Mr.B.

At what voltage?

I assume Cymaz is referring to this section of the Articles or Association as recently circulated by the BMFA ahead of the AGM. I see nothing untoward here. We can't expect the BMFA officers to represent us and work on our behalf but deny them finical protection. 6.4.2. Insurance 6.4.2.1. The Board may decide to purchase and maintain insurance, at the expense of the Society, for the benefit of any relevant Director in respect of any relevant loss. 6.4.2.2. In this Article: 6.4.2.2.1. a "relevant Director" means any Director or former Director of the Society or an associated company; 6.4.2.2.2. a "relevant loss" means any loss or liability which has been or may be incurred by a relevant Director in connection with that Director's duties or powers in relation to the Society, any associated company or any pension fund or employees' share scheme of the Society or associated company; 6.4.2.2.3. and companies are associated if one is a subsidiary of the other or both are subsidiaries of the same body corporate. Also 6.4. Directors' Indemnity and Insurance 6.4.1. Indemnity 6.4.1.1. Subject to Article 6.3.1.2 6.4.1.2 a relevant Director of the Society or an associated company may be indemnified out of the Society's assets against: 6.4.1.1.1. any liability incurred by that Director in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the Company Society or an associated company; 6.4.1.1.2. any liability incurred by that Director in connection with the activities of the Company Society or an associated company in its capacity as a trustee of an occupational pension scheme (as defined in Section 235(6) of the 2006 Act); 6.4.1.1.3. any other liability incurred by that Director as an officer of the Society or an associated company. 6.4.1.2. This Article does not authorise any indemnity which would be prohibited or rendered void by any provision of the Companies Acts or by any other provision of law.

Anybody going this weekend? Popham model show

Marc, 1. Spektrum Rxs do not come pre bound to the Tx 2. A flashing LED means the RX is not bound 3. No led means no power to the Rx or a dead Rx 4. You are unlikely to have damaged the Rx by inserting the power the wrong way round 5.You do not need a bind plug with this Rx 6.If you have a satellite this should be connected Check the power supply is correct. I have a had a Speky Rx that died straight out of the box so it's not unknown. Can you post a photo of your set up?

Last time I ordered from them (just over a year ago) they ignored my order on their website and emails but responded to an order through their ebay shop. Looks like the web site is dormant.

I had analogue servo twitching issue with an AR9030, updating the firmware fixed it. Spektrum don't put this in the manual. Edited By Mr.B. on 04/03/2019 18:35:48

Posted by john stones 1 on 18/09/2018 14:15:00: Our car park is almost a 100 yds away from one flight line, even farther from our other flight line. I know of flightlines where the people almost fly out their car boots, others slightly further back, is it the proximity or the pilots at fault ? what's the answer to this one ?

Dave, PM sent.

I thought that too after posting, so it's now soaking in glow fuel and I'll try again in a few days. The hot air gun on max got it too hot to hold with welding gloves. To get it hotter would require a butane torch. Or there is a small machine shop nearby by who have a bearing oven.

I need to change the bearing on my YS50ST heli engine. With YSs to remove the piston you first have to pull the liner out. I have heated it with a hot air gun, domestic oven, soaked it in penetrating oil, pulled it, tried a small peace of wood through the exhaust and transfer ports and pushing with the piston and a brass drift on the bottom of the liner with increasingly big hammers. All to no avail. Any ideas any one (other than to buy an OS)?

Peter, Your last post identifies what is going on. Your insurer have passed the claim onto a claim handling company. The handling company collected your car, are having it repaired and provided the hire car. They are whacking a healthy mark up on the repair and the hire car which they hope to reclaim from the other drivers insurers. The longer they can spin this out the more they make. Oh,and if they can't reclaim it from the other insurer guess where they will turn. Check carefully anything you have signed. If you were fully comp you did have the right to refuse the claim handling company and insist your insurer sort it out. I bet they didn't tell you that. Push hard to get this sorted ASAP. Claim handlign companies are why premiums are so high.

Higher flow through the carb = high pressure difference = carb sucks fuel harder.

Tony, First, a couple of things. If the aircraft is cork screwing down it's not spinning it's in a spiral dive. And you said "sticks in the corners" you should (for the B test) enter the spin using elevator and rudder only. Spins result from stalling one wing. Therefore the entry must be right on the point of stall. Get high. Really high. reduce power. Keep pulling elevator to stop the nose dropping and slow the aircraft then just before it stalls add full rudder and pull the rest of the elevator if there is any left. It make take half a turn to a turn to develop into a full spin. For the B test you can add alieron now to keep it in the spin. The aircraft will rotate around it's CofG and not crock screw. Difficulty entering the spin can be because a)CoG to far forward b)not enough elevator throw c) entry to fast. Some models spin better one way than the other. What model are you using? Good luck.

Thanks chaps.

John, A friend as asked me to make a adapter to fit the exhaust to a old second hand 1.20. I can turn an adpter but how did the exhaust fit? Or is this the wrong pipe for the engine? Thanks
