    John   You are correct it was super 8 film which can nowadays be converted onto a DVD. I think it had a Veco 61 in it.   I remember after building the fuselage from dowel I re-inforced the joints with steel pins.   The noseover on the movie after landing was edited out.   It nearly always nosed over on grass but it was OK on tarmac

    I built this way back in the 70's and used dowel for the fuselage and Ali tube, as per plan.   The model flew well, I passed it on to a clubmate and it can still fly these days.   The only problem was it's tendency to noseover on landing   A wee video of it's maiden flight - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_Iep9-HwSs

    I had a 363 in 1969 and it flew well but was destroyed in a mid-air

    Is this the ugliest biplane?   Electric powered and flew last week

    That was my Sopwith Dove on the previous page when we attended the Angus club's excellent event in August. Here is a wee vid of its maiden flight       Edited By Lew Weaver on 19/11/2010 22:16:46

    You are correct John - I meant Ray Hannah

    Was the pilot not Dave Hannah?

    OK - here is the model that the sound module is fitted in - it has a fairly low wing loading so should be able to take the extra weight.     And here are the loudspeakers temporarily fitted facing out from either side of the front cockpit.

    I have just installed the Model Solutions module and am looking for advice on the best way to mount the 2x4ohm loudspeakers.   At the moment I have them fitted in the front cockpit (of a Bucker Student) and  was wondering if they should have some sort of cover over the back of them to maximise the sound volume?

    Timbo   Sorry to read of the Camel crash it was flying really well.   The scenario is very similar to the crashes my son and I had in 2008 to which you contributed in the "Gutted" thread.  http://www.modelflying.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=13639&p=1   We never found the causes and I have since converted to the Jeti Duplex system which should give me a warning before the model goes in    
  18. Lew Weaver
    I am surprised that the reading was 0 with no warning or loss of control. Was it 0 on both aerials?
  19. Lew Weaver
    I have recently monitored the Rx signal which seems to read 3's & 4's at normal flying distances.   Peevie (posting above) tells us that it's a logarithmic scale.   No problems with the Jeti system so far, and I have nothing but enthusiasm for the Duplex system; the info displayed being a big help for leccy flyers.

    Phil The whip aerial is just scale detail, seen here on the full-size

    Ben, the power available wil allow most aerobatic manoeuvers to be performed with ease, e.g. loops, stall turns, immelmans etc

    I have the Airsail Chipmunk with flaps flying on electric. Axi 4120/14, 5S Lipo, 12x8 prop. Loads of power

    Adam As far as I remember that was the only tricky bit in the build. The model is up in the attic at the moment and it's freezing up there. I will try and take some pictures of the cabane wires maybe tomorrow. In the meantime here is the ony picture of that area I have just now. Please give the wire bending a go, as the model is well worth building and flies a treat.

    Two servos for the ailerons is the way to go. If you want to save a bit weight then dont bother with servo covers and screws, just bury them under the sheeting - servos are reliable these days.

    I can vouch for the DB Albatros - nice kit and a great flier (electric of course )
