Hmm, so if I cover mine in Solarfilm, will I still be able to join the S.A.D.F.A.R.T. ?? Tony

Blimey, with that picture, you really get to see the actual size of the thing, may have to re-think the size of my workbench, should not be long now before I start my build, all the bits and bobs have arrived, just got to finish the tileing in the bathroom and can then concentrate on the build. Tony

Hi, I have never had any problem with Paypal, mine is linked to a card, but I think you can add funds to an account as you suggested. Tony

I would be interested Ian. Tony

The end was so funny, the wife asked what I was laughing at, when I explained, she said I was just nasty.

Looking good Andy, hope to be able to start mine soon. Tony

Why have we now got the double spacing on the paragraphs ? It looks messy. Tony

Hi guy's, just read this thread and thought I would try mine, and mine works fine. Dx7 Phoenix ver 3.0s just went and changed my chosen model to the spitfire, then went into the system menu, selected "your controls" then "edit profile" and asigned my switches for flaps and gear hit save and away I went. Tony

As I am about ready to start a "trad build" an article on what you need i.e. type of building board, fuse jig, tools and glues would be good, and as previously mentioned the differing types of glue and where and how to use them would be very good. There are some excellent builders who we all follow avidly on the forum and in the mag, maybe you could persuade one or two to write up an article for us new to the building game to show us how it should be done properly. Tony

Coming together very nicely Andy. Tony

Hi Andy, I like that wing plate idea of yours, I will copy that when I finaly get to start my build, just got to work out how to access the beast of a battery I have for mine.   Tony

Looking good Chris, as you made a three piece wing, can I ask how you have secured the outer panels to the center piece.   Tony

Alex, that is the age old question, how tight is too tight??? It needs to be tight enough that there is no fluttering of the rudder in flight, and not bar tight so as to put a side loading on the servo output shaft. To get round this problem, some people use an "idler wheel" and then connect the servo to that, and others do not bother. If you can get your trace wire so there is no slack, but not that tight so you can pluck it like a guitar string then you should be ok.   TonyEdited By Anthony Billings on 01/02/2012 21:26:07

Hi Rusty, what Tx are you using, and have you selected your Tx in the menu on Phoenix?   Tony

Woodworking, mainly children's toy's, but some furniture as well.   Tony

Well done Terry, wonderful flying pics, the tiggie looks a great plane, I wish my flying skills were up to flying one of those. Tony

Just to say thanks for my subscription gift, subscribed on Friday, and gift (digital sealing iron) arrived Tuesday, well chuffed, plus the two back issues that I missed due to working abroad. Now I should not miss any more issues.   Cheers Tony

Hi, if the Syma 107G is a co-ax, then the MSR or it's big brother the Blade 120 is a good choice, both can come as RTF and I know for certain as I have one that I love to fly indoors that the MSR is virtually fly it out of the box. My son is just getting to grips with a Nano SR a copy of the MSR then when he is ready he will move up to the Blade 120. Heli flying the same as planes is very addictive, I know I have six, fortunately I have a very understanding wife.   Tony

NO! NO! NO! it is the same as the Syma 001 and it is CARP(excuse the spelling mistake) I had one when learning to fly heli's and it was the biggest waste of money going. If you want to buy him a descent indoor heli then the MSR, Atom or Nano SR are good choices, stay away from the T Rex 100.   Tony

Hi Andy, just read that post, I hope you are well on the mend mate, good luck and don't rush it, I was a year off work with my bypass and was going stir crazy, but it was the right thing to do, back at work and fighting fit as they say.   Tony

Had to run in compatability mode for some reason, the only thing I have changed recently is my anti-virus, strange as it let me post in other forums without changing to compatability mode???? Ah well, at least it is working again.   Tony

Hi Steve, that is brill, and so simple, I am going to pinch that idea for my S60.   Tony

Hi Andy, any progress, looking to see how you are going to bolt the wing as that is the way I want to go.   Tony

Just trying a test post

Looking good Chris.
