First of all let me say thanks for taking the time to post the vids,pity some of the critics dont make a vid.I think somewhere you did mention what you paid for it ,does not alter the poor quality if i had recieved it in that state i would have sent it back.i think we in Britain dont complain enough about poor quality.I have spent quite a bit of time in America and i can assure you they dont accept poor quality.Looking forward to the next installment. Gary

Some very intresting replies,i understand that when you buy a so called high end motor that you will be paying a supplement just for the name but i was always told "buy cheap buy twice" I know that even if you buy a high end motor if you crash it will be the same as crashing with a cheaper motor.Iam not really looking for performance just a motor that will last seems like the turnigy is a fair alternative?

First of all i am a complete newcomer to electric flight and my question is are the hacker motors worth the extra money compared to the cheaper motors on the market? Gary

thanks for all your replies,i was thinking about the tucano in the mass build

I am thinking about building a plane and was wondering which heat shrink would be best?I want some that is strong,easy to put on and will not wrinkle in the sun.I already have the iron and heat gun any advice please, because when i looked for some there is a whole raft of them quite confusing to a newbie like me thank you Gary

how long have i got until the offer of the full kit closes? Gary

That put a smile on me face,read it out to the wife and she said "would you like her to build it as well" lol.Most of the tools are the wifes anyway as she is big into crafts.Plasterboard ! i would never have thought of that. thanks Gary

thanks for the list of tools got most of that ,what do you use for a building board ,dont think swmbo likes the idea of sticking pins into the top of the dining table Gary

could you please tell me what tools i will need to build the tucano kit? thanks Gary

I have been following the "tucano build"now be honest if i order the kit will i be able to finish it as i am a complete numpty when it comes to to building anything out of wood. I would be right in saying that it will be more like putting a jigsaw together than actually building it from scratch, what i mean is not much sawing and sanding? Gary

I have just bought a dynam bf 109 and have been looking at some reviews,most people who have got this plane are very pleased with it apart from the under carriage,it seems that it has got a tendancy to tip over onto its nose.They mentioned putting more of a forward rake on it but forgot to say how they did this,any ideas?thanks Gary

I have just got myself a dynam bf 109 and am looking for a set of decals, i would like it to look like the plane the great Erich Hartmann flew,any ideas thanks Edited By David Ashby - RCME on 05/11/2012 07:54:54

On our way back from ludlow i said to the wife "could always call into the whitchurch model shop,not after anything" good she said.The guy in the shop was very helpfull,picked up some cyno [shock horror at the price] and some kicker and a battery checker.Kept looking around as you do and kept being drawn towards the dynam bf 109,the guy said" would you like to look into the box" not wanting to refuse his kind offer the box was open,wow, very nice plane.By this time shmbo came into the shop shaking her head,"do you like it" she said of course was the reply whats not to like,go on then buy it and with that the card came out and i am now a proud owner of the above plane. Got to stop just calling into thes model shops.

Thanks for all your replies, i am learning to fly and am really enjoying it.Ten years ago plus i was looking into flying and bought 2 plane kits cant remember what they are,putting it together was fairly easy but when it came to sanding and cuting some of the fiddly bits i just could not get it right thats not to mention fitting the snakes and servos and the engine and covering ,forget it ,i probably bit of more than i could chew. I want to stay with electric as a power scource and am looking for something around a 50 inch wingspan so can you suggest a kit that wont have me pulling my hair out,not that i have much left,3 kids and a wife you know it will do that to you lol

I know a lot of you will say that building is the bigest and best part of rc flying but i have tried twice to try and build a plane but it just does not happen for me so they have been left in the shed,no patience,i mean we all cant be good builders.My question is is there a firm out there who would build me a plane?
