Like many others I met Ali at his trade stand during a weekend model show. Very amiable and polite man, and a brilliant pilot. Very best wishes to you and your family. Hope you all have fun and are successful in U.S

Hi, I have the same message "Saving model memory data" flash up every time I switch off, but thought this was normal. It only happens once though. I am sure that you are not supposed to switch the Tx on whilst it is charging...this may be causing problems. Keith

I would love to take it off your hands, will replace Agilily I have broken Keith.

That's a new one on me Phil, why a flourescent one? The spinner isn't that big in relation to the aircraft, might be easier to use flourescent covering on the wing leading edges.  

I would go with B.E.B's suggestion and just chuck the battery pack Alan, it's just not worth the risk of losing the whole plane.  

Hi,    I fly mode 2    I learned to fly in the North East    I still fly in the North East    I was taught by an unofficial tutor (mate), who now flies jets   Keith

Our club also bans pilots from lone flying, although the reason for this (which I totally agree with), is that we fly from a farmers field which is also used by full size aircraft. You cannot possibly watch your model and look out for the full size at the same time.

Hi Dave, my votes are for the following:- 1 - BRC Hobbies 2 - BRC Hobbies 3 - ModelPower 4 - Unknown as I have not bought any kits recently.

Hi Guys, sorry for the late reply (been laid up in bed with the dreaded flu). Cheers Arte, will be checking those out tonight. Thanks for the info, Timbo, I have no idea at present what the AUW will be as I am working from an old plan (1996) and it has been many years since I built anything from scratch (shame on me!!). The plan shows 7x6 3-bladers on O.S 15's. Rob, the floats do retract onto the wingtips, and we are on the same wavelength - I was thinking of a single servo operating via bell cranks to get them moving.  

Hi, I am about to construct a Catalina (73" wingspan) which is designed for 2 x 0.15cu. in engines, but wish to convert it to electric power. Also, I would ideally like to build it  with retracting floats ( although no undercarriage). Could anyone please point me in the right direction with regards to :-  a) suitable power trains...  b) how to get the floats retracting. Many thanks. Keith

Hi, what about the BRITEFLYER or BRIT-EFLYER as it is electric.  

Merry Xmas and all the best to everyone who help to make this the best site around for us toy fliers!!
