I had loads of replies on 6inc wheels for my 1/3 scale cub,i got them from Inwood,thanks to all. I am now pushing my luck further & asking for a supply of dummy engines for the same. If at first you dont succeed.

This is getting out of hand!! How about the galloping ghost (well shake my bum) now we are realy showing our age.Nice to look back on though. My first attempt at rc was a home brewed rx. All the parts pinched from the radar dump,using an acorn valve. Used in an old free flight model,if the rudder flapped once or twice it was magic

Hi Shaun. I dont know how old you are,but take a bit of sound advise froman 80 yr old (young) still active flyer & get some help if you can,but if not,press on mate,a lot of us had to learn the hard way. Just make sure that engine is secure to a test bench,& keep well away from that prop.But above all dont give up at the first hurdle,there will be many more to come,but the satisfaction at the end makes it all worth while Best of luck

Hi fellow nuts Just bought a JR RS70 rx I can,t get over the fact that you don,t need a xtal, been trying to find the basics on how this system works, but so far,no luck. As for 2.4, i have too many 35 meg stuff to warrent changing to that,& i would like to see how the dust settles first.Been flying since 1946,in the day,s of air cored coils & behive trimmers,(how things have changed) Happy & safe flying to all.

HI Adam You can shrink this material as normal but with a lot more heat. I suggest you make up a test frame & play with it,it is as good as nylon without the hassle,buy 1/2mtr & try it for yourself,. It needs about three coats of clear dope ( thin )after shrinkage. I use a heat gun myself to shrink up Use thick dope or equivalent for attatching Apply to frame or edge of pannel & rubb with finger to saturate contact with cloth Do not over sretch the pannel . I am sure you will be delighted with the result. Merton
