    H,i Sorry about the delay in answering. My DH2 in the photographs is based on the Mike Roach free plan from an old Scale Models magazine. His design was rudder elevator, but i added ailerons (all four of them), carbon fibre booms and a bit of scale detail. Both elevator and rudder are closed loop. The model spans aprox 37", flies on a RCM Direct 2212/10 motor with a 30 esc. And a 3cell 1600 lipo. It weighs 1lb 10oz. It flies very well, but has some interesting traits probably due to the fact there is no 'fuz'. Sometimes right aileron with left rudder being the order of the day ! Whilst watching your build. I have 'matted' many gloss rtf's and my successful way is to spray them with Spectra satin fuel proofer, with no preparation to the film. It seems to eat into the covering and does not flake off. Just an 'easy way out' tip

    I Love em ! I've built two. A third scale one that you may have seen flown at the shows by Ian Redshaw, and this electric version based on the Roach plan

    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

    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
