OP question - I have used pellets like these rather than waste a large block for small pot repairs. still needs painting or you could try adding acrylic paint to match?

Brilliant conclusion to a challenging project which I have followed from the beginning 👏 I also appreciate you taking the time to share the ups/downs and techniques along the way.

The Petrincic Bros at 10 min have been using a mat runway for years in a rough field.

Arrr - that brings back memories. My Dad beat the yanks twice, once in a Canberra when they followed an airliner from Canada undetected and a second time in a Vulcan when they beat up SAC in Nebraska at 500' the climbing almost vertical directing a lovely noise directly at the ground freighting the (lets say) living daylights out of the Yanks who had no idea they were there. Sorry back on topic.

I have several ASP (same as an SC) mounted sidewinder 90' or slightly up/down to suit, which is my preferred mounting as it positions the spray bar nicely relative to the existing tank position and locates the exhaust down and under. It's also easy to get a glow stick on and with no issue pooling fuel putting the glow out gives me anyway very reliable running. 90% as good as an OS but at 50% the price. Only issue I have experienced is the carb seems to be the first point to experience wear which in turn shows up as iratic running at low speed. That said I have just bought a new 70 so happy to part with my own money.

Stunning Dirk, it has been enjoyable and very informative following your progress and really appreciate you taking your time to share the ups and downs. Enjoy and am sure it will fly as well as it looks 👏

Really enjoying/learning following this absolutely fantastic build 👍 However - how did you get the spinner jig over the 3 bladed prop 🤔

Fair comment but harsh and obviously not read my May 6th post which pointed out I can and do watch YT but not linked from this site- My grip is that this sites interaction with YT won't accept either the Reject all (which I understand) or the essentials only with limited functionality which is fine by me. I can visit YouTube directly and watch no issue and no pop-up prompts. So I can only surmise as a non tecie it is something to do with this sites interaction hence the request for assistance from tec support. Thanks JS 1 🤞

Mods - how do I raise this issue with the tec people to get it resolved please? I refuse to be bullied into accepting non essential cookies so someone can sell/use my data. Thank you. 🤞

RW - "Just select ‘functional only’ and save settings." That's my issue It won't accept that or (reject all which I can understand that one.) Can watch YouTube so something specific to this site, which as a mag subscriber supporting the site is more than a little disappointing curtailing my enjoyment of the forum.

Suddenly it is asking to accept all cookies to view any/all videos 🤬 Clicking to accept only necessary and save or reject all won't allow viewing of any recent posted videos. - could last week so something has changed? Anyone else having this same issue? or how to fix please? I though it was a legal option not to have to accept marketing/analytical etc. Using - PC, Win 10, Chrome and nothing has changed that I am aware off.

@Engine Doctor ,Changed plug for a checked new OS 4F and even left glow stick on, but still dies My money is on a fuel or air issue. Fuel tube sleeve and new o ring next.

@Jon H will try that. @J D 8 - Moderator Try that second. If anyone knows the needle o ring size I would be grateful 🙏 @Engine Doctor If all else fails I will remove the head and do a liquid leak test to see if it shows anything - although hot comp feels ok. Depending on results - decision time.

Engine canted slightly down at 8 o clock. From stable tick over - just dies, no cough/splutter or increase in revs even with glow stick still attached. 😥

Starts easily, runs/sounds fine and comp feels ok. Could take the head off and do a liquid test which may be the next move after a new needle o ring (easier first). Dose anyone know the o ring size please and from Modelfixings?

@J D 8 - Moderator - 🤔 I did look at it and can't see any damage. Is there a test ? Tried measuring the o ring but similar to herding cats trying to get accurate measurements. Dose anyone know the size please and from Modelfixings?

My ASP 70 4* has the opposite issue. Starts easily, revs, fly's nicely, settles to a nice regular tick over with a crisp pickup - however if left ticking over for 10sec ish it dies. If set high fine but then can't land. Tried richening/leaning the bottom but then exhibits incorrect needle setting. Change plug for a checked new OS 4F and even left glow stick on, but still dies. No blockages in new fuel supply lines and pressure tested the tank. Not tried running/adjusting with no exhaust pressure (aka Laser) but understand carb may not be as good at suction. Carb barrel spring to strong overcoming lowering tank pressure as really scratching my head - any help gratefully accepted.

Was resistant to just click on the banner but did and options appeared - so happy bunny now 🐇

Have I missed something only all videos are now requesting cookie acceptance - I can't see anyway of being selective as just not comfortable in blindly signing up to who knows what 🤬 New owners influence ?

I have just bought this 3mm Rubber Matting for mine. Any length which allows it to overhang and protect the bumper and various widths which can be cut accommodate the boot shape. Being 3mm it also allows it to fold back over itself when seats are up.

+1 for tail first after stupidly damaging tail ends while moving.🤬 @Zflyer that tail looks to have come off a little to cleanly ! film off/wood - wood joint can't tell from picture. Easy fix though 🙂

500 errors and so slow I am off to do something faster like race snails.

Even cheaper here and in the UK where I bought mine from 👍 - although currently now out of stock 😥

Followed others with their slow issues and grateful I was not one of them - until today.😥 Takes between 10 - 15 sec to open a topic then at a previous point before loading latest another 10-15 sec later. However for a very brief moment the screen flashes black and I just catch something like modelflying verifying you are human before progressing to load.
