    Hi Chris, thanks for the info, in my shed I found an unopened tin of Ronseal Outdoor Varnish,  but it gives no info as to whether it is water based or otherwise.  It has some info regarding Q&A so I may send an e mail to them.  (Pity to waste it)  Plan B -carry out a trial.Regards fb3.

    Hi all, due to restrictions on space and weight, could any one suggest an alternative to the good old Futaba 148, to operate the throttle on an OS40. Thanks FB3

    Hi all,probably this question has been asked before.  If I spray paint (Halfords )finest) over a Solartex covered fuz,  then finish off as normal with varnish, will the varnish take to the paint.  Thanking you FB3.

    Hi all,  slightly off topic,does the "Twinstar" have a dedicated esc as supplied, or can one use a similar type as far as amps are concerned. Thanks FB3.

    Hi all,thanks to all who replied to my question re Solar tex for Puppeteer.  Solartex plus varnish put on with a roller seems the way to go.. Jim, if I could get half the finish that you got on your T/Moth I will be happy.  PS ,was it a foam or lambswool type roller. ? Thanks FB3

    Hi Timbo,I cannot create a thread in any section, but as stated nearly all other post go. I had this same problem early  last year, but I think that cleared itself. Thanks fb3

    Hi all, any computer experts out there.  I can answer a query, and  post into into a thread, but when I click on new thread and after proceeding with the question or query,I click on post and it never goes. I don't have this problem with other forums. All help will be appreciated. Thanks fly boy 3

    Hi all, does any one remember a scare about 20 years ago concerning channels 60  and 62. on 35mhz.Apparently these channels give rise to a harmonic problem  for higher channel numbers, and interferance Some fliers refused to use the numbers for whatever reason.                             I think it was similar to whether mobile phones should be used on the flight line at the present moment.  Thanks flyboy3

    Hi All,due to pc probs. I cannot post a new thread, but may be able to get in this way. On my OS40 LA, the black plastic/nylon fuel entry ,opposite the throttle is loose, and can actually be easily pulled out. I am worried that air will be sucked in at this point  and cause a dead stick situation.   Can it be fixed, or is it a gonner.  Thanks FB3

    Thanks all for usefull info on t/rods, I do not have a lot of modeling tools as yet, so has anyone any idea as to what I can make (or buy) to gouge out the rounded slots required in the aileron. Slot is around 4 to 5mm diam.  Thanks

    Hi all, I have a pair of aileron t/rods that have a nylon tube covering the metal ,to be used as a bearing presumedly.  This will have to be buried deep in the aileron.  Do I have to use the nylon tube, and if so what would be a suitalbe adhesive.  Thanks

    Hi Shaun, wonderfull place, but where exactly on the island will you be staying?.  FB3

    Yamamoto -I also learned to fly on one of these,exellent trainer, came with or without ailerons.  Could also take the usual hard landings that do happen when you are in the learning mode.  Never had any problems with nose wheel,and we used grass and tarmac. landing strips.  FB3

    Hi all, can any one suggest a suitable 25amp ESC for basic motor and set up for Easy Star. I am told it requires a bec facility and lvc.  I can find some £25 ones on line and similar on ebay with a motor thrown in for half the price.As this is to be used as a trainer, I don't want to go over board with cost.  Thanks FB3
