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.

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

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

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.

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.

[Service in Slough]

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!

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.

[8FG is soooo complicated]

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?

Hi BEB

 

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

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).

Hi Romeo Whisky

 

Google "Street view" shows a Hair/Nail salon @ 22 West Street. Not sure when image was taken though.

 

Any "locals" able to confirm?

 

regards
