  1. On Angelwing's website there's no sign of the Blink anymore! Will it ever come back?
  2. I have since replaced the Rx with a *cough*cough*corona and had many enjoyable problem free flights, including many speck height flights...
  3. We have since been in contact with other Futaba users, flying large scale models and jets. They confirmed that, according to their experiences (and crashes), the R23008SB is not compatible with the 14SG. I contacted Futaba, but so far they've been silent.
  4. Has anyone have had any problems with their Futaba SG14 Tx and a Futaba R2008SB Rx in a F5J setup? There's 3 of us in our club with the same setup, and we all have had crashes due to erratic elevator behaviour, followed by total loss of control...
  5. I am in shock. So, so sad. An immense loss to all. We never met, but were in contact on the various www applications. Always ready for a bit of banter and sound advice. Missing you already. My heartfelt condolences to the blond person and all the family, may you have a long, healthy life, with fond memories.
  6. I am notoriously adept in getting hinges poorly aligned, not straight, etc, resulting in badly aligned, and warped control surfaces. If I were to use pin hinges, what size should I get?
  7. The Phase6 kit does not come with a plan (or at least the one I have lying on top of the cupboard, next in line to be build). I have the instructions if you like.
  8. What really ticked me of was, only one shop would ship to me, at 160 Pounds. I know the size and weight of the parcel. It's 4cm too big to use regulare UK Parcel Post. I've checked various courier services. As a private individual, prices range from 55 to 145 Pounds. Not 160. And if you have a contract with a courier service, you get discounts. Right, getting of my soapbox now.
  9. I've ordered one from T9, and have it send to my brother in Holland. I hope to visit him next year and pick it up. Or he'll send it to me by regular parcel mail at a fraction of the cost they wanted to send to Israel...
  10. As I wrote before, there's no email on his contact page, and I tried sending a fax several times, but the phone number never picks up.
  11. Does anybody know if Chris Foss has an email? It's not on his website...
  12. Which Cambria(n) are the better slopers? Are they both similar in build (i.e. foam laminated wings)? Not much info about the models on the Cambria (without n) website.
  13. I may be having a senior moment here... Are there Cambria (without "n") funfighters, and Cambrian (with "n") funfighters?
  14. Did that. They only ship by courier, which makes shipping more expensive than the kit(s).
  15. Hi, I am trying to find Chris Foss dealers outside the UK. I'm thinking of getting a Phase 6, but postage from the UK is silly expensive. On Chris Foss's website there is no mention anywhere, and no email address to contact. Only a phone/fax number that I've tried several times, without success. Can anybody help, please?
  16. Has anybody ever converted a Cambria funfighter to PSS slope soarer?
  17. A friend of mine (no, really) is looking for the plans, or kit, or kit & plans of the E3D of Garry Wright. It's an old one, from the late '90s, early 00's Can anyone point us in the right direction please?
  18. Has anyone build and/flown the Tailless Speedy Bee? Sarik is selling the plans and a wood kit, and I am intrigued... Can't find anything about her on the www.
  19. Posted by Stephen Belshaw on 06/10/2019 11:07:16: ... failing that an email to Chris would probably get you that info Tried contacting him by email and PM on RCGroups. Never received an answer...
  20. Thanks! I have the article (and the plan), but there are not many build pictures there.
  21. Has anybody build the Go-1 Wolf from the (I think) December 2018 free plan? I see Sarik is now selling the wood parts, and am sorely tempted. Problem is, there's no towing done over here, and our slope landing areas are only good for foamies, or anything you don't mind getting dented/scratched/mangled, etc. So I am thinking of adding a *gasp* motor in the nose. (I know...I'll go and stand in the corner for an hour when I've posted this...) I've seen some scale gliders in the Alps that had motors, and if you can combine the prop color with the nose color it's nearly not visible... So, build pictures anyone?
  22. The fitting of RC components is not a problem. I am well versed in that. I have no experience in powering a glider this size. Hence my quest for advise what to use as powertrain... Edited By Rene Wallage on 09/08/2019 07:52:37
