  1. This would be a great replacement for one I recently crashed.
  2. Please count me in, I'd really like this model.
  3. I first bought a Fleet 3 channel set second hand. It was reliable after I sent it back to Fleet for repair! I borrowed a Macgregor 2 +1 while the Fleet set was away for repairs. This was fitted to a Mini Super which I was learning on and was "interesting" to fly with! My next set was a Micron 6 channel on 27 Meg. It was very reliable and I still have it, but haven't used it in a long time. I went on to JR and now use a 3810 for helis and larger electric fixed wing, a 388 for small electrics and I've added a Futaba 9Z for my oily power planes.
  4. Check your aileron Y lead! A fellow club member had a very lucky escape last Sunday when, two minutes into its maiden flight, his new 1/4 scale Extra performed two uncommanded rolls! luckily he was able to land it OK. On checking the radio installation, he found that the new aileron Y lead was faulty. The center joint had been badly made (it was actually butt-jointed!) and was making intermittent contact. Hope you find your problem.
  5. I've never won anything before, so this could be the first!
  6. My favourite for windy weather is a Dave Smith Aerostar pattern ship. Second favourite is my Carl Goldberg Super Chipmunk. I'm lucky in that our club patch is in the middle of a 400 acre farm with no trees anywhere near, so turbulence is rare.
  7. At the last count it was 21, or 22 if you are counting the Picoo Z. I have 5 IC helis, 3 gliders, 6 sports electric and the rest are sports or scale IC power. I really do need to thin out the fleet a bit!
