    This is looking good Gary! Lucas

    We purchased (on Banggood) DHV56MG servo's. Digital, 5.6 gr, 1.2 kgcm, 0.10 sec. And a pleasant 6GBP price tag. I have never used these before. They look good whn testing on on the bench after arrival: zero slack on the shaft, little play in the gear, nearly soundless and (as far as one can judge that) they seem to center consistently. And the first one survived 500 cycles. Lucas

    Morten (on of the other building) found laminating pouches. After being run trough the laminating machine (without paper in between) it ended up like this: 0.2 mm. Would that be OK? Lucas

    Norwegian Gnat Squad build thread started: https://www.modelflying.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=148413#2526685 Happy building! Lucas

    The kits have arrived in the London office: Now I wait for a colleage to bring them to Norway. The FMS units are supposed to be send from China in the last week of January. So by the end of Feb all should be here. Lucas

    After doing a club build of 7 Microaces Scrappee's last autumn we have decided to prepare the summer season with building a handfull of Gnat's together. Most work will be done during the Wednesday Club night, so progress will not be very quick. However, that does not matter since there usually is snow on the ground until May. 3 member (your scribe included) have signed up, and to make things easy we have ordered kits from Tony Nyhuis. So let's Go! Lucas

    Will we do any build threads, like we used to do with Mass builds in the past? Or post everything in this discussion thread? Regards, Lucas

    I can imagine that they have stock. 4-max do charge just under double price compared to Banggood. And that is without shipping cost to Norway. We are not in a hurry. There will be snow on the ground until May... Merry Christmas and good building. Lucas

    Banggood is out of stock now. Estimated restocking time is 6 weeks. Are there good alternatives for a 3S setup? Lucas
  17. Lucas Hofman
    Yes! The Norwegian squadron has ordered 3 woodpacks. We hope to start building in the 2nd half of January. It will be a slow build, since we intend to do most of the work during the weekly club evening. Happy Christmas and many good flights in the new year

    1. TN EDF Jets. It looks like there will be 3 of those build here in Norway starting in January. If it becomes the subject of the Mass Build then I will encourage all builders to sign up to this forum. Lucas

    I am in for a TN ducted fan. Probably a Gnat. I had already vented the idea of a club build during the weekly club night. Looks there will be three takers. Lucas

    Tim, Skies are fine on some centimeter snow over a hard subsurface (frozen ground or ice). On thicker layers of snow I find that flying boats hulls are best. Regards, Lucas

    What about the structure of the Mass Build? I dropped out when the mass build was moved to the spring. For me buiilding is a winter activity. In the springtime there are so many other things competing for time, and when the weather is nice it is time to go out flying! Tony Nyhuis his small jets may also be good candidates. Similar enough to give the feeling of building the "same" model, but still providing some variety. Cheers, Lucas

    Nice colour scheme Pete!

    Ray, i found the position of the pln to be good. I tried first with a more rearward position, but she was unpleasant to fly. My ailerons have less throw, about 3-4 mm down, 6-8 up. Start with little; you do not need to roll during the first flight, but if you have too much you can’t make decent turns and will have problems with keeping the wings level, which may be the end of the model.

    After ending 2nd in a landingcompetion (power off in downwind, fly base and final and land on the line) I wanted to give a little present to "Gentle Curves". A customized wooden prop and a propeller nut from justengines: Gentle Curves is very easy to side slip, which makes landings that much more controlled. Cheers, Lucas
