Posted by PatMc on 28/07/2018 15:44:53: Just out of interest have you any idea of the location ? The vid was shot at Perranporth, Cornwall by John's long suffering and very talented wife. She does the editing too.

A few weeks back this site went from http to https, so this may be causing some issues for a few users.

Great write up and pics Phil, really enjoyed them. Love the heading pic too - neat to see some WAGS along to support their slope warriors.

Durafly (Hobbyking)new Canadian Vampire compared to old Vampire
KiwiKid replied to Rocker's topic in Electric Ducted Fan
Yip makes a great PSS glider. I have three of these models, one standard and two kits. One kit got the twelve blade EDF treatment (4S 3300 battery) and the other was built (in two hours) as a PSS glider. Great bang for a buck. Edited By KiwiKid on 17/07/2018 13:52:19 -

I have several models that (despite my best efforts) are getting, shall we say, a bit long in the tooth, the most elderly being over ten years old. It's an EDF Skyhawk and clips along at a pretty good rate, so any glitches would put her in the dirt pretty quick - vid below. It is on it's second motor and third fan unit, but still has the original servos. They seem to be chugging on fine, but I was just wondering what others experiences are with elderly servos. </</div>

If you are taking a tea and bikkies break from the building board and would like to take a wander through some excellent pics of awesome models, check out David's albums on Flickr. I have been following him for several years and really appreciate the quality and sheer volume of his work. **LINK** Edited By KiwiKid on 03/07/2018 15:37:43

My favourite model actually turned out to be a bit of a surprise as it was just a wackjob experiment I thought of one night lying in bed. I have always been keen on flying wings. Although just a small part of my modelling interests I do get a bit carried away with them - **LINK** So, I was thinking of making something scalish, but getting scratch built flying wings performing well is quite a challenge, so I decided to see if I could mod an existing design. I added some winglets (inspired by the B&V designs) to an X-8 FPV ship and came up with this 2.8m w/s brute that I call the B&V 219. It is a great park and club flyer, sloper and, on account of a fairly low wing loading, thermaller.

New 78" Vulcan for twin 90mm DF
KiwiKid replied to Tony Nijhuis's topic in Tony Nijhuis plan builders
Very nice work Greg - really starting to look Vulcanish now. I have been enjoying a very detailed account of the development of the Vulcan in this book by Tony Blackman. So much (like powered control surfaces etc) was new to them at the time and seeing how they overcame problems is very engaging. For example, the cranked wing l/e was introduced to combat buffeting at high mach numbers which threatened to scupper the whole programme. -

I have been meaning to give that Mode 3 thing a try, but it looks a bit awkward. And Mode 4 is nuts.

Indeed Erflog, a lot of people can be affected by these closures and the financial losses can be quite significant. This extract from the filing shows the major creditors - Messrs Walton and Renwick are the owners. Edited By KiwiKid on 22/06/2018 15:59:49

Noticed we have just been elevated from http to https, so presume that was part of the "sorting".
