Hi Guys,   I also went to RIAT, it was great......   Can't fault the british weather... soaked to the skin in the morning..... and sunburnt in the afternoon!!!!!   P51 and spitfire were brill, but not as good as the mighty Vulcan!!!!!   Regards trusty...

Yo Paul, welcome,   Trusty

Hi Supermarine,   Its a bit slow... wind, rain, work, and garden walls!!!!!! ...... I take it your not getting much in??   Roll on the sun!!!   Trusty

Yo Hawk!!!!   Bonjour, fellow newbie!!!   Regards trusty...

Hi Stassiebal,   I,ve just read your post, yes I will take some photo's for you and place them on... that's what people on the forum did for me and that really helped... i was able to look at their photo's and read the instructions....   The star seems to be a popular choice, i've seen 3 at my club aswell as two boomerangs which is a similar A/C...   The wing servo does go on quite easily, I had to buy a hand file from B&Q it cost about £4, and I filed the edge of the box down a little as it was just too small on the trial fit!!, dont forget when fitting the piece of flat square wood to trace around it and remove the covering with a knife!!!....   What epoxy are you going to use? I used B&Q epoxy, it seems to be really good and is quite well priced, there's a 30 minute and a 6 minute repositional epoxy..... as recomended by BEB!!!   Good luck let me know how your getting on!!! Trusty..  

Yo!!

Yo FB3...   I will message you....   Trusty..

Yo! Night crawler...   I'm good thanks, yep the weathers terrible, I found the talke pitts model shop web site... looks great i'm gonna take a trip oot!!!   Good luck with the field visit, let me know how it goes...   yep cars nightmare... cam belt last month.... new clutch yesterday.... oh and service and mot next week...skint!!... so no wembley for me!   What sim are you using???   Trusty....

Hi Nightcrawler, Talke pits, sounds good I will go along for a look!.... Sounds like you got your aircraft fixed, great, good luck with the flight!!!...   My field visit was good thanks, but the field is now being ploughed up and re seeded, so flying is off for 3 weeks!! best I buy a sim!!!   Let me know how the flight goes...   Regards Trusty.

Hi Nightcrawler, Hows things, the field doesn't have a postcode it's a farmers field, but the club has a website, mid cheshire mfc have a look, I think you can contact the sec on there too.....   Yeah I went to model maniacs in castle, seemed a bit empty, but as you say the bloke seemed really helpfull, not a great selection of fuel though???, I don't know of any other model shops in sot do you?   So what state is your aircraft in now? will she fly??   regards trusty...

hi Night crawler,   Welcome from me...... read about the crash nitemare!!!!, i'm also new to the hobby, and also from stoke on trent!!! what model shop did you use???? and wheres your local club, as I've just joined one last week, mid cheshire mfc, nr sandbach...... they have been ace!!!!!   i'm about to fly an arising star trainer, the xmas pressie from the wife!!! i've got a field visit tomorrow hopefully the weather is good..... the batteries are charged!!!!   happy flying!   Trusty

BEB,   Thanks the post, I will keep you updated with the progress!!   My insurance and bmfa handbook landed today, more bedtime reading!!!!!   Trusty...

Yo Supermarine!,   Sounds like your off to a great start, the weather is ace at the mo, are you flying at the weekend?   I didin't use the star on the first visit, as she needed a bit of tweaking and tightening, however she's been given the all clear now and is ready!!!!   Hopefully I will be down the field on sunday...........great......... Better ask the wife first!!!!!!   Happy flying!!   trusty...

BEB / supermarine,   Thanks for the reply, field visit was ace! met my instructor Dave, he's fine tuned my a/c, thanks dave!....... And I was given a flight on a boomerang!! great, and I didn't crash!!!   A big thanks to the mid cheshire mfc..... my new club!   How are the landings going supermarine, hopefully it wasn't too windy!!!   Trusty...  

Hi supermarine,   Thanks for the advice, .........I think it's finished!!!.......   First field visit tomorrow!!! get in!!!!!!!   Regards Trusty......

Bonjour Supermarine,.....   Thanks for the message, I was toying with the idea of where to put the receiver etc, I will use the space under the servo tray aswell. I've got an sc 46 up front,.... what about you??   Yes I think i'm close to a flight, I should hear next week if I've got a space with the mid cheshire mfc, fingers crossed!!! Are you using a flight sim in between flights??......   Oh before i forget, where have you put your switch???.......   Hey it sounds like your flying is going well! have you done it before???? how's the landing gear holding up!!!!???!! i just hope my a/c fly's!!!   Regards Trusty....

Bonjour Gents!!   Double sided "no more nails tape" purchased.....Now where to stick it!!!

Guys,   Many thanks as always, I will let you know how it goes.....   Regards trusty...

Hi steve 1,   Hey that's a great idea, again something I hadn't thought of..... do you put sponge around yours?   regards Trusty....

Yo FB3!   Thanks, I will stick it to the base with this tape, and put sponge around..... How do you recommend securing the battery, i've got the 4 battery cube thing, like 4 AA batterys stuck together should I use the tape!......   Yes thanks the knee op went well, I'm back walking etc now.. and back to work.... and the wife's complaining that the dining room table is a work bench!!! oh well...   Bonjour..

FB3 / BEB, Thanks for the reply..... FB3 im also steam driven 35 mhz !!!!! my radio came with a starter deal from galaxy models...... I like the sound of this "no more nails tape", i'm hitting B&Q in the morning......   Do you recommend sticking it to the base of the fuse??   Regards trusty....
