I've often used a steel ruler, as Allan says, just lay it on the sealing iron for a few minutes before use, works a treat. I'll certainly take a look at these "Quilting irons" though

Hi Simon,
Reading your build. very interesting. Are you aware that Mick Reeves sell self adhesive alluminium foil ,I use it a lot on my scale models and can highly reccomend it. Kev

Hi Roy, Noticed your article. I've built two DH2's one electric, and one at third scale petrol power. I love em ! I made my own wheels, it looks very realistic if you glue balsa "spokes" round two discs of light ply with balsa sandwiched between , then you can cover it with solartex,.looks just like the real thing. I have pictures of my electric model on my photo album on this site, if you want insparation
Best regards Kev Wesley

Hi Bob, Just something i remember learning from someone , or somewhere from days gone by when trying not to lose valve collets on a four stroke engine. If you put the motor into a clear plastic bag big enough to get your hands in when removing the cir-clip, if it flies off it cant get lost (or hit you in the eye !) cos it stays in the bag

Lengthening Wires
in ESCs (Speed Controllers)

Hi, Just my humble practical opinion. Ive been flying a Blackhorse Mosquito for at least 3 seasons now. (over fifty flights) both speed controllers are in the nacelles with approx 400mm lead to them from the battery which is in the nose of the aircraft. I have had no problems with this set up At all. I also have 4mm bullet connectors in mid length, so i can remove the wings when i need too. Right or wrong, its worked for me without a hiccup
