    two questions - for fun.

    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.

    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.

    Windy Weather

    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.
