    I see far more danger with free flight models at the RC power Nats and old duffers flying twice a year with a poorly prepared 1930's replica of whatever !!

    So assume from that you're not going to grow old and become a OLD DUFFER perhaps you should stay away from the RC power Nats if you feel its dangerous

    to all those clubs out there that do not permit lone flying, unless you have a very good reason (public site, full size ect) then i am afraid your losing the plot, i am an adult i can drive a car on my own, i can cross a road on my own and if i really want to i can go out in the rain on my own as well, seriously guys most of us are adults and if i wish to fly on my own we should allowed to, we are still covered under the ANO and as long as we are sensible then the risks are minimal, of course there will be incident and accidents but they are very rare and we should not over-react!

    Yes we are all adults (mostly) and as such we should be able to choose whether we fly alone or not

    On the subject of your Pulse. If you buy R/C Model flyer next month there are all the details of how to build a new nose onto the model.

    I just did that for a new member.

    Just don't throw any bits away, You will need them for a pattern

    Looks repairable to me but then I'm a modeller as well as a flyer wink

    Try the trusty Multiplex Easy Glider Electric. The Pro version has a brushless motor.

    I've just come back from a session at my local Parish playing fields. Three or four 30 second climb outs gave me an hours flight utilising gentle lift that was still around.

    There's lots of clones and similar 2M jobs around - and they all seem to tick the boxes you are after.

    Easy Glider Pro for me as well ..Cheap & Cheerful !!

  5. Is there any point in sanding off (gently) the burnt residue on the wood parts or is it normal to just glue the parts together, I assume if the burnt edge would show through the covering then a gentle sanding would be exceptable, Does the residue affect the strength of the glued joint?

  6. I have both and I think that the EG pro is a more stable flyer, on the Radian I found it necessary to insert 3mm carbon rod (10") each side at the rear of the fuselage to help to stop the tail from wagging
