    the flight battery runs receiver servos etc and the main battery just runs the motor, andrew supplies a piggyback connection to whatever your lipu connects with cheers Peter

    as Richard says Andrew (Mr rc sound) is a great bloke, I have one of his systems and after removing it from a model, I set it up on a bench to try something out. The result was that the set up didnt work, after a few emails back and forwards to Andrew we worked out why, The model that it had been in had a flight battery in and as usual I switched this on before connecting the main battery, the set up on the bench I just plugged in the lipo which also fed the sound system, as the receiver takes a few seconds to initiate as does the esc the sound system initiated straight away, with a result that it could not find the start up position for the motor and as a consequence initiation failed. This was simply fixed by a switch in the feed to the sound board to make sure that lipo connected first the sound system. Sounds simple and obvious now but it took a lot of head scratching to sort.

    P51b in invasion colours for me, the 2 large lavochkins have been finished, the laser80 flys a treat, the other was built for electric by another club member.it was maidened just at the end of last year and was reported as a great flyer (I havent seen it due to lockdown). Richard if you do the 51b you can have my money now. cheers Peter

    Try A3-L hobbyeagle gyro from Bangood at£17.00, these are very good simple gyros and can be seen on you tube controlling a me109. I had one in a Fokker d1 and that transformed it particularly on take off. Very simple to set up Cheers Peter

    Having received my big brown cardboard box, admired the contents and gleaned as much as I can get from the plan and the paperwork I see that Richard forecasts that his model accurately copies the originals in that the take off is , putting it mildly,variable,I once built a Fokker d8 which because of a high stance and very forwards u/c would take of in any one of 360 different directions, irrelevant of where I had pointed it, often giving me stern looks from other club members to the effect that ours was NOT a free flight club and some of the older members were in the heart attack zone. and would I stop causing distress as the plane took off behind me,finally, as I use Spektrum tranny and Lemon receivers, I found out that Lemon provides a small and cheap gyro receive which I swiftly purchased, fitted it for normal operation but gyro on the rudder only and proceeded to try, what a difference , much gain on the rudder kept the Fokker on a pretty straight track and the gyro was switched off when airbourne. Peace returned to our little field, and I was no longer heard refered to as that little Fokker, no not the plane, YOU!!! It might be worth a try Peter Edited By peter harvey 1 on 16/01/2018 16:50:57 Edited By peter harvey 1 on 16/01/2018 16:52:59

    Ron , that was a good idea, I for one will want a sound system, if we can get a few others perhaps Andrew will do a deal with us Peter
  11. peter harvey 1
    That's what I did , I also removed circa 4 mm from the end of the silencer which helps considerably with fitting the cowl. I have some silicone tubing , from just engines, which fits over the laser silencer and can if wished be fitted after the cowling is in place and doesn't look out of place. . The throttle cable exits through the wall of the exhaust deflector . cheers Peter

    Nigel, never tried a sound system, but it sounds great (no pun intended ), when you get it up and running could you give us an intro into how you do it, it would be much appreciated by someone like me who has just dabbled with the dark side cheers Peter

    and the east german judge gives the model G 10.0 and E 1.0 happy building Peter

    When I did this it just needed a slight smoothing, as I covered with Tex it was not really visible as I trimmed the undersurface up to the edge of the strip and the top covering went over the rear edge and over the joint on the underside cheers Peter

    I did it the other way and made a dummy firewall 10mm thick in front of f1 to fit the cowling, this helped as with the Laser 80 the cofg came out in the correct place, balanced my strengthening of the tail end, as per the very first build ie adding 1/16 ply doublers under tail seat Peter

    Hi Richard, take the question mark off my name , will be having one as G model Peter
  19. peter harvey 1
    not yet but on the smaller version I have no down or side thrust and that flies well.The surpass should be grand and easier to install than the laser which requires a larger cutout for the silencer, on the smaller version I had a 52surpass and I left the silencer all within the cowl, a short piece of silicone tubing fitted over the silencer and this protruded through the cowling and could be removed before taking off the cowling tubing from just engines Peter
