Perhaps this time I will be a little luckier!

Have a search on eBay for Sunwise.
I use them for Fishing & Shooting, besides RC Flying. They have interchangable Lenses to suit all conditions.
No axe to grind, I have NO Connection with them. Just a darn good product at a good price.
Assuming you haven't already committed as your post was March 2008.

A P40 will be much better than a P45, please?!

The only Texan I will ever be able to afford so here is my bid
Ron

Means I will have to buy a larger Engine but, what the heck!
R

Oh yes, just what the doctor ordered.
Maybe this time I will be lucky!

Sorry Richard but I have had to use it on the replacement as when I tightened the one which came with the Kalm 60, the threads stripped!
I had to use the old Nose Leg also as the one with the Kalm was too short and gave the model a definite nose down attitude when on the ground.

Almost sorted thanks David. Just solving by a process of elimination!
The last job to do is mounting the Engine. Needs a bit of Surgery on the built in engine Bearers and a couple of 'Cutaways' either side if the nose to clear the Manifold and Needle Valve.
Not a bad Model but certainly not for a Novice. The Instructions are not clear, and in some cases, extremely vague!
Very little Text and flat, for want of a better word, photographs/illustrations.
Thanks anyway.

Anyone have experience of the Kalm Trainer imported by Wholesale Planes?
Supposed to be an ARTF but mine is still causing me problems, been at it for over a week.
The 'Build' Instructions are a bit of a Joke. Pictures are basically taken through Fog.
No suggestion as to the positioning of the Engine, in my case an SC46.
God help anyone finishing one as a first project!

Basically it is OK in experienced hands! As far as mine is concerned that is.
For a beginner well, you have to be a 'natural' otherwise it zips all over piggin the place!
Mine spends more time on the shelf than it has ever done in the air!
Think I will use the Batteries for my Leccy Gliders, along with the TX.
Guess I could use the 4 in 1 as an Rx also and turn the gain right off!

You are all wrong it is mine!!!

No luck with the Tiggie, so here we go for the cessna instead.
I you are not in it then you cannot win it!!

Thanks for your input Dustin,
Not really interested in the Great Planes as it is a bit of a Plank, thanks all the same.
Compared the German Hype offering with the Kalm and there does not seem to be a lot in it!
You are right there is so much, too much, choice out there.
Going to put the lid on this now as it is not really getting anywhere. Just going round in circles.
Will fly my old Twin Star or Easy Glider electric until we come back from Tenerife and then will have to make my choice for better or for worse.

Dustin,
Which Model are you putting down?
The Kalm or the Mascot?
Ron
-
Pretty much decided now that a Kalm 60, from Wholesale Planes is going to be the replacement for the Arising Star.
Am relaibly informed that it is slightly better than the Arising Star, Semi-symetrical wing Section otherwise no real difference.
Thanks to everyone who responded.
Happy Landings
Ron

Count me in.
I will be inTenerife when this is drawn so be patient when you try to contact me!!

Anyone any comments/thoughts on the Ripmax Nova 40 Trainer they would like to share?
Ron

Thanks Phil but I think I have a way to go before committing to a Low Winger.Looking also at a Ripmax Nova as the Seagull Cessna looks like not being imported any moreRon
CHRISTMAS GREETINGS THREAD
in Chit-chat
Posted
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
Wonderfull Takeoffs and Superb Landings to all Flying this festive time of the year.
Watch out for that old fool in the Red Suit though on the 24th. Full of Christmas cheer, if what we used to leave out for him when I was young is anything to go by.
