Yes as I put in my original post I am aware there are a few to choose from , I was looking for a recommendation from someone who has actually read about the subject?

No they certainly aren't cheap , so annoying when something like this happens I hope they replace it for you.

His club mates John Travolta "Staying alive" dance rendition seemed a little miss timed & heartless.

I agree it's all down to personal preference & the value of any expo dependent on the particular style of airframe. A tip for those new to the function is to set the transmitter on dual rates but rather than have the control surfaces moving at greater travel leave them equal and have two differing expo rates. Say 0 / 25% , this will then give a good inflight demonstration into how the function alters the flight characteristics of the model in an instance rather than reprogramming after a flight.

Futaba & Spectrum are opposite. I think they are not opposite. I am Spektrum now, used to be Futaba, and don't remember a chance when I swapped. Don't know about other brands. Yes they are.

There were quite a few very nearly new up for sale online after the initial launch , it must of been a bit of a disappointing flyer for many.

Posted by Denis Watkins on 15/01/2016 10:04:51: I would put a decent 52 OS Surpass on your model, making it most reliable and making the model flyable in skilled manner. A 70 fourstroke is about right in the acro wot Denis and is the power plant used when the magazine did a review a few years ago. It's not a light airframe and needs lead in the nose with a 70 so suggesting a 52 seems odd ? If I did another I too would use a 91 fourstroke.

I only went to the shop to buy some fuel (honestly!) but came home with one of these as it was at a price I just could not resist.

I think there ok for convenience BUT not an answer to a poorly running engine. I've got one in a P47 Thunderbolt but plan to remove it soon. The tuning of the engine is different to the settings on a motor started with a conventional glow starter, so all is ok until your onboard battery gets low and then you have a mistuned engine that's going to struggle to run anyway so I end up unconfident in the glow set up. It's like a bit of a vicious circle and after trials personally  I trust the well tuned motor rather than risking unknown battery capacity so it's a no from me.  Edited By Justin K. on 05/11/2016 18:36:08 Edited By Justin K. on 05/11/2016 18:37:26

I spotted this during a short family break in the west county, **LINK**

Posted by ted hughes on 05/11/2016 14:21:56: Oh yeah, I heard about that. I thought this was something new! No Ted not new this time , but I doubt it will be long sadly.

This is from April on the link , & I believe it turned out to be a plastic bag.

No problem Craig , there are quite a few bits on YouTube so you may find one with eflites on there. Some say the Seagull version flys better so it may not be all bad. I like the Hangar 9 Razorback too and kick myself not getting one when Sussex models had them on a special.

Craig , this guy on YouTube has fitted FMS aftermarket retracts into his so it looks possible? A google search on the dimensions of both those and yours would confirm. https://youtu.be/BSuGsDCF-qk

Posted by Phil 9 on 05/11/2016 12:48:23: I have noted a few discontinued H9 products remerging as seagull Maybe someone can confirm my suspicion that the are the same models rebadged? No it's definitely not , totally different build configuration & a little smaller too. I've not seen any Hangar 9 products re badged as Seagull? What are you referring to Phil ?

You will have to get a straw Bob. I think the blue & white really sets it off. Looking forward to seeing it but knowing deep down the Bob will be taking his time lol 😂.

Posted by trebor on 04/11/2016 18:27:46: I know yours is in a different plane but what sort of flight time do you get ? Plenty once they are run in mate , the one I have in the Hellcat isn't greedy on fuel and that hammers around at 3/4 throttle most of the time.

Nice Bob , Saito 115 would be ideal in there 😉

Great choice Pete  Edited By Justin K. on 31/10/2016 11:30:13

I have my pumped OS 120 mounted inverted & its a very neat set up. ASP / SC are just Chinese clones of the older OS 120, some swear by them , others at them. In my experience the general poor finish can lead to air leak problems. You pay your money & make your choice. Andover Models will do you a Saito 125 for around £240 , Fantastic performers I have one in a hangar 9 Sbach , would probably have to go in side mounted due to the tank position but they are very easy on the eye too.

It's not flow yet Pete but the quality is good & the wing system makes setting it up a doddle.

A 91 size fourstroke glow engine will struggle with both of the models mentioned, I have an OS120 fs in my Hangar 9 C Eagle. This is a great combination as recommended in the RCM&E review. If you want a fourstroke Pete then glow is the way to go, twostroke petrol being the alternative  Edited By Justin K. on 31/10/2016 10:01:46

      Posted by cymaz on 22/10/2016 13:09:43: Bought this last year from Salisbury. Been working on it off and on since then. Its had new servos, battery redundancy, new linkages, modified exhaust, new tail wheel , new nav light system,dual aileron servos and all new linkages. Just the wings to get sprayed up and check the CG.... The hole in the side of the fuselage was intentional as I needed access to get the closed loop and nav light wires in. It has a litho hatch that will be screwed in and painted white. Edited By cymaz on 22/10/2016 13:11:42   Thats very nice indeed. Edited By Justin K. on 27/10/2016 07:30:40
