[FREE TO A GOOD HOME! NOW TAKEN.]

Hi Robert, please don't take them to the recycling center, I will take them and I am happy to pay the postage. Steve

[Electric glider tug]

Thank you Wookman.

The tug pilot did make sure the line was on top of the servo and in theory the line should never be that low again, sods law says it will at some point. I have suggested perhaps some balsa or wire going from the tail plane to the top of the fin done on both sides at an angle so the line could pass over the fin if needed.

Hi Neil, we are in the early stages of trying the tow glider thing, still learning for the tug pilot and me the glider pilot, we can see the tug needs to do a shallower climb to keep momentum as a couple of the tows have come to a stall, obviously once I realised/seen the tug was/had stalled I released from the tow.

[Forum members' new models: Let's see them.]

My latest build, laminate film covering (purchased from Ron Gray ?) and a spitfire diesel engine, I have named it "Naked Princess" because I have covered it in laminating film, no colour. Yet to maiden as it is a total of 1lb11oz I am waiting for the wind to go down a little. Steve

[Laser Engines development.]

For my FT200, I would have dumpy plus (being greedy now) just the header stubs so I can make my own silencers as I did with my lavochkin, if you started doing the flexi again that would be great.

[Are JMB exhausts still going/ in business?]

Hi Rod, have you tried IAD Model Designs maybe worth a try.

[Bank Holiday Weekend.]

Saturday, had three flights with my turbo prop Tucano, one flight with my soarcerer with a paw 09 up front.

 

Sunday, three flights with 1/4 scale cub powered by a laser.

 

Monday two flights with 1/5 scale corsair and lots of flights from the bungee with pod and boom, V tail glider, unknown name but is like a DLG, typically when I did manage to catch a thermal I had waring of low RX battery, all in all I had a great weekend ?.

[Laminating film - buying it and using it.]

Hi Ron, just to say a big thank you for going to the trouble of supplying "another batch" of film, I received mine today ?

[Laminating film - buying it and using it.]

[Laser fly in at national centre?]

I was lucky enough to pick up an original "Retlas" kit still in the box, below is what I had to start with but the tail planes are foam core on mine. I am going to fit the 240v when time permits.

That typhoon is awesome, and the la5 is cool too. If my sc radial experiment fails i will slap the 300 back in my la7. How big is the la5?

The La5 is 1/5 scale 80".
