I'm after some litho plate too, just a small a4 sized sheet will do. There used to be some on ebay but can't seem to find it now? Edited By The Stig on 27/08/2013 14:26:38 Edited By The Stig on 27/08/2013 14:27:19

Thanks for the input chaps. Much appreciated. I think Andrew hit the nail on the head for me. But I won't make a hasty decision and I'll see what's on offer first. Regards TheStig

Apologies, I was using an AR6200 reciever in the acro wot, this was purchased from tjd models. I have an ar500 in my aircobra, and my other yt warbirds have AR8000's in. I used to have a dx6i, and I had no problems at all, which is actually one of the reasons I stayed with spektrum and upgraded to the dx8 (about a year or so ago), there's only one other guy that uses spektrum down at the field and he has a dx6i, and has no reported problems either. I keep going over what happened in my head, but it all happened so quick, but for the plane to do what it did, i woukdve had to have whacked the throttle fully open and banked hard right, and like i said i was on the final approach into the wind, so i was pretty much flying hands free, letting it decend on its own, apart from a few minor adjustments. In a way I'm happy it was the acro wot that went in and not one of my larger yt warbirds that crashed! But at the same time it's frustrating not knowing why.

Well i lost my acro wot yesterday, only about 15 flights old Was on the final approach and all of a sudden, it got a mind of its own and went to full throttle, banked fully to the right and went straight in, all in the blink of an eye so i had no time to do anything. After a 20 minute search through the corn field i found it in lots of pieces, it was still bound and everything still working as it should so no idea what went on? Upon discussion with a few club mates they have advised me to try and steer clear of Spektrum as they said the suffer with 'dead spots' and are prone to losing their bind. Now i havent had the latter happen to me, but the dead spot would make sense to me as to why the acro wot went in, i recall having a couple of instances over the past 15 flights where ive felt like ive had no control for a split second or so. and its also happened to a couple of my other models too. So ive been recommended the Hitec Aurora 9 and im severely tempted. I was about to put it on ebay but i thought i would see what you guys think?

Posted by Rafael Scabora on 17/07/2013 10:46:11: You can try an extension for the exhaust, I first fitted my AcroWot with a .46 engine that needed it... Then switched to the 4-stroke that fitted well.. Du-Bro sells extensions, but you might have to import from the US, try ebay. Ah yes, just been onto just engines and they do an extension, just waiting to hear back on the size and will be placing an order. Thanks

Thanks for the advice on the bolts, will be hoping to maiden mine at the weekend. A question for the guys who have put in bigger engines - i have an asp 61 2 stroke up front, a , my exhaust seems to not want to go in the already cut crevice, will I need to cut the piece of wood on the fuselage off, so the exhaust can fit?

Hmm, how would one go about attaching them onto the rod?

Thanks for your help guys, picked some up and I'm going to glue them onto some carbon rod. I'm guessing just 5 min epoxy would be ok to use?

Sorry, edited.

need to know what the brass thingy is called as one has broke (not in flight thank goodness!) and need to replace it. Thanks. Edited By The Stig on 02/10/2012 13:48:07

Hi Geoff, how does it fly with the sc46? Is it adequately powered?

Immense work George

Watching this with great interest. hoping you see it through to the end!

Hi guys, thinking of getting this one in the collection as everyone seems to rate it, just wondering if an an sc46 2 stroke would be ok, or would it be recommended to fit a 70fs?
