    Hi all,  Beside me as I write this is a nearly completed Keil Kraft Falcon. Its big, 8 foot in old money, but hopefully not too heavy.

    My query is what do I use to power it. E******* is of course not possible, and it sort of has to be a four stroke;    I have also beside me 2 candidates, a new OS V95, a bang up to date 4 stroke, which is too big, and a OS FS40 which is maybe a wee bit on the small side. What do you all think?

    i have in my possession 3 engines that might be of use to you OS Alpha, 56 ,72 and 81. the 81 is all new in its box. The other two are in A1 condition and had very little use  On price the 81 are/ were about £80 more than your 95v the 72 are £438 and the 95v are £372

     

    12v Pb starter/flight-box battery failure

    12v 7000mAh starter battery failed at patch today - had started Irvine 46 a couple of times but fell off a cliff the third time, glow meter dropped to almost nothing when using the starter.  Had been fully-charged a few days ago, used for starting and glow plug maybe a dozen times since.

     

    Back home on the multimeter it read 12.28v.  I'd always previously charged on 1A but found my charger set to 6A from the last time. Have I damaged the plates?!

     

    It is a Yasua NP7-12S, about five years old with very light use over that time.

     

    Currently re-charging at 1A. If it is damaged would repeated gentle cycling recondition it to health, or time to buy a new one?

     

    5 years old its done very well. Less than a £1 a year. Screw fix have some , just type 12v Alarm batteries

     

    Broken switch T10J

    Here you are Piers. Rear of the switch. The PCB on the rear holds 2 switches, but has a mini plug that you can remove, just pull. and 3 small pints to de solder and re solder. But make sure you get the same switch or the pins maybe in the wrong order ? if you do not feel confident then any auto electrical shop type of place will do it or a good mate that knows what they are doing. Soldering is not one of my stronger points so. a mate or shop it would be. Ripmax part No Y-T60366 looks like what you need.  £6.75 But RS components they are less than £2 Hope this a help to you.20200119_192003[1].jpg

    Trial Flights - Promoting the Hobby

    We have registered, and have had no requests as yet. Due to the fact we have 10 members not renewed for a number of reasons. Two because of the new regs/£9. three because of age 85+ one lost his job,others lost interest and no time to fly. We need members, we are looking to advertise and approach the local Air Cadets etc. I Have explained to a number of members, i at 58 are of a dying breed, a child of the 60`s / 70`s no electronic toys. It was Football, Maccano, push bikes, Kites, Balsa rubber powered Aeroplanes. It will never return to that again. So we need to get the younger ones involved somehow. We have no 10 to 20`s only 3 in their 20`s none in the 30`s, one in the 40`s, 10 in the 50`s 12 in the 60`s 9 in the 70`s and 4 in their 80`s in my club. I have just got allowing drones for want of a better name, to be allowed on trial for the next 12 months, but mornings only, to see what interest there might be out there, We only allow 4 stroke and leccy. I lost the vote on 2 strokes by the casting vote of the outgoing chairman, He is 86. Now we no longer have ASP/ SC/ Magnum engines. the cost of a new OS Alpha 56 at £300 is too much. To get someone new at a young age into the hobby.

    The Gov't, CAA, BMFA & UAV legislation thread

    From the horses mouth. Andy Symons, came to our Meeting regarding the new Regulations, He told us that While training goes on i.e. Two transmitters, Two people, on buddy lead or wireless, then the person on the slave Tx is neither the operator nor the pilot, So then need nothing as far as the law is concerned. So if Someone asked you for a go, and there is only one tx. They need to have CAA or BMFA certificate. No operator i.d. as that will be on the plane/drone to start with.
