Hope they will keep on flyin' http://www.roguevalleyflyers.com/ In Denmark, models more then 7kg are tested for security and can only fly from approved fields by certyfied pilots. I find that OK, but does not stop "rogues".

Well, it would still not be allowed just because someone does it  Edited By Per Herholdt on 16/07/2014 08:21:01 Edited By Per Herholdt on 16/07/2014 08:23:47

Yes, after taking the basic-flying test ( Danish A-Certificate) for model pilots. In My former club after aproval of seniormembers of the club.

It's hard to pick just one but the maiden and the following flights with my new Hangar9 Pawnee is high on the list. It is powered bu an OS 95v, and it has plenty of power and the sweetest suond crucing at just about 3500rpm. This plane can fly very scale, and on top of that I just feel up to more aerobatics then ever before when flying it. It can make long scale takeoffs, or be in the air after just a few yards, and the landings - uhh with the flaps Down - so smooth Next year it would be nice to try some glider towing with the Pawnee, and I'm also looking forward to get my new Hangar9 Tiger Moth in the air, and finishing the old Spit that I got swcond hand and cowering the Flair SE5a and .......... to many projects Regards, Per Herholdt

Posted by Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator on 03/09/2013 12:21:00: Basically if something is unfamilar. So yes I'm always on "hightened alert" (sounds so much better than just plain old fashioned nervous doesn't it!) if it's a maiden, if its someone else's model or I'm flying "away from home" Strangely problems with a model in the air don't make me nervous at the time - just very focussed. I then have a sort of "reaction" afterwards once its down and all over one way or the other! - "phew!" adrelalin pumping like mad etc! TBH - I am also nervous when I hear one or two particular clubmates call "taking-off" when I'm already flying! Their call is usually answered by me calling "landing"! BEB Well said, just how I feel about it

I just got my Seagull Fairchild in the air and here is what I found: It is a perfect match for my OS 56a four stroke. Thinking that the engine was a bit to the heavy side, I put the 2s 1300mah LiPo in the back seat position. Without a spinner it needs 50 grams on the firewall and flies like a dream. Some of that weight will be replaced by a spinner, and the battery left where it is for easy access. The engine has plenty of power for the plane. Regards Per Herholdt

Hi I'm thinking of buying a model just like that for my OS 56a 4stroke, that has been draging a Spacewalker ll and a Chipmunk round the last four seasons, and done a good job. (The Chippie a bit underpowered, but werry nice flying) Wich engine did you end up with in your plane? As I understand from an earlier thread, you considered a SC52 4stroke.
