[Laminating film - buying it and using it.]

I Ron,

Many thanks for that. If it doesn't happen for me and you should eventually buy more put me down for 10m.

Cheers, Bob

[Laminating film - buying it and using it.]

Hi Ron, if you still have Colins 10m not claimed I wouldn't mind having a go.

[spektrum dx6i transmitter battery contacts]

I have 2 dx6i tx. Early on I converted them to rechargeables due to not liking the connectors possibly weakening whilst flying and losing signal. 5 rechargeable (2000mah) eneloop batteries at 1.2v make up the 6v.   3 are in the battery bay and two are hot glued inside the case in the hand grips (cheeks?). Wired up correctly they will work for ages.  Hopefully the pc board hasn't been destroyed.  Make sure they are wired up properly and the charger pin is the correct polarity.   Sorry to hear about the divorce, we had our 50th last week. Amazed that I have so much stamina!!!

[Forum members' new models: Let's see them.]

I did fly one of the HR metal ones once or twice, didn't particularly like it that much.

Superb model David, I have flown mostly the DR400 but a few hours on the DR315.   Thanks Bob.

[Forum members' new models: Let's see them.]

Any more details on the Robin, I have a lot of hours on the full size?

[Third Party Receivers- Lemon, Redcon and Orange etc]

I have been using both Lemon and Orange for quite a while without any problems. A clubmate has had problems with Redcon.

[Lockdown 3 has eased, who's been flying?]

4 flights today, took a elderly World Models Alpha e-glider, Radian XL and Gamma Pro. First flight was with the Alpha and with about a 40 second  motor run I managed a 20 minute flight with 6 Buzzards at varying levels, some above and some below the Alpha over the flatlands of Suffolk. The Buzzards cleared off after about 10 minutes but I couldn't as I would have been out of bounds. What a start to the hopefully long lasting freedom! Unfortunately, no photos or video as the only other person was flying too.

EDF is electric ducted fan Rich. It has given me an idea!

[Think I've cocked up but need to make sure!]

I once lost a model for two weeks about 6 years ago and the battery was completely dead. Using the method Gary mentioned above brought the battery back to life. I'm still using said battery.

Thanks for the link Matty.

[Micro Bird of Time glider]

Thnks again Steve, will have a gander.   

[Micro Bird of Time glider]

Thanks Steve that sounds reasonable, may go for it as I have a birthday coming soon.

Hi Steve,  as a matter of interest, how much was the postage? I'm tempted. 

[A limited return to flying?]

Thanks Cymaz

[Multiplex Heron set up.]

Peter, I maidened my Heron (kit version) between lockdown 1 and 2 and set it up with crow on the throttle stick and throttle on a slider.  This was the first time I had used this arrangement and it works well, you just have to remember where the throttle is.  I'm now going to change all my e.gliders that have crow enabled to this method as it seems more natural.

Cheers, Bob

[Motor for Mpx Heron]

Conrad, your previous post was lost due to the website changeover. I replied that I used an Emax GT2820/07 motor in mine, Robotbirds have them in stock at £24.99 I think. Someone else replied and had used a motor from 4Max but I can't remember which one but only about £4 more and probably easier to get spares.

Hi Beth, Thanks very much for that, you're a star. All working fine now.

I don't seem to be able to access the digital back issues although I have had the latest print one. I paid for both. Any ideas???

[Advent Prize Draw - 24th Dec - last one!]

Yes pleasy.

[Advent Prize Draw - 23rd Dec]

Yes please.

[Advent Prize Draw - 23rd Dec]

Yes please sire.

[Recommend a flat field electric glider]

I have recently maidened the Multiplex Heron which I bought as a kit from Pegasus, a fair bit of faffing to put it together which utilizes CA glues. Not my favorite adhesive, but the Heron parts are great quality and it flies very well indeed. It climbs pretty fast and takes a while to come down on non thermal days.

[Advent Prize Draw - 21st Dec]

Oooh, yes please.

[Advent Prize Draw - 20th Dec]

Yes please.
