    Thanks Chris, that did it.

    Oh heck! I'm struggling fellers and I thought I was able to find my way around most Web sites. I've just tried a search for Mini Super, as in Keil Kraft/Ben Buckle. What came up was every post with the words mini and super in it. I gave up after wading through loads of posts about super glue. What an I doing wrong?

    Here's my particular favourite guitar player and an old boy as well - my age anyway. Gentleman, I give you the most excellent Ry Cooder.

    Several old boys here. Carl Perkins and Friends including Eric Clapton, George Harrison and Dave Edmunds having a Rockabilly session. If this doesn't get your feet tapping, you may actually be dead.

    I'm reading the The Good Shepherd by CS Forester, now retitled Greyhound after the film based on the book staring Tom Hanks. It's only available on Apple TV, so I haven't seen it unfortunately, but I assumed that Hollywood would take liberties with the story as they have tended to in the past. I'm thinking about U571 in particular. Friends who have seen it say it's very good, so I was interested to find this review on YouTube which says, by and large, it`s true to the book and reasonably historically accurate.

    This was posted on the Balsa Cabin's Facebook page this afternoon :- "Our couriers and ourselves are doing the best we can to deliver your orders, but due to the current situation the UK and the whole world is in please be patient. We will not put up with your rudeness and abuse there really is no need for it, we are human like yourself. Vanda and David" Edited By Dai Fledermaus on 21/12/2020 17:39:59

    As someone who knows a whisk and chasse from a reverse turn, it was was good to see a dancer of a certain age, win it. Gives some hope to all us old gits learning to dance. 😊

    If you feel that strongly about it Mitchell, why not go around you house and get rid of all the 'Chinese Tat' you find. Include all the products containing 'Chinese Tat' and don't forget to include the device you used to make your post. Edited By Dai Fledermaus on 18/12/2020 18:50:53

    Terry, I have a Hobby King Bixler which is very similar to the Easy Star. I found attaching the wings was a real pain, so I now leave the wings permanently attached. I'm not sure the method of fixing the wings would have taken too much assembly and disassembly anyway. The Easy Star may be better in this regard, but I would check it out if you're hoping to pack it in a box strapped to your bike

    The announcement from the Government that the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2030 is interesting, given that several manufacturers, like Rover, Audi and Mercedes, have recently halted production of some of their electric models due to shortage of supply of key ingredients like Cobalt and Lithium used in manufacturing batteries. As a hobby we've seen this problem reflected in the availability and increased cost of Lipo's. Add to this the shortage of Balsa, a situation which doesn't appear to have a short term answer. How do you see the the future direction of the hobby?

    The Old Timer R/C Facebook pages would also be a good source of help and support. Link

    Posted by gangster on 30/08/2020 06:57:08: Similar questions have been asked on here about electrifying th J60 and have been answered in detail. I have put photos on myself in a few examples. As skipper says a search on this site may we’ll be very helpful Gangster, I was was not about electrifying an ic J60 kit. I was asking what the differences were, if any, between the standard Ben Buckle J60 and their electric J60. If there aren't any physical differences eg a longer nose perhaps, why bother to market two separate kits.

    Ben Buckle have a version of their Junior 60 kit for electric power. Does anyone know what, if any, are the differences between this and the standard ic kit?

    Although understandable, I think there may be a little confusion here. The power set up I gave first, the one recommended by 4max, was for the 50" 3ch Ben Buckle Novice, originally designed for ic, which I've now converted to electric. Designed by Sid King and originally sold by his company, it was called Cotswold Miss. The plan for Novice E, again by Sid King, is similar, but at 40" is obviously physically smaller and specifically designed for electric power was published in 2015. This is the one fly boy3 is interested in. Fly boy3, I don't know enough about the dark art to comment on the suitability of your motor, others here are far more knowledgeable. What I can say is that if you are planning to fit ailerons, 3S is the way to go. The size of that 3S lipo in mAh will depend on how the model balances and how much room you have in the model to move the lipo around to get the CG in the right place. 3S x 1300mAh seems a good start point.

    On the Novice E plan, Sid King recommended the following set up:- Turnigy 2822 1450 kv motor 2S 2200 lipo or 3S 1300 lipo 20 amp ESC 7x5 Prop.
