Yes the grease left on halogen bulbs in particular will limit the bulbs life. Its funny most Halo lamps for security lights come with little peice of foam which you handle them by, but not these little ones. It may also be that the pins of the lamp are not making a good connection in the little socket holes of the holder, this is a recurring problem with my living room light which has similar lamps in it, and it gets worse over time. Try, if you feel comfortable doing so, giving the lamp a tweek whilst on and see if it lights up. If so you might find that your lamps are not actually blowing.

Ok. Ive got rid of that twist. It was easier than I thought. Just weighed wing down on flat surface and with iron on low heat ironed out wrinkles made by the twist being straightend. It still wasnt quite right so I did it again proping up wing tip at trailing edge with a small wooden block, hey presto straight wing! Cheers guys.Edited By Simon Williams 2 on 17/07/2011 08:39:41

And I am using FMS a lot tho I cant seem to find a model to match my own.

I know guys.   There are a couple of clubs in the county but I dont think I can commit myself to attending with any regularity, which wouldnt be fair on anyone who put themselves out to tutor me, or justify the membership cost for me. The club is half hour away whereas this field is 2 min. away. Someone in the know to come and give me some pointers would be great but I dont know anyone else into it ( unless of corse someone from Hereford is reading this and has the spare time and patients to help me get started ), the fella who used to help me fly my glider I havent seen for years, and I dont live in the village any more.

Hi all. Found a field owned by a nice chap who didnt mind me flying from it. Excellent! Went on down there last saturday to have my 1st serious attempt at flying my trainer. I set it all up, checked the controlls and in a Jeremy Clarkson type way shouted Power!!! and expected my model to shoot gazelle like accross the grass and leap into the air..... It didnt. The grass was too long and so all it did was scythe a neat curve into the ground. Not to be put off I picked it up and hand launched it at full throttle, and with a gentle push away it flew out straight (excitement!), and began to climb (dellirium!), then went vertical (panic!). Not knowing what to do I let down the throttle and it came out of its climb and with some up elevator was flying level but not very high. But instead of trying to get some hight I started worrying that it was now turning (wether because of wind, the models trim, or my shaking I dont know!). So I thought perhaps I better let It come down and try again but in letting more power off in order to loose height (I didnt worry about putting her down anywhere specific so long as she touched down safe) and trying to turn her into wind I must have caused a stall as she dove into the floor and bounced on her nose onto her back. The plane was relatively Undamaged as the Alu. motor mount absorbed most of the impact and after some quick work with the pliers and I was ready to go again! But the heavans opened and rain stopped play. Not a huge success but it did fly and Ive learnt a few things: 1. Mow the grass. 2. Check COG as I think it was tail heavy. 3. Get some height then look to see what its doing. 4. Bring a coat!!!     Still, Cant wait for another attempt!

And theres the Banana.

There she is... No laughing please!

Yellow and black Ben??
