I'm in Nottingham. What do you mean by recycle.

Ether is no problem at all. I have gallons of the stuff.

Posted by Tomtom39 on 01/05/2014 10:49:44: I got some quite a few years ago via a airfield fuel supply co in Aton, Hants . Details of the co are as follows:- http://www.aircraftfuel.co.uk/index.html Thanks for the contact, I have sent them an email. I'll let you know what response I get.

I'm mixing competition diesel fuel for high performance diesel engines used in vintage control line combat. Currently using Bartoline paraffin from Homebase & wanted to try Jet A1 to see if there was any performance benefits.

I am aware what Jet A1 is, just need to know where I can get it from. Currently using a mix of, ether, castor oil, paraffin (from homebase) & Dii3

I'm mixing diesel fuel & it's been recommended by an engine builder/tuner.

Can anyone tell me where I can get Jet A1 from. Have tried a couple of places but being told they cannot resell unless it's going into an aircraft. Cheers

Hi Danny Tamiya do a smoke paint, it's quite watery and can be brushed on adding layers makes it darker so quite easy to blend and fade. the only down side is it is a glossy finish.

I am really quite peed off with this kit at the moment & blackhorse, I would seriousley consider my next purchase, if it were to be a blackhorse kit I think not !! I have had a lot of problems with this kit. 1st major biggie was the tail plane, it did'nt align square to the wings, when the tube was inserted & the tail planes slid on, they were not square with the fuselage, I had to elongate the tube hole in the fuse to allow it to line up square & then used resin & microfibre to set it in place. 2nd biggie is the undercarrige !! what a joke this has turned out to be. 1st the kits had upgraded retracts supplied, so the mounting holes in the wings had to be moved as the new Oleos were longer. The Oleos themsevles are made of cheese !! so last week after loosening the screws around the retract spigot to line the wheels up fore & aft the threads in the cheese were not able to be retightened sufficiently to stop the legs from wobbeling around on the spigots, seeing that this is going to cause a failure in the future, I have now decided to order some new Custom Made Oleos from Unitracts for a cost of £40, so this is the 3rd set of retracts/Oleos & it's not even got off the ground yet !!!! As I have said before the hardware supplied with this kit is of poor quality, most of the screws are made from the same cheese as the Oleos. Do I feel any better now ?   No not really !!!

Posted by 3bears on 25/01/2013 04:13:05: Danny, you asked about the left/right switch on the two landing lights. This would be to achieve redundancy - landing light bulbs have a short life, so it's nice to switch in the other when the first fails. If both were on together, both would be likely to fail at about the same time I had heard or read somewhere recently that the reason for the left right light was, they were about 750W each, the onboard generator/dynamo could only support one light & it was pilot preference as to which one they used ??

Posted by PaulH on 23/01/2013 11:45:33: Never knew it existed, but doesn't seem to be very useful as a word document for each year. It would be a wonderful reference in conjunction with the digital copies if it was on-line and you could just click on the index and go to the article you wanted to read. Now that WOULD be cool

Just found the link to it, didn't know it existed. I will use it now but why isn't it somewhere more prominent ?

Index ? Where's that ?
