  4. Seems to me that all this hoo ha has been confusing, ambiguous load of codswallop.Nobody in the Aviation beaurocracy seem to know their arm from their bottom,when all we want to do is go to the flying field and fly our little non passenger carriers into the blue clear sky
  5. This whole issue has been a unmitigated mess ever since someone somewhere saw £ signs.Having dealt with the CAA in the past I personally would not trust them to run a decent bath never mind Air legislation

  9. May I point out that the swastika, is a budhist religious, symbol and not just as we see it here in the west as a Nazi symbol of terror. Buddhist temple which I have visited have tiles all the way up the tower to th top
  10. pleased as punch that Will is still trading, products are fantastic and fresh, been a bit quiet on the modelling front of late, nice to know we can maintain contact with a supplier of quality home brewed products
  11. Your power supply could be a 12 volt battery , an electric fire element straightened and a simple bow assembly , experimentation is the key as the length of wire and power input all dependent on wing span. Wing panels can be made in sections and joined.
  12. hi Andy, The original junior 60 had the tail assembly banded on to enable packing to be added to trim the aircraft in a stable glide, ,the only movable surface was a small rudder controlled by an escapement mechanism. my advice would be to do some mods and add an elevator. another good move would be to go to a club local to yourself and talk to an experienced modeller. What area do you live in ,I am in the North west
  13. Gents, I received a couple of Pdf files today from the CAA titled Miscellaneous Air Navigation Order 2016 no. 1324 and 1326 dated 28 october 2019 General exemption E4953 my understanding of theses docs is that provided we are members of recognised organisations such as BMFA, LMA we have exemption from articles 94F and 94D Edited By sticky fingers on 31/10/2019 21:30:59

  15. Just been outside In my back garden , lo and behold I observed a multi rotor flying over housing within the Liverpool ATZ and then climb to out of sight within the normal route of the ultra lights from Formby airfield ,don't know where it was flying from , may have been a police machine but it certainly gives ammunition to someone in their efforts to regulate us only supposition on my part but I,d lay odds it was flown in accordance with current requirements
  16. Just a thought gents, has anyone from the retail sector been made aware of the proposed legislation ,or made any comment in regard to their future, food for thought ,or is UK insignificant in the world of model flying
