Posted by ron evans on 19/10/2019 10:05:41: Fine defence by Eng to snuff out Oz and take their own chances. Scrums still a bit of a time wasting mystery, though I don't think the pitch helped much. Yeah, I’m not much of a rugby man but the scrums baffle me. come on Ireland!

Come on England. Gifted the Aussies at the start of second half.

Excellent congrats

Did you try squirting some fuel in the carb? How old is the plug? I tried for ages to start an old but barely run Zenoah 45 and nearly gave up. I swapped the plug and it started right up - even though the old one had hardly any time on it. Worth a try.. good luck

Any progress Martyn? I was going to leave the front of the cowl on my Sukhoi open too, but I have it on good authority that it should be closed off, and an inlet : outlet ratio of 1:4 or 1:5 used....just a thought. Edited By Rich too on 18/10/2019 11:47:07

Posted by Adrian Smith 1 on 16/10/2019 22:48:48: Nice tidy work there, Rich. Do you know what size/type of prop you will use? Was the servo matching unit easy to do the job? Thanks Adrian. I think it's a bit of OCD!! I've gotten more concerned with vibrating and chafing wires, and fuel tubing as I've gotten older! I believe I've got a 28 x 10 for it, I can't remember the brand - I'll use decent CF ones when I stop breaking them! Yes, the X24 unit is a doddle to use once you get the hang of it. I am very pleased with it. I also may want to use twin receivers so we'll see how easy that is to set up.

Posted by Ultymate on 16/10/2019 20:16:48: Purely a matter of taste, but I always whenever possible use a cable between the throttle servo and the carb and rely on the throttle spring to close the throttle. This greatly reduces the amount of vibration being fed directly into the servo Yeah, I've heard others do that, but the method I use is tried and tested - MG servos are a must. I always leave the springs in place. I've never had an issue.

Then it was on to the business end, and final installation of the motor, and associated wiring. I also started to make up and install cables for the elevators.

A bit more progress, finished wiring the wings and matching the servos.

Posted by Old Geezer on 15/10/2019 23:51:33: The way I've repaired similar damage in the past is: cut out the entire damaged section using a razor saw, a nice fresh and very sharp #22 blade and a straight edge, cut a piece of soft balsa ( grain running laterally, obviously ) to exactly fit your now tidy hole in the leading edge. My own preference is to cut out the damage obliquely at each end and the ends of the balsa replacing the deficit at a similar angle - thus ensuring a snug fit without lots of trimming, logical when you think about it. Now all you have to do when the white glue is dry is plane and sand the balsa to section and re-cover. The balsa was usually found in those cheap packs of off cuts at your LMS - used to be too cheap not to always have a pack or two in the shed, kept in the 'might come in useful' box. You could use soft balsa block, or make a few “ribs” to fill the hole and give the sheet some support.

More pics would be great what’s the motor?
