Out of interest that "link" by Dave Bran is waaaay out of date, to my certain knowlege four of those clubs no longer exist and some others have moved/changed names, even the "link" site is mainly ancient with the last activity on it being Sep' 2013. Best club finder info' is of course the bumpha site and even that contains errors and misinformation.

5 of us usually go to the big uns, but Biggles has a good point, ie, same old stuff mostly and after last years Weston / Friday debacle all 5 of us are going to NONE !!

I too had very bad experiences with Carbon Copy, ordered a cowl and u/c for a Weston Hype, the u/c was terribly thick and did'nt have any flex at all and futhermore it simply did'nt fit the plane, it needed huge chunks cutting off to make it fit, the cowl also did not fit the plane being too small an opening to slide onto the fuz', threw 'em both in the bin, absolute rubbish !!

Brill, !! thats a few pilot makers out of business then.

Total non event, overeaction from met office, just a normal wet and windy night down south, everywhere else calm with a bit of rain.

Copies of DLE engines and made in China, been out in the USA for a while, I can't find any bad reviews only positive ones, I have one and it was on ebay, new, 99p start price, won it for only £72 !! and more of the same going like hot cakes, £64 being the lowest winning price I've seen so far, you can even lease these engines in the states, (30cc/60 twin/65 single). There is now a UK importer/seller, www.agm-engine.co.uk Have bench run mine a couple of times and seems great with Rexel ignition module and Walbro carb.

DLE !!!!!

The incident was real, 1983 it occured, the tv prog' used CGI imagery and other incident stock footage to re-create the event for the documentory, the only actual imagery taken was that shown at the end of the programme and right at the end of the above y/tube vid', when the manufacturers engineers came to examine the aircraft they thought it was a taxying accident and could'nt believe it flew it that condition.

SPEKTRUM, MUCH EASIER TO USE AND UNDERSTAND.

I have 6 large petrol power planes all on Spektrum receivers and a DX8 tranny, all totally perfect.

It's the A487 in Mid Wales, Cadier Idris mountains which are stand left and right of the A487, the main piccy shooting sites are "Cad West and Cad East" , there are other sites dotted around Mid Wales, there is a large lay by approx' 2.4 miles from the Cross Foxes Inn, ( which stands on the A487-A470 junction), park in the lay by and start climbing !!!

WHAT A TOTAL RIP OFF !!! will NEVER go again, as per the previous posts, hardly any trade presense, half of those there closed, swap tent closed, about one tenth of the normal show planes present on the flight line, the final straw was to find out that us morning arrivals paid full whack of £11 and midday onward arrivals only paid £6. Felt sorry for the german jet display team to travel that distance to find such a dismal show. I WANT A REFUND MR BISHOP !!!

I've had 3 Jen's, (they are actually Vmar engines, remember them !!) one had the front bearing fail after ten minutes on Model Tech' 5% nitro, another one straight out of the box was so tight a Sullivan starter could.not turn it over and I don't mean the normal ABC nip ! , this was replaced, third one ran reasonably well but as previous posts mention the throttling on all of them was very poor. BAD,BAD,BAD....

Posted by David Holland 2 on 26/05/2013 19:41:08: I always find it useful, when checking aileron sense, to make sure "the aileron you point the stick at rises". It can be quite confusing trying to visualise aileron operation at a quick glance. Works for me! Not if you happen to do that and you're in front of the plane !!

My Goldwing 30cc DLE Sbach has just had it's first flights, CG set as per the manual, (came out dead on with no juggling batt' position or adding weight), flew superbly, did'nt even have to give a single trim click!!, one of the best knife edgers I've encountered. Verdict, fantastic quality and ditto flyer.
