 Thanks every one ,better to be forewarned ,Im still going to build one ,I'll have to have a think and see which way to go cheers TD

 Yes ,Thanks for that . It's not often a model grabs me but this one did ,so it could be my little project until the weather behaves .cheers TD

  HI Dave! Welcome ,I had a 20yr break,I just got my self a trainer and poodled about ,It will all come back to you just relax and enjoy , Good Luck.   TD

 Have'nt been flying now for a couple of weeks ,I was looking forward to going today   sunday but no wo'nt happen  not at my club, mind you it is freezing so just have to wait for another day , just have to watch a few vids of it instead of doing it , never mind .TD

  Thinking of getting one ,But first i need to get some comments from guys who have one ,I don't want to go electric on this one i would rather go ic ,also understand there is a bit of digging out on the nose  and would the engine go in a bit side ways  so as to get the silencer underneath , any helpful comment would be gratefully received.  cheers TD

 What a smashing little model ! can't wait to get my hands on the plan all ready got the motor and esc, Very nice  job you've done as well.

  Hi! Turbycat ,welcome to the forum.

 Trusty just remember you are there to enjoy you'r self ok? it's as beb says dont rush take yur time and enjoy the A cert will come sooner than you think .just get as much stick time in as you can you WILL reap the rewards .

 HI Trusty! regarding the buddy box ,you can use a compatible tranie buddied to you'rs  and the plugs can be diferant for instace say futabais a square plug and another one could be round so you can get leads with a square one end and a round the other also if you Buddy up to a square plug you get a lead with tow square plugs ,i got one of each you will find that it;s not BMFA rules to use a buddy box it is up to the club you join ,it's better if you do use it as you'r instructor can get you out of any problems that may arise .

   Jeeeeeeez! That was fast How the hell does he keep on top of that speed ?

   Hi trusty! Glad your ready to rock just take your time . I go to the Nat's every year ,that's were you see some awesome models and the flying is outstanding ,also there are lots of trade stands were you can find things you wouldn't normally find i a model shop ,,so if you have never been get your self down there at the next one  you won't regret it .Any of the guys on here will tell you a bout the Nat's and if you got a tent or caravan you can stay for the week end .  regards TD

 Hi FB3! yes it is a Lanzo Record Breaker , I put a Merco 61 up front i thought it was in keeping with the vintage image , it runs nice , been rebuilt .

 Hi Trusty, you will need some epoxy glue ,and a good modeling knife, and a strait edge  or square to line your fin up you can do it by eye but that's not really a good way ,also some  micro screw drivers . I think that's it . the other model is a vintage style BEN BUCKLE kit I've only flown it once  just to iron out any hiccuops, i'n saving it for the summer at's called a record breaker because the original model broke some height records or at least that's what I've been told .  TD

 It's been pretty bleak here in lincolnshire, rain ,rain and more high winds it; been a nightmare.i think i've been flying twice in the last3 months , not good .TD

  while the forum and indeed the site it self is great a wealth of information , the guys are great , but some times for some unknown reason you suddenly find you can't log on know matter what you do i must have been told a hundred times a pass ward has been email bit it never arrives .every thing is OK at the moment but i dread  having to go through all that again .

  Some really useful ideas here,the brass tube hole piercer would be a great asset.

 I did the colour scheme deliberately , manly to get away from the norm and be a bit different i think it worked ,glad you like it  cheers TD

  Well done sir ,may you have many ,many happy flying days .  TD

 At last i've managed to get a couple of pics for you.My RECORD BREAKER .

  Biggles Elder Brother, yes well um ! I suppose i did  deserve that one . when i do any thing to any of my   models weather permitting i always place them on the kids tramp ,it's just the right height to work from , mind you i'm always getting wrong for doing it .all the best TDEdited By taildragger on 04/11/2010 17:02:49
