[Where do you start with CNC?]

Hi I have just completed my first simple drawing of a motor mount in CamBam but not attempted to assign any machining code. Is there anyone on here that I can send the file to that can cut it for me .Ideally I am aiming for 2 pieces cut from 2mm carbon but would seem sensible to cut from ply first as I really am at the very bottom of the learning curve.

Payment will of course be made.

Any advice appreciated 

[Ever wanted to get into or improve your aerobatics?]

Following on from the very popular BMFA "In the Air Tonight" - An introduction to Aerobatics, the LEICESTER MODEL AERO CLUB are to host an event on Saturday 7th August (subject to Covid regulations) at our site near Market Harborough Leicestershire. Places are limited so please book early. During the day, you will be assigned to an experienced Mentor who will be able to assist with correct model set up and all important model trimming. (some of the mentors have represented the UK at World Championship events) Any model that is capable of a loop and a roll will be suitable but must comply with an 82db maximum noise limit. You will be able to hone your skills throughout the day and for those interested will be able to enter a low key Competition at the end of the day. These events are a great opportunity to take your present flying abilities and develop these onto new levels. Please follow the link below to apply for a place and select CLUBMAN as your entry. NB for this event you DO NOT have to be a member of the Great Britain Radio Control Aerobatic Association (GBRCAA) nor a member of the Leicester Model Aero Club. https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/ejdRolp3f4Txck19 Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to give me a call or drop me a pm.

Just a heads up on this part kit of the Vesna slope soarer which I have underway.

So very impressed with the kit and is starting to look pretty. Great lockdown winter project for the experienced or inexperienced builder. https://uk.video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=mcafee&p=vesna+glider#id=2&vid=959b132ef9e10e5e0a8a174d4269a6a0&action=view

[Mini / Midi servos]

Try Hyperion Atlas series DS11, 12 , 16 all centre very well

[Purchase of flying land]

Put the land in a small company and have the club rent the land from that company thus protecting the asset(s)

Also make the purchase contract subject to planning if you do not currently have planning

[I.c to electric conversion .... advice needed]

Looks like a 6s set up would give you plenty

 

https://www.bondaero.co.uk/Cobra_413016_Brushless_Motor/p1085152_17848852.aspx

or the Tomcat 60/601or HK Turnigy sk3 5045/55

ESC 70-80A 2-6s Although some cheap motors will work I would advise against buying too cheap on ESC's

ZTW, YEP, Overlander all seem good value

16x8 prop but check that you have the ground clearance

[World Models. From Steve Web]

Have had WM Spot On and Zen and both good quality and lasted well

The lighter they are the lighter they can land. The Groovy will fly slowly and is in my experience robust enough.

As with most Artf kits a dose of Cyano on joints well worth it

[Delivery Charges]

As a small but specialist business couriers are one of the most challenging areas that we deal with. It is no surprise that people travel quite long distances to collect airframes from us in particular.

We ship all over the world on occassion and courier costs on the face of it seem Ok but are often variable and quoted without VAT, but the real killer is the option to insure the package. The insurance costs can easily double the courier costs on higer value items. The fact that insurance is high means that the chances of damage and loss are high. Courier business models seem to be on volume and no iterest in quality of service.

I our experience when we have a claim the couriers are very reluctant to pay out as you would expect. We have tried pretty much all of them and find none that we would recommend consistently but the post office rarely let us down.

Just a view from the other side, Hope it is not too much of a moan.

We have on occassion been overcharged on import duty and VAT We have never managed to get a refund

Hi Gary

Usually in hibernation this time of the year

The Aluminium backplate on the high end Tru Turn vented spinners actually acts like a mild turbine blade which is very efficient and they look great but not cheap and carry a little more weight .

Wonder if I can be allowed by the mods to make a small but blatant plug.

We now stock selective larger motors from :

Axi, Hacker, EMax, TomCat, Cobra, Himax, Hyperion

Thanks for your patience

[Great planes Sequence]

If you want to stick with 6s then probably better to go with the Tomcat 60 17x8 prop or the Tomcat 601 (sorry not on the site yet) with a 17x10 prop As another option Turnigy 5055 430kv HK motor .
