    No, I think it's best some folk use the right glue gun for the job, and not mess with electrical appliances. 10 out of 10 for thinking. There may well be one available soon

    move the fuel tank inside and put a Roy Lever parachute in where the tank went.

    For years and years I was guilty of only using rudder on take off, I was cured of this problem when I flew my first Precedent Stampe. I now find myself using the rudder stick even if it is a elevator-aileron only plane. Steve Carr did a really nice basic lesson flight, explaining the stick movements whilst flying one of his large planes.

    Posted by John Privett on 15/02/2015 21:31:40: Bert - it doesn't have to be a molded plug - at least not according to Norfolk Trading Standards' summary (a bit more readable than the full text of the law!) A rewireable plug may be fitted - though for some reason they must be supplied with connection instructions. (Why, if it's already fitted - as it has to be?!) And the fuse must be suitably rated - not just left by default as a 13A one! Cheers but I am in Kent things may be different LOL

    Oh boy you will have some fun with clunks in the tanks. if the clunk pipe is to long the clunk can vacuum itself to the back of the tank. If you have a hard landing or sudden stop the clunk can jam itself forward giving al sorts of issues I prefer to have fill and vent at the top and turn the plane over to fully empty the tank. If you go down the petrol route it is best to leave some petrol in the tank, they normally have a felt filter for petrol,if it dries out fine fibre particles clog up a fine filter in the carb.

    You put a bung it the vent pipe after filling the tank,
  11. bert baker
    You need to vent the tank during filling or else you will force the fuel out through the carburetor during filling, that is if the carb is open, filing that you may over pressurize the tank and pipes.

    Hmm I bet it got hot quick, I thought UK spec was a molded plug was to be fitted to appliances from new   Hmm Having looked at the Plug I have noticed it's the same as an acrylic neon sigh I purchased but never used. perhaps I should chuck it out rather than risk a fire.

    Differential is achievable with one Central servo, there are many old books out there that shows how to set it up. Of course these days things have gone modern, I still have a tin full of the elavon servo horn mixers.probabbly still worth using on a narrow fuz Edited By bert baker on 15/02/2015 20:01:04

    Posted by john davies 8 on 15/02/2015 18:54:53: My Major Mannock built in the 80's [not by me] has one central servo driving barn door ailerons on the lower wing only,ailerons move the same amount each way. If you try and turn only with aileron it initially just leans Wow I had the same thing with my Telemaster 66", back in the late eighties LMAO oh such fun

    Farnborough pass anyone. Yep I agree with above jump in a full size, preferably a Tiger moth ACDC my favorite and you will understand the above, try a cross wind day just for some extra fun Edited By bert baker on 15/02/2015 19:50:37

    Also try feeding in a little bit of rudder, it will pay dividends later with big old vintage planes. Don't over do it but do get used to feeding in some

    Wow, that's amazing Great Job Jez.

    IMOP, Yellow has to be the best color ever invented, makes a plane well easy to see in the air.
  19. bert baker
    I always think of it a being a bit like a motorcyclist putting a knee down. If set up the wrong way round it makes for some horrible flying characteristics. You tell the plane to turn right and it shoves it's nose up and tries to slide the tail into a left turn and then tries to tuck the right wing under as well. If you are a happy to fly on rudder and elevator, why not set the ailerons up slightly wrong so you can feel the difference, and then go back to rudder-elevator if you find it that bad. It is worth taking the time to set differential up

    Posted by Frank Skilbeck on 15/02/2015 17:32:48: Alistair, you are correct once banked over the ailerons are neutralized and hence there is no additional drag from the down going aileron, hmmm, Is it a flat wing only question, so were not fighting dihedral as well

    Two thumbs fresh for Cymaz.

    Hmm I seem to recall Panic's and What fours being copied many moons ago, although they weren't being resold

    I was told that the zp engines were Zenoah engines but had something like 5 modifications on them to get round some legal stuff. don't really know Redraw it and add some extra bits and rename it. Speak to Replikit they may be able to help
