Thats Fab Thanks Chaps. (And lovely detailing there Tim!)

Howdy - I bought the complete mass build kit in time for Christmas 2012 and have spent this holiday trying to finish it. One problem is that the canopy seems very "generous" and I wonder if I have been provided with a canopy for the bigger span Tucano rather than the Mass build version. Does anyone have a mass build version that still has its surrounding moulding and can compare?. The bulkheads (cockpit front to cockpit back are about 260mm - the canopy moulding is about 340mm. Its also about 5mm too wide all around the sides. Suggestions please?

Thats a Fokker Wolf 190 or Butcher Bird as we called it

Das is ein FW 190 nicht wahr?

And Good day to you too Andre although there' s only 37 minutes left of it

Gosh Martin - thats sounds absolutely dreadful! Reading this I realise how grateful I am to the two old gits who turn up every sunday, take on all comers and have trained dozens of model flyers over the years. The rule is that you should phone the day before so that they know whether they will have students or be flying for pleasure.. Is there any way I can arrange a model flying medal for them both I wonder?

Regarding 2.4 receiver antennae - as Geoff says the two short sections of bare wire must be kept at right angles to each other. I used a piece of snake tube formed into a right angle triangle and cyanoed with the two bare ends just overlapping - the antenna wires are fixed onto the crux point and the bare ends inserted up the open ends. This means the two ends are always at right angles and the receiver can easily be moved from model to model (yes I am poor!)

If you lived in South Essex you could join our club and we have two trainers you could use

A relative worked on the post production of this film and tells me the plane landed well short of all the beautifully arranged slo mo hi def cameras set up. Ah well - makes me feel better about all my long grass arrivals at the patch

suggest you download either Flight Radar or Plane finder then you can follow any commercial aeroplane in Europe - I have it running on the iphone and love to bore the family with details of everything that overflies

Doh! thanks Wolston Flyer - I hadn't spotted the power thread

My kit arived last Friday and I guess I wil have to build it now - please add me to the list. Gonna need help speccing up the motor, esc and batteries. Is any supplier offering a complete tech fit to match the wood, CNC, Canopy set?

Ordered a complete set last night - got an email to say Goods have been dispatched - Come on you Posties! Gimme gimme

Hi Mike - Sorry i missed this post in March . I am a member of Thurrock model flying Club and just found your post when i was testing our google factor. Gateway in Tilbury is a great club and i believe they have use of a sports hall for indoor flying. Meanwhile over in Aveley we had about 30 flyers on the line last weekend which was crowded but a great laugh. On any Sunday if there are cars parked alongside the Aveley bypass you will find us in the adjacent field. Hopefully you are sorted by now and well on your way to a A cert! Sorry the website doesn't work - we are trying to get it sorted. Regards MA

Good Stuff :Lone Wolf- roll on that B cert!
