drag it off the ground it does put a smile on me face glad i stuck to it not often a plane beats me

[delta wing]

ripmax rapier extreme outlaw

[bh tornado no take off just taxis]

wing to tail both level no AoA with tail at zero

[Durafly Auto-G Gyrocopter 821mm (PNF)]

hobbyking £56 mark 1 £61 mark 2 plus postage from uk there a shop on ebay was charging £99 now £119 for mark 2 with auto start and £95 for mark 1

[bh tornado no take off just taxis]

i try and get photo done today

plane behind is a high wing cub

and yer its a normal as can be zebra ex yellow cub can be

[OS Max or OS LA]

la does have liners i got 2 a 40 and 46 the 40 line worn away and now no compression

i all ways LA was a piece of junk and wouldnt give it time off day because of the first one the 40

then got the 46 la it starts it turns a prop enough to get the plane in the air and it runs until the fuel runs out what more do we need from a engine
