Hi Mark Do you know what the differences are between the Super and the old version, apart from the software already being updated, and a badge?  Mike

Hi Mark Inwoods are advertising the 8FG as "Super". Mike

Hi All   I've just added a new method of requesting an addtion or update. There are now two forms available, which update spreadsheets, which I can then use to populate the main spreadsheet, and from there the web site.   I would appreciate your comments on the new forms and also any updates that you have.   Happy landings   Mike

I'll take 26, please.

Hi All Many thanks to Gary & Marcus, both sites added.   Happy landings Mike

Count me in please.   Mike

I think I have an unused one for a Tutor Mk1, if it's of any use? Mike

Hi RW Unable to replicate here, I do not want to teach Granny how to suck eggs, but just in case you haven't tried yet, I assume that you have cleared the cache? best wishes  Mike

HI RW I found and corrected a \, but was still not working correctly last night. However today after I cleared the cache etc it works OK for me on IE 8.0.6001.18702, Firefox 3.0.10 & Chrome 10.0.648.204 I do wish that all the browsers could stick to the same standards! I tend to just test on my main browser IE 8 at work, I know it is lazy but if it works in one why not all the others.  happy landings  Mike

Hi Romeo The site is OK, (for me anyway , I am using IE8) but the link on the first page did not work when I tried Firefox. I'll take a look, I know I did have issues with \ or / with some browsers and perhaps when I changed some of the frames I made a typo.  Try a direct link to the map.  Thanks for heads up.  Mike

Hi All Just uploaded the latest addition and changes. Happy landings Mike

Hi All Just added the details to my map site (Forum topic). Happy landings  Mike Edited By Michael Hickman on 13/04/2011 13:14:09 Edited By Michael Hickman on 13/04/2011 13:31:19 Edited By Michael Hickman on 13/04/2011 13:34:12

I too was disappointed with the customer service at Slough. I emailed a request for details on the Futaba 8FG, no reply after two weeks. The TX only was on a good deal at the time, not so good now, but at least I will be spending my hard earned pennies with a business that I know will respond if I need them! Mike

Hi All I have updated all data to reflect the fact that Al's @ Finchley has closed. thank you to "Prop" for the info.  Mike

Hi Prop Many thanks, I was looking to pop over, but pleased I didn't, complete waste of a lunch break . I'll also up date the retail Map on my web site.  happy landings Mike Edited By Michael Hickman on 10/03/2011 12:30:03

Hi Chris, I have heard your suggestion of not publishing straight text for e mail address before, but not seen a solution. The script looks a good way around it. Mike

Just a quick thought, apologies if it is stupid, but should British owners be using the American site, or should they wait until Ripmax update their site? Mike

Hi BEB Basically yes, but a litlle more complex. Full instructions in PDF format from here.  Mike

Hi Anyone know if Finchley branch has closed? No sign on their web site.   thanks   Mike @import url(http://www.modelflying.co.uk/CuteEditor_Files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);@import url(/CuteEditor_Files/public_forums.css);

Hi Baza   Thanks for the PM, I've scanned the full manual (16 pages, 27Mb) + just page 8 (1.7 Mb), and sent to your e mail. Some of the instructions are not 100% accurate, some modifications have been made that are not in manual, but nothing major. I've built 3, later version (still Mk 1) needed some church roof at the front to get correct CoG, although I used the same engine, Rx & servos (no idea where the weight at the tail came from, the plane looked the same to me).   Happy landings   Mike

Please count me in, if I am lucky any would be appreciated. Mike

Hi Baza I can scan one if you would like, PDF OK? Mike

Hi Romeo Many thanks for the update. Happy landings.  Mike  Web site now updated. Edited By Michael Hickman on 17/02/2011 10:10:54
