Outrunner

Nothing to lose by trying it out. As long as you have separate aileron channels and not a Y lead it's very simple to setup.

A wattmeter is your friend here, you can run your setup monitoring the wattmeter and if necessary shutdown before the smoke comes out.

Hi David Your Junior 60 is coming on nicely , hopefully it will be flying soon. When using Doculam (laminating film) I continue over the sheeted area when covering as the wood won't be soaking up water based varnish that I apply over the tissue. My J60 has a tiny rudder and it takes an age to turn, I really should enlarge the rudder but I do find it fun to fly as it is. I use an old McGregor Digimac lll transmitter converted to 2.4gHz using a Phil Green encoder. It also has a single channel mode so I sometimes fly it as a single channel bang bang but if I get into a pickle (most flights!) I can go back to stick mode. Enjoy

I use a 12V car headlamp bulb

It looks like the whole of the BMFA members area website has gone AWOL, it takes me to one of those pages you get when a domain name is available for sale. Very strange.

Rich, I can still see a couple of replies from David Ashby. The Perkins people are probably in hiding 😂

Have you tried going back to the version of open tx that worked?

Does open tx support Jumper radios? I thought you would need edge tx

We lost our previous flying field due to stupidity noisy two stroke petrol engines.

My son had the same issue with his DX9, the right stick dropped into the transmitter as I launched his new EDF model. I had problems with my Dx6i rollers and trims breaking. At great expense my son replaced the gimbal not wanting to bodge a repair on a vital component. Neither of us are Spektrum users now. Oh, and not surprisingly the EDF model crashed.

I can vouch for the little Toolkit charger, I use one as my main charger as it's so simple to use and works really well. The ir and voltages are displayed on two screens during charge. It's got lots of other functions too and its not expensive and well made.

Don't make the two sides identical, you need a left and a right side! Nice kit.

I use Deluxe Materials RC Modellers glue, I've had my tube of it for donkeys years as I only glue canopies with it and nothing else. Slow to dry but nice and clear when dry. Never lost a canopy. It doesn't smell like PVA, I think it's different stuff.

A no brainer as they say, join the BMFA, why waste your money elsewhere

A few years ago I visited the Coventry aircraft museum with my son's and arranged by my late father in law. As my fil was a friend of one of the museum folk we were allowed to crawl all over the exhibits. The F104 Starfighter originally had a downward firing bang seat😱 You could see where the floor had a patch over it after modifying to a more conventional upward firing seat. Sorry nothing to do with propnuts!

Nice one Chris, it looks a super model and great to see a video that's not "find the speck in the sky"!

Hi David, my Junior 60 originally had an OS28 Surpass, it now has an even quieter electric motor, your OS15 will more than enough power. Enjoy your latest J60 whatever you power it with.

Hi Alison. Nice looking kit there. You might want to check but looks like there's also a set of servos an engine, fuel tank and a prop too. It looks a lot more than just a kit. I hope you sell it soon.

Well Pablo56 in your rants about the BMFA you've now published your name, email, telephone number home address on a public forum, I hope the nasty people in this world are not going to come after you. As others have said if you have issues with the BMFA just call them, they are very helpful and have our interests at heart and go out of their way to help. No need to air your grievances on an open forum.

If your drone has a camera you need an id whatever the weight.

My results were emailed to me after the test together with a link to my certificate. Much to my suprise I passed with 35 out of 40 correct answers. It was so irritating with so many drone orientated questions when I have absolutely no desire to fly a drone. I was pleased to pass though, still life in the old dog!

Trouble is the shower of sparks and steel dust get attracted to the magnets 😮

Sorry if I upset you Matty but I was just being upbeat. It's really good news that you've been flying again and you do look rightly very happy in your photo.

Great news Matty, you look a happy bunny with your model there! Keep on running!

No telemetry involved. You plug a servo into the receiver and adjust the transmitter output until the servo just stops responding in both + and - ranges. Not a good explanation but looks it up on YouTube.
