  1. ive often thought could the thrust at idle and max be measured with a fish scale. you could then set your curve at what ever point matches the thrust ..ie 33% thrust at 1/3 stick ,50% at half stick and so on . any one ever tried that approach
  2. there is a sarah lee coming up on bmfa british model flying group on face book .it looks as though she joined that at the end of oct ,same as the op on here
  3. ooooh rich , your skating on thin ice .....walking close to the edge ,not knowing the ano. .in my opinion you should not be flying solo as you cannit possibly be a safe flyer and because you dont know the 4 basic articles you are endangering the universe .......hahah.....fly low
  4. ok in that case you would not need permission to drop the kerb, unless you wanted to write a letter to yourself charging an admin fee , you could then add it to your flying budget
  5. trouble wiith that is you have no right to access . people could just park across it
  6. we are having to this because of our house extension . we need to go to a double dropped kerb from a single . i was expexting around 750. you can do the work yourself if you have it in you and just get it signed off
  7. beb i dont know every driving law ...should i not drive?
  8. the OP will be watching , and imo will be laughing at how serious some on here take themselves , also are the people in charge here able to see when the op last logged on . if its recent ,and they have not commented , its prob a wind up
  9. i mentioned the the possibility of it being a troll and/or journalist to my partner . so whatthen goes onto happen on here there is a war on where the full stops are in the ano .... just what the op wanted i presume ...
  10. i have not read it , but it couldnt be worse than the autumn special...
  11. GOT to be an ef exp ,once you fly one nothing comes close.. Edited By ben goodfellow 1 on 25/10/2016 21:34:17
  12. also there are these https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10204126708881210&set=g.123701460999521&type=1&theater wire pull smoke bombs .
  13. i use a PB v4 smoke pump .with mt oil..i placed the injector in my header some will tell you in the can but they both work... for my injector i silver soldered some tube that was crimped at the end , i then drilled some very small holes into the tube near the end , this tube enters the header with about 2 inched or so running down the center of it to provide a little pre heat . set up for me was pain on my dx 18 . you had to have 3 mixes to get a liniar mix slaved to the engine that was switchable .. my 18sz was a lot easier and took 5 mins, if your getting a lot of residue on your airframe chances are your putting too much oil in, my pump only runs around 25 % @6.6v (2s life ) at full throttle on a 60cc , ive have looked a lot , and there are ways of creating coloured smoke , it dose however involve some chemicals that may well reinact gldfingers fortknox scene !.so ill leave that to you....also i made my set up self containedunit so 6 m3 bolts and the whole lots out if i dont want the weight in.. fly low
  14. how do you find the 5245s ? i avoided using them in an EF exp because of the reported centering issues that some have had...having said that ive alot of hitec servos and had little in the way of problems .
  15. Posted by Robert Putley 1 on 26/09/2016 07:58:31: Purchased a Spektrum DX6, the earlier model with only one ariel. RX DSMX. Flying my Flair Astro Hogg, three times experienced loss of control, only by holding the tranny high above my head, did I regain control of the aircraft. Managed to bring the model back to terra firma in one piece. Sent the TX to HH, returned with a note that a new RF board had been installed, even though I explained that I put the problem down to the single upright ariel. Question 1) Has anyone had this issue? 2) If so, assuming the TX was returned, did HH replace the RF board? Now the sixty four thousand dollar question.....DID THE FIX WORK ? Q1 ......emmmm yes ..lots and lots and lots of people !!
  16. We choose to go to the moon(or build large models) in this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which tests us.....and because we can....
  17. i bought a proxxon micro torque ratchet , just for working on my petrols .. the prop will probaly have to be about 6-7nm if its wood and a little more for carbon .. Edited By ben goodfellow 1 on 22/09/2016 08:00:41

  19. If you intend to to 3D . The flying style this model is designed for. you want the lightest prop you can get so you don't get flywheel wffect . It wants to be both de and accelerating as fast as possible .
