Hi Tom,did you ever try slope soaring in Berlin? No hills nearby, so I want to be sure everything is fine if I drive approx. 2 h for slope soaring.First flights using a rubber and a winch have been successfully. Only one issue:the right flap did not went back intro neutral positive after I used crow for the 3. landing at this day. Reason was a little thermal expansion of the flap or wing because of the sunlight. The effect was reproducable so I sand a little bit at th elip of the flap.Sometimes it's a very good idea to test a new model at the flat field If this would happens at my favorite slope at 4 Bft a crash would be the result.

Hi all, I also bought a Typhoon at sloperacers and it looks good. The first hand starts at the flat field were fine. Unfortunately there is no wind for slope soaring in the next time. Tomorrow will be the first start using a rubber or a winch to check all mixers etc.. Details how to install the hook are shown at http://www.rc-network.de/forum/showthread.php?t=222851 Text is in German but the pictures shows everything important.The spae between ballast tube and fuselage has been filled with thick epoxy thru the hole for the hook. I drilled first thru the fuselage, than filled the space to the ballast tube with thick epoxy and next day I drilled the hole completely.The hook is made from a M4 mm screw.    

Hi, please give me a short statement about the quality of the painting. I read in a German forum that the surface quality of planes from RCRCM is not so good. Also some issues about the spar in the wing, some space between spar and upper / lower part of the hull.  Some space between and not complety glued. Do you have the same on your Typhoon?  Best wishes from snowy Berlin Stefan

Hello to everybody!I'm Stefan from Berlin, flying model airplanes since 1990(after the wall has been gone). All teh years mostly gliders, only a few with 2-stroke engines. During the last month I tried a helicopter, Blade mcx. Nice experience to fly in the living room with 3 cats who try to catch the "little bird". The Blase msr will be the next one because of more fun in a sports hall. But I think a bigger one isn't my goal.  For 2010 I try to spend more time in slope soaring (very hard in Berlin area because there a no real possibilities).   Maybe I'll spend some weeks in UK in 2010 or 2011 and take a plane with me. That's one reason to join this forum.  Best wishesStefan
