Jon, Frank, thanks for your feedback. Phil

Not flown it yet Jon, just concerned as with a 17” prop I have about 3/4” clearance. Phil

Could I run a 15 x 10 three blade prop on a 200V? Struggling for ground clearance on a Topflite Cessna 182. TIA Phil

I have OS 95 in mine and a 5 cell pack under the tank. They do vary in weight distribution.

Good service from Ripmax
Phil Francis posted a topic in R/C Retailers / Distributors / Manufacturers
Bought a Futaba 14sg in 2013 + extra 7008rx. Went to use the RX about 6 weeks ago it would bind but would not operate any servos. Sent it back to Ripmax explaining the situation expecting them to repair and ask for a payment for return. Phoned them a couple of weeks later to find out what was happening and they told me there was a new one on the way to me. Well chuffed. -

Phil Francis replied to Ron Gray's topic in Incident Reports
I have had a fare few Seagull Models and not had a problem like this. Though I have seen more than one of there spinners disintegrate. I do tend to go around any glue joint that I can reach. May be a Friday afternoon one! Just for info I bought a Hangar 9 Carbon Cub that came in it’s shipping box inside packing box was a label that said Manufactured by yep you guessed Seagull Models.

Don't use New power Servo's unless you want a world of hurt. Tried a couple a while ago they don't centre well, 1/4" either side of centre. Phil -
Stunning, I hope mine turns out half as good as that.

Phil Francis replied to Den Moran's topic in Building from Traditional Kits and Plans
Do a search for metal supermarket, there may be one near you. They will cut any size you need. -
Futaba wouldn't make £17 every time if they done that!
