I've stuck together a hybrid sort of thing, using a John Smith (or is it Dave?) fuselage and an ARC Cardinal wing . Its almost ready to test fly, but I dont know where the balance point should be. Can any Cardinal owner help? Many thanks if you can.   Colin B

I'll maybe just have a go at that Phil, ta again for your response /advice, regards Colin B

Hi Phil, ta for your response. I cant get the suggest a model feature to work, hence the post in this thread yesterday. I just thought that it would be easier all round if readers could just print and post their reviews rather than suggest a model for review, get it ok'd by David, and then do the review. But anyway, as you say, I'll just half to be patient! regards Colin B

I'd like to do a review on the Sig Rascal 110", but cant get Sig to come up on the  brands list, despite there being a Sig 40 review already posted. David , isn't it possible to simplify the review process by just typing in the  make/model etc?  It frustrates a computer simpleton like myself  when thwarted by what I'm sure is no problem to someone who knows what they're about. Best regards Colin B

Missed last month's shotty, but I promise to buck up! I'm in to win.

David, Eric, Timbo, Brian, Many thanks for your quick responses, I'm a lot happier about the situation now. It would seem to do eventual harm to the connectors, but other than that,no problem.  David, once I've got this Rascal110 flying, I'll submit a review on it.

Hi guys, I'm presently fitting out  a sig rascal 110, with electric power. I have an axi 5330/24 motor with a jeti advance 90 opto speed controller installed. Power comes from two sharkpower 3700 5s batteries in series. This gives about 41 volts when fully charged. My problem/worry is that when I go to test run everything, I switch on transmitter,then radio power, then when i connect the power cable (positive) to the speed controller a fairly fat spark is given off at the point where the 4mm plugs first touch.Is this normal? The motor runs fine and all seems well, but that big noisy spark doesnt seem right. Can anyone advise? many thanks in advance. Colin B.

If at first ye dinnae succeed, puull yer..........kilt ower yer heid! We hae plenty seagulls up in these pairts, But nae mony Texans! Please  (again) David?

12 hundred to 1 are terrible odds,but you never ever should say never ever. I'm in please?

Thanks YakMad, I'll have a squint at those.

Thanks Tim.

By the way Timbo, ive tried to put a pic  on top of that very dark person over on the right but it always tells me that it has failed because my pic has more than 12kb. Can I downgrade my pic to suit ,or does it require a new pic altogether?

Thanks Tim, I do live and learn.

Whats IMHO?

Timbo, I cant agree with you that the site was rubbish, it suited me pop on. I'll admit that my style of buying ( switch/ phone) may be Ark ish but it does work very well, and speaking to the supplier can reap rewards which may not be apparent  via internet only.
