I know all I have done is dropped by with some inane nonsense on this thread and nothing to do with the model in question, I can attest to the quality of Richards designs and kits, they are well thought out and the kits excellently produced, the P51 is one of my personal favourites and if I were doing one it would either be the A 36 Apache based on the P 51B or the Kermit Weeks P 51B in Tuskegee colours in Fantasy of flight Polk City Florida, I was lucky enough to be shown around it and in it many moons ago and the Tuskegee airman have been a point of interest for years. Alas I would love to join you in this project especially having just read through the whole thread ( I had missed quite a bit) but the last good while has seen problems with my mobility, ageing parents and their failing health and a milliard of other things to conspire against me but I do have plenty of projects to be getting on with, the La7, 109 and 110 to name but a few, the 109 is up first. So I will be looking in to see your progress with a bit of a lump, Missus has an excellent right hook, and see how you are getting on, enjoy this excellent of kits. I will know you will inspire me to get my finger out! 😂

That is unusually optimistic for you Andy !! I hold no hope of them ironing out flaws. Regards Barrie 👍🏻🙄😂 -
Matt Keep an eye on eBay as HP’s do come up there fairly regularly, I have a few, mainly Silver Stars as they come up more often, mostly 40’s in my case although I do have one SS 61 I do have one of each of the 20, 40, 120 and 2 off 61 Gold Cups, when rebuilding some of the eBay finds I got the parts from Mecoa who were excellent to deal with, since the lock down however the postal service they are able to use is a tad expensive, normally around the $12-15 last order was around $25 but this was due to covid and the service available but I was ordering quite a few parts for various engines which made it viable for me.

DB Sport and Scale Skyrider
Nigel Dell replied to Dai Fledermaus's topic in Building from Traditional Kits and Plans
Hi David I had one back in the day and was a really good design, one you enjoy flying, I had a HGK 40 in it and that was spot on power wise. I have electrified a few sport models that were originally powered by an OS 40 FSR that is of similar power to the HGK and found the EMAX BL 2826/06 motor with a 60 amp speed controller and 4S (I use 4000mah) because of the short U/C I used 11x9 Aeronaut electric prop (the original model was designed around using 10x7. This a slightly better performance the the OS, in fact two of the same design one mine the other powered by an Irvine 46 were very evenly matched, I am going to build another Skyrider soon and will be using the EMAX BL 2832/05 which is slight more powerful and I have one in stock. These motors seem to be harder to get these days but George at 4 Max has Emax equivalents Here Edited By Nigel Dell on 05/10/2020 17:41:12 -
Posted by Glenn Stevenson on 03/10/2020 12:26:34: Just wondered if there is an extension for the 180 exhaust, its threaded inside and was thinking of maybe a length of threaded 14mm tube perhaps? Glenn I am sure there is Glenn, I bought one with my 180 as an accessory when I got it.

Shuttleworth have done a lot of work in making these gatherings work in these trying times, we have attended two full-size displays there and the whole thing works well, these are not times you can just turn up I am afraid, use the procedures they have put in place, they work well. Sadly I am unable to make this weekend.

I am only 13 miles from Maidenhead so if you need help it is close enough for me to pop over or I can give you my number if you prefer as we don’t know what is coming again regarding COVID. I have been doing this for more years than I care to remember and no question is daft only the one that is not asked! You will enjoy the builds I am sure.

Jonathan where about are you? I am in Bagshot so was thinking if your LHS is who I think it is we are fairly local if you need any help. cheers Nige.

Hi Eric I had happen to one of mine it turned out to be a faulty lead, it had a break, if you have another lead you could try it might be worth doing that if just to rule it out. Cheers Nige. Edited By Nigel Dell on 30/07/2020 11:26:27

Tomboy Hi Martin Something like the Vic Smeed Tomboy would be good with that engine and lightweight gear, I have a free flight one. They were used in a duration competition so you may find later issued plans with the rc mods done but it is not hard to do. Or have a look at other Vic Smeed designs there are some crackers out there, one of my favourites is the Miss 38. Cheers Nige.
