  1. Some years ago now when using a Futaba 50th Edtion Tx on 35 megs I had a similar problem planes would fly as controlled and then go into auto pilot and kill them selves again on Elevator and Airleons. I put it down to well used Sticks and retired the TX for spares
  2. It's not a Maricardo that's a mid winger with cabin on wing Edited By RC Plane Flyer on 16/05/2016 20:33:10
  3. Flying a nice little Pinto that I had set up with airleon differential I decided it was not fast enough in a roll !! Back to pits to reset the TX to inhibit airleon bit. Reconnect battery pick up model and launch Just went SPLAT. Picking up the bits with reciever hanging out I saw my cause
  4. Just perusing my links and find Airtek web page is live again
  5. I saw this my self yesterday so went to another trader i used regularly and find this is undergoing re vamp that`s BRC Hobbies Gateshead
  6. Thank you all for your opinions. I only asked the question as my LMS is out of stock and I can get the Optifuel with a 40 mile round trip
  7. I am in need of some more two stroke fuel for my Irvine 46 and OS 46 engines and was wondering if anybody has used 5% Optifuel ( Two Stroke ) instead of Model Technic Formula Irvine 5% any noticeable difference in power or gunge from the exhaust ??
  8. Looks like i need to get to Specsavers I read the original post as an elevator hinge problem. !!!
  9. Hi Simon. Have you thought of using Surgical Cross Weave tape across the joint on one side maybe the top side
  10. Quilters use the small iron to fold flat the hem joints between the odd shaped pieces etc. A similar iron is available on the Create And Craft web pages. My 2p worth
  11. I fly an ARTF mark 2 on an OS 46 and it is a pleasure and relaxing model to fly. I watch a very experience flyer do all the stunts with an Irvine 53 up front. So go with the 53 and throttle back that has been suggested
  12. I have used a D size ( 4000 mamp ) rechargeable NIMH cell for ? years with confidence. I also have my own design connection in that I have an old type stereo socket on a small plate bolted onto the undercarriage and hard wired cables one to the plug with a collet ( suitable for plug ) and the other to the exhaust fixing screw. I then have the male stereo plug on the end of a short cable from the battery box which has an ammeter in line to show plug in use. When charging the needle does go backwards when charging with no problem.
  13. Google Search for Vortex Vacforms should do it
  14. Hi Simon. have you heard of the Sherburn Model Club ? There are vacancies for this year and a friendly bunch of guys. Usual thing three flights if needed before joining. PM me and I can offer more info
  15. Hello Simon which side of Leeds are you ? various clubs around north,south,east.
  16. I wonder why our classified section is not as productive ??
  17. My Hard Drive Is Full This made me feel better so I am sharing It with you Forum Members Brains of older people are slow because they know so much. People do not decline Mentally with age it just takes them longer to recall facts because they have more information in their brain, scientist believe. Much like a Computer struggles as the Hard Drive gets full so, too, do humans it takes longer to access information when the brain are full Researches say this slowing down process is not the same as Cognitive Decline. The human brain works slower in old age, said Dr. Michael Ramscar, but only because we have stored more information over time. The brains of older people do not get weak. On the Contrary they simply know more. Also older people often go to get something and when they get there they stand wandering what they came for ? it is not a memory problem it is natures way of making older people do more exercise SO THERE Now when I reach for a word or a name or construct an aircraft kit I won`t excuse myself by saying " I am having a Senior Moment " Now I can say " My disc is getting full "
  18. Have you thought about a Gas soldering system Maplin's do a nice one two options Maplin's or Iroda
  19. Just out of interest searched the web and found a model distributor advising to add some carbon strip into the wings
  20. When I have a difficult wing to Fuselage covering I use a 2" wide strip to work around the Wing to Fuselage area then covering the rest of the wing with a large section. With regards to your bonding long time set epoxy is the better option.
  21. Hello Barrie Dav2 I upgraded to Win 10 in late October but had to revert back 3 days later. E mail screwed up and then Win 8.1 not as it was. Kept reading various blurbs on Win 10 and found an interesting article about one fix that had not worked and was being removed. I took the plunge 10 days ago and went for a second upgrade. Screwed up my Broadband allowance but it was worth it . All is working fine, interested in how to turn of Cortana if any help available
  22. I am interested in the comment at Point Number 3 Shortened fuel pipe between rear needle and Carb ?? Photo would be nice ​
  23. I would also suggest after tweaking as suggested above can you do a full throttle nose up on the ground test ??
